Subject: Re: Mexican Swine Flu by bastet44 on 2009/4/25 7:29:30 I worked with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health and the Los Angeles County Emergency Medical Services Agency. The tools used to estimate illness and death are based on 1918, and as I mentioned, science and knowledge were very different then compared to now. We did not rely on those tools for our planning, but rather looked at realistic steps that could be taken and identified what needs to be done. I agree, the WHO and the CDC are great sources of information. I just don't think most people understand how they work and what their actions mean. |
