<...a better source, and one that is certain to produce IgG against the correct target......... governments should immediately establish a RAPID RESPONSE program to tap survivors of any established viral threat?>

Richard, if survivors are offered a good load of money I'm sure they'd be happy to share their blood.

Would that only be useful once a pandemic has started or would any H5N1-related blood be some help, even if not the best?

Survivors would also be good nurses and medical helpers. They could earn very good pay rates without taking a risk with their own health.
