Summary of News for December 12 2006
(From WHO as of 29 Nov - latest update) Total human cases worldwide 258, deaths 154 (2006 – 111 with 76 deaths)
The Webster-Govorkova piece below was reviewed by Effect Measure here. ...the Commentary by Robert Webster and Elena Govorkova that accompanies the two papers is a model of clarity and a stunning summary of where we are at this moment. Hardly a word of the 1600 word essay is wasted.
NEJM - H5N1 Influenza — Continuing Evolution and SpreadRobert G. Webster, Ph.D., and Elena A. Govorkova, M.D., Ph.D. "Clearly, we must prepare for the possibility of an influenza pandemic. If H5N1 influenza achieves pandemic status in humans -- and we have no way to know whether it will -- the results could be catastrophic."
