Given the awareness of the potential implications of Swine Flu, we offer resources for your review/information. Firstly, info from CNN, which is a great site kept current with links to various other sites. Secondly, info from the ISSA (International Sanitary Supply Association) is also provided. Included are links that cover the background, general info, role of personal hygiene, etc. Also, below are documents which provide specific helpful info on the cleaning and disinfection of facilities. The first link is a short note dealing with the Swine Flu; the second is an article dealing with SuperBugs in general and how to disinfect and decontaminate facilities. There is also a Business/Organization Pandemic/Epidemic Planning Checklist.

CNN: H1N1 Indepth Coverage

Because of its recent spread and toll in Mexico City, Mexico, and worldwide, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization are concerned that the swine flu that hit there could be a new, stronger strain of the virus. Accordingly, the U.S. government declared a public health emergency yesterday in response to the swine flu outbreak.

With the threat of a swine flu pandemic and cleaning's role in pandemic preparation, ISSA has compiled the following resources for members to consider.

Business Pandemic/Epidemic Planning Checklist

* * * * * * * * * * * *

As we watch the progression of the H1N1 Flu, now being commonly referred to as the Human Swine Flu, we need to remember that the average flu kills 50,000 people, and the H1N1 Flu is not average. In fact, it seems to attack the healthiest people, causing their extremely healthy immune systems to over-react. It is this over-reaction that causes the pneumonia-like condition that causes death.

The media has softened on their coverage lately, but that does not mean this threat is over. Not at all. Keep in mind that with the miracle of modern media and the internet, we have been kept very aware of this emerging threat, much sooner than we would have been just 20 years ago. Back then, the general public probably wouldn't even know about it yet.

Also, keep in mind that the 1918 Pandemic hit it in three waves, not one, ultimately taking between 50 million to 100 million lives. We have to stay on top of this.

Here are some excellent websites that allow us to closely track this outbreak.

The first one is HealthMap.com, a global disease alert map pinpointing each H1N1 Flu outbreak location, with a brief description of the event.

http://healthmap.org/swineflu

The CDC has been providing daily press briefings. The MP3 audio and transcripts will keep you very current.

http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/press/

Another very interesting site is PandemicFlu.gov. The site acts as a clearing house for current information on H1N1 from the CDC, the World Health Organization (WHO), the FDA, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and others. Very interesting site.

http://www.pandemicflu.gov/

Also, the World Health Organization (WHO) is providing daily updates on their site

http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/index.htm

The Public Health Agency of Canada's site provides daily updates, also. Very specific to the Canadian threat.

http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/alert-alerte/swine_200904-eng.php

www.recombinomics.com Committed to the study of recombination as the driver of rapid molecular evolution and the emergence of novel infectious agents.

There are literally thousands of website pages that provide information on H1N1 and many appear very alert to the ever-present threat of even newer pathogenic threats

We suggest book-marking key sites and checking them often. Even when this threat is past, we need to stay alert and be prepared for the next biological threat that might be just over the horizon. After all, our customers, our communities and our own families are counting on us to be the front line of defense.
