Influenza Pandemic Viruses
Requirements:
– A new influenza A subtype that can infect humans
AND
– Causes serious illness
AND
– Spreads easily from human-to-human
H5N1 meets the first two prerequisites,
but not the last
Next pandemic virus may or may not be due to a
variation of current H5N1 virus
Update:
H5N1 in Humans – 2003-2006
• As of October 31, 2006: 256 cases, 152 deaths (~60%)
– Ten countries
• Sporadic, with occasional clusters
• Most had close contact with sick poultry
• Few cases of probable, limited human-to-human
transmission
• All lived in countries with poultry outbreaks
Update
As of 10/31/06: 256 cases; 152 deaths; most poultry related

What we don’t know … about
the next pandemic
• When will it occur?
• Which virus will cause it, H5N1 or another?
• Who will be most at risk (Elderly and infants?
Other?)
• How severe an illness will it cause?
• Will there be multiple waves?
• Will antiviral medication work?
• How long until we have a vaccine?
• What are the best control measures?

Thinking Through
Control Measures
Influenza Transmission
Facemasks, cough etiquette
Viruses:
Cleaning, handwashing
Leave original host
Survive in transit
Social distance, cohorting
Facemasks, handwashing
Vaccination
Delivered to a susceptible host
Reach a susceptible part of the host
Escape host defenses
Multiply and cause illness
Potential Tools in Our Toolbox
• Our best countermeasure – vaccine – will probably be
unavailable during the first wave of a pandemic
• Antiviral treatment may improve outcomes but will have
only modest effects on transmission
• Antiviral prophylaxis may have more substantial effects
on reducing transmission
• Infection control and social distancing should reduce
transmission, but strategy requires clarification


Close or alter high risk transmission environments e.g.
schools, daycare centers if supported by epidemiology
Cancel large public gatherings (concerts, theaters)
Minimize other exposures (market, church, public transit)
Encourage ill and exposed to stay home (I & Q)
Worksite adaptations (e.g., telecommuting, etc.)
Scaling back transport services (holiday schedule)
Consider additional community measures


COOP to minimize economic impact
Surgical masks, barrier precautions, hand hygiene

Conclusions
• Models suggest that partially effective interventions,
when used in a layered manner, may be highly effective
in controlling the spread of influenza in a community.
• Mitigation strategies appear to be most effective when
implemented in a uniform manner early in an outbreak.
• When used as part of a layered strategy, models suggest
that social distancing measures can have a significant
impact on disease transmission, even if one assumes
low rates of compliance and effectiveness.
What are limits of this data?
• Observational data from 1918; data
incomplete; cannot link cause and effect
• Modeling impact of interventions useful, but
– Doesn’t yet incorporate people’s behavioral
responses to flu itself or to our interventions
– Doesn’t incorporate secondary consequences of
interventions (e.g., effects of school closure on
education, workforce, etc.)
• Does help shape discussion.
Community Mitigation Strategies Carry
Consequences That Should Be Anticipated and
Incorporated into Pandemic Planning
• Economic impact and potential disruption of services due to
absenteeism
• Issues associated with sequestration of children
• Home-based care
• Disproportionate impact on certain populations
• Administration of antiviral medications
– As treatment without rapid diagnostics
– As prophylaxis to household contacts of ill persons
These and other consequences may occur in the absence of
community-wide interventions, as a result of spontaneous
action by the public.

Macroeconomic Analysis
• Preliminary macroeconomic analyses of the impact of
community-wide interventions have been performed,
using several economic models
• These models predict supply-side impacts that range
from a decrease in overall economic impact as a result
of community-wide interventions, to a modest increase in
impact
• These estimates do not incorporate the costs associated
with lives lost during a severe pandemic
• If an economic value is assigned to lives lost during a
severe pandemic, community-wide interventions result in
a 5-10 fold decrease in overall cost
A Targeted and Layered
Approach
So, Recent Analyses Suggest That Community
Actions May Significantly Reduce Illness and
Death Before Vaccine is Available
Early and uniform implementation of such measures as:
•
•
•
•
School closure
Keeping kids and teens at home
Social distancing at work and in the community
Encouraging voluntary home isolation by ill individuals and
voluntary home quarantine by their household contacts
• Treating the ill and providing targeted antiviral prophylaxis
to household contacts
• Implementing measures early and in a coordinated way
A Layered Approach

Things to consider in choosing
strategies
• Disease severity
• Information on the disease (e.g., are there high risk
subgroups? How effective are antivirals? etc.)
• Ability to practically implement the control measure
• Public acceptability of the control measure
• Secondary impacts of the measure—are we doing
more harm than good?
• What should be implemented by communities and
what centrally? Is a common approach important?
• Ethical considerations
What Can Communities Do Now?
• Education of leadership about the need for
cross-sectoral planning
• Engagement of non-health communities:
education, private sector, labor, faith
communities, NGO’s, the public
• Development of Community-wide plans
• Scenario-based discussions of
implementation
• Plan how to support and protect staff
What does this take?
