WHO pandemic influenza draft protocol for rapid response and containment

20 page pdf document. A "must read" in my opinion. The (alarmed) tone suggests there is not too much time left to prep with food, water, etc.

Topics covered:
"pandemic may be immanent"
birdflu is more virulent and widespread than physicians thought
tamiflu dosing and duration of treatment underestimated
vaccine takes 6 months but will take multiple waves of birdflu before there's enough to make a difference in human populations
detection parameters
containment and why that seems pretty futile

I looked for this last week. They released it at the last moment on Friday as far as I can tell.
