Plan for Bird Flu
It is not known if the Avian Flu pandemic will become a reality. Hopefully it will not. Still, preparing for this will also prepare for many other possible emerging infectious diseases. Some things to consider? Masks, gloves, anti-viral drugs, vaccines (not yet available for this flu), medicines usually taken, food and water. The resources below will help to keep you updated. Some are updated daily ad some are not. Some are from governmental entities and some are web logs kept by infectious disease experts.
PREPARING FOR THE COMING INFLUENZA PANDEMIC: An excellent and detailed article by Grattan Woodson, MD, FACP. Useful and specific information. Updated information can be found in Dr. Woodson's book.
