Unfortunately, the number of options for an individual are limited. However, there are resources that can be mobilized and really are dependent on some real commitments. WHO has no idea where the virus is and is not, so simply pressure to do adequate monitoring would help. Vaccine efforts are still a joke. There should be a trivalent pandemic vaccine given annually. Preparedness in 2005 isn't much better than 1918.

More testing is clearly required. Asymptomatic relatives of H5N1 patients are now also testing positive

Hi Triff. I'm just having a click around in the old times and see you in the sars discussion. Here we are 16 years since sars got going and not much further ahead with New Zealand authorities laughably, even right now, tell people to cough into their elbows to control infection.

They are still, even right now today, saying that masks are not required in many situations where they're absolutely essential.

There's huge concern now for the trivial little WuFlu which is almost totally harmless compared with the 70%
mortality humanized H5N1 that could have been the rampant infection. Imagine 70% of infected people dead and the rest very sick.
