It would be wise, IMO, to obtain as much plasma from survivors -- now -- as possible. We need to know if decent "neutralizing" titers are reached.

Does anybody know if poultry workers were infected at a reduced rate, circa 1918? Yes, we've got sentinel infections among those who are exposed to infected poultry, but.... overall and when the story was finished, did poultry workers survive at an increased frequency? TIA for any help.
