News and current affairs
Like swine flu, crony capitalism has migrated from corrupt Third World countries to America, once the citadel of sound public and private governance.
But AIDS jumped from monkeys and several types of flu jumped from swine.
But when the United States caught the financial flu, others followed.
We are facing many crises - food, energy, recession, and pandemic flu - occurring all at once.
Every winter, millions of people around the world suffering from flu-like illnesses visit their doctor.
Some patients actually are infected with flu; others have colds or other respiratory infections, many of which also peak in the winter.
If even a few SARS cases are present among the millions of flu-like cases that will appear this autumn, it will be critical to identify and isolate them to prevent a repeat of the epidemic that scourged China earlier this year.
But among the vast number of flu and other cases, finding these cases will be difficult.
Paradoxically, the best way for health authorities to prepare for a possible return of SARS this winter is to make special efforts to reduce the spread of flu and speed its diagnosis.
SARS is difficult to diagnose definitively, and during flu season, it will be much easier to miss a case of SARS.
The dilemma is that playing it safe--by treating every flu-like illness with the precautions appropriate for SARS--would present an enormous logistical, operational and financial burden to health care systems.
We don't have vaccines or rapid tests for SARS, but we do have them for flu.
Even assuming the best-case scenario--that SARS is eliminated by the end of this year--increased flu vaccination and better availability of diagnostics will benefit millions of people worldwide.
Broader use of rapid diagnostics will permit more effective treatment for flu cases at risk of developing serious complications.
