Let's pretend there's a pandemic.

What do we know from 1918, the last great pandemic?

It's not going to do us very much good in a global pandemic.

Add on pandemic threat, you're in big trouble.

Audience member What factors determine the duration of a pandemic?

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

After all, we do not know when the next pandemic will strike.

To say ahh, if this happens then we are going to have a pandemic?

WHO stages the progress of a pandemic.

And it didn't occur because GPHIN found the pandemic to be of SARS three months before WHO actually announced it, and because of that we were able to stop the SARS pandemic.

Do you want to view the pandemic threat the way back in the 1950s people viewed the civil defense issue, and build your own little bomb shelter for pandemic flu?

What we really want is to arrive right here, so we can stop the epidemic.

So the first question is, why do we need to even worry about a pandemic threat?

Six weeks they had all people in the banking industry pretend a pandemic was underway.

The pandemic circulated three times in 18 months in the absence of commercial air travel.

And they thought that if there was a pandemic, a billion people would get sick.

It's one way to start looking at intervention with the AIDS pandemic.

15 percent said they thought there'd be a pandemic within three years.

Deeply concerned at the HIV AIDS pandemic, and at its disproportionate effect on women and girls,

And then you're on your own because the pandemic is going to last for 18 to 24 months.

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

So instead of a hidden pandemic of bird flu, we find it and immediately contain it.

End result only 15 states have been certified to be able to do mass distribution of vaccine and drugs in a pandemic.

7. Also urges the international community to continue supporting the efforts of the Government to fight the HIV AIDS pandemic

To help Africa build up its capacity to tackle the spread of the HIV AIDS pandemic and other infectious diseases.

A pandemic, flood, or cyber attack in the City of London or Wall Street could send the entire world into a financial tailspin.

Noting with grave concern the continuing spread of the HIV AIDS pandemic in the region, which requires coordinated action at the national, regional and global levels,

But much worse than that, 90 percent said they thought there'd be a pandemic within your children or your grandchildren's lifetime.

And that simulation that I showed you that you thought was bird flu that was SARS. And SARS is the pandemic that did not occur.

It's curious that there is no evidence of mass die offs of chickens or household birds across America before the human pandemic happened.

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.

So far, this pandemic is mild. But even a mild influenza virus kills a lot of people, especially those with other medical problems.

Concerned by the increasing number of child headed households, in particular those headed by orphan girls, including those orphaned by the HIV AIDS pandemic,

And John Doerr and Brook and others got concerned, unclear , and we started looking around at what the world was doing about being prepared for a pandemic. And we saw a lot of gaps.

As the Ebola crisis has demonstrated, passing the hat once a pandemic has taken hold is far too time consuming and carries huge economic and, more important, human costs.

Concerned by the increasing number of child headed households, in particular those headed by orphan girls, including those orphaned by the HIV AIDS pandemic,

LG For a long time, researchers in emerging diseases were kind of dismissive of the pandemic flu threat on the grounds that back in 1918 they didn't have antibiotics.

Concerned also by the increasing number of child headed households particularly orphan girls, including those orphaned by the HIV AIDS pandemic,

Worse, they can have a cascading effect, with, say, a pandemic or cyber attack provoking a financial or political crisis and imposing costs disproportionately on those who can least afford them.

While panic is rare, it is natural for people to need some time to adjust to a new risk and this swine flu pandemic is new to us all.

Virus hunter Nathan Wolfe is outwitting the next pandemic by staying two steps ahead discovering deadly new viruses where they first emerge passing from animals to humans among poor subsistence hunters in Africa before they claim millions of lives.

23. Requests Member States to ensure that, in preventing and addressing HIV AIDS, particular attention is paid to the girl child infected with and affected by HIV AIDS

Deeply concerned at the human immunodeficiency virus acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV AIDS) pandemic, in particular among women and girls, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo,

Noting with grave concern that the majority of new HIV infections occur among young people and that women and girls are disproportionately affected by the pandemic,

This was a huge impact on my mind, because I am a woman and I am a mother, and I hadn't realized that the HIV AIDS pandemic was directly affecting women in such a way.
