    03:50 Osterhaus,
    we don't know what the risk is, how big the risk is
    but we do know that if it happens it may be devastating
    very unpredictable
    invest in pandemic preparedness
    07:20 Webster, worries about H5,H7,H9
    10:33 Heilman
    Webster: we don't know the source
    Osterhaus: from poultry
    15:00 poultry markets may reopen
    16:00 Heilman concerned about H7N9--> US-poultry
    17:50 Osterhaus , wild birds --> Europe, seasonal
    19:20 what preparations, Heilman antivirals, including phase3
    some vaccine for testing
    24:00 poultry vaccine risky
    25:30 2009 first pandemic where we had vaccine
    need vaccine for the whole world
    27:20 univeral vax, Heilman can protect, practicable
    recent data
    30:00 why China, Webster : pigs,quail , aquatic birds-->humans , don't vaccinate birds
    32:00 China so big
    35:00 China very cooperative:, but was not in H5
    36:00 Osterhaus pro chicken vax
    Webster: H9N2 most dangerous, BDesh
    38:30 Osterhaus let's predict so it won't happen
    handful mutations needed
    42:00 dual use, Osterhaus:nature biggest danger, terrorists unlikely
    44:00 Webster: nature is the ultimate bioterrorist

      now came out the paper co-authored by Webster about
      transmissibility of H7N9 in ferrets

      I would assume that when Webster makes such a strong statement
      about H9N2 as in the video above, then he has some similar (secret)
      data about H9N2 to support this
      I'm interested in expert panflu damage estimates
