Analysis

26 April 2009 - The starting point for understanding the decision making problems in a potenital pandemic is the report on the 1976 swine flu scare - The Swine Flu Affair. A key difference between the 2009 outbreak and 1976 is that in 2009 there are documented cases. In 1976 there was fear of an outbreak but no documented outbreak.
