What’s being done to prepare for the worst-case scenario?
A lot has changed since the devastating flu pandemic of 1918–1919. Health experts know so much more about what causes disease, how it’s spread, how to track it and how to treat it. Right now they’re mobilizing—they’re making sure that medical resources (including drug treatments like Tamiflu and Relenza) are available in areas where there have been outbreaks, and they’re working on a vaccine to protect against H1N1 flu (it should be ready before next winter, when flu season tends to be in full force).
