International Partnership on Avian and Pandemic Influenza Statement of core principles

Annex to the letter dated 31 October 2005 from the Permanent Representative of the United States of America to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary General

Just look at pandemics swine flu, bird flu, H1N1.

They bring on so much influenza

It mimics what we now understand about reconstructing the 1918 flu virus, the last great pandemic, in that it also jumped directly from birds to people.

d Until 1997 referred to as pneumonia and influenza.

The situation is compounded by the increase of worldwide epidemics such as the avian flu.

There were 21 epidemics of infectious diseases registered, with 52,050 cases registered in 1999, 39 epidemics with 42,614 registered cases in 2000, and 31 epidemics with 36,572 registered cases in 2001 (these figures include the influenza cases).

Malaria and dengue are diseases that are difficult to control, and the dimensions of the HIV AIDS epidemic are expanding daily.

Let me show you a simulation of what a pandemic looks like so we know what we're talking about.

Think of cancer, of bird flu, swine flu, SARS.

And that most people who die of regular flu which in regular flu years is about 360,000 people worldwide, most of them senior citizens and they die not of the flu but because the flu gives an assault to their immune system.

And the difference between a normal flu season and a pandemic is about a factor of 1,000 in deaths and certainly enormous economic impact.

She is sensitive to current fashions.

She's highly influenced by current trends.

She follows the latest craze.

Here we come. And that was the influenza.

The spectre of avian flu threatens parts of Asia and Europe and the disease could become a global pandemic.

Every year, 36,000 people in the United States die of seasonal flu.

So a nice example of this came from last year and swine flu.

Flu epidemic.

The threat of avian influenza and other infectious diseases is far from over, and the possibility of the outbreak of a large scale pandemic still exists.

If you just take influenza, you will see peaks at the time where you knew big flu epidemics were killing people around the globe.

Taking into account the increased vulnerability of young girls and women to HIV AIDS and the general feminisation of the epidemic, gender issues are mainstreamed throughout all activities of the project.

Well, we seem to have dodged the deadly pandemic this year that most of us feared, but this threat could reappear at any time.

Swine Flu for Grownups

I've got a touch of the flu.

It's been working to help control pandemic flu, SARS for example.

We tried it against flu A viruses H1N1, H3N2 as well as flu B viruses.

I have the honour to transmit herewith the core principles adopted by the International Partnership on Avian and Pandemic Influenza at a meeting held on 6 and 7 October 2005, noting the global cooperation needed to address health emergencies (see annex).

That's the sound of genetic mutations of the avian flu becoming a deadly human flu.

In addition, wild aquatic birds carry all known strains of influenza.

And the Avian Flu is also not a good idea.

What do you think the likelihood is that there'll be a pandemic?

The Health Bureau reminds residents that people who vaccinated with the 2017 2018 flu vaccine during September 2017 and August 2018 still need to vaccinate with the new seasonal flu vaccine from September 2018, since the flu antigen composition of 2018 2019 flu vaccine in the Northern Hemisphere has been updated , which is targeted at the seasonal influenza in winter of 2018 2019 and summer of 2019 in the Northern Hemisphere.

Stigmatization is so prevalent it has been referred to as the inevitable third epidemic , occurring after the silent epidemic of HIV infection and the AIDS epidemic.

Malaria is endemic in three quarters of the country's land mass, and about two thirds of the population is at risk of infection.
