Dear Colleagues,
Geoeconomic stabilization and emergency actions are now viewed as critical,
pre-impact of a 12-24 month challenge to world trade and travel, due to pandemic
influenza. A call for economic emergency measures in the United States, is a reference
point for 192 member countries of the United Nations.
Pandemic
Influenza: Economic Impacts:
In the context
of educational materials associated with guidelines for pandemic influenza
in the United States, UN member countries can access the following overviews
on <Flu.gov>:
In conjunction
with the risk analysis and contingency planning discussions, optimization
of public health infrastructure in every UN member country is also viewed
as critical. Some view the present window as the only opportunity to
prevent impoverished global regions from facilitating a human and veterinary
public health mechanism for further evolution of high consequence strains,
in a fast track realization of the following analysis:
New and reemerging infectious diseases will pose a rising global health
threat and will complicate US and global security over the next 20 years.
These diseases will endanger US citizens at home and abroad, threaten US armed
forces deployed overseas, and exacerbate social and political instability
in key countries and regions in which the United States has significant interests.
-- The Global Infectious Disease
Threat and Its Implications for the United States: National Intelligence
Council, January 2000.
Looking forward to feedback....
