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....
