Yesterday's publication of Dr. Michael Osterholm's essay from the CIDRAP Business Source called The reality of pandemic planning: I've hit the wall but I'm not giving up has inspired a good deal of comment and conversation throughout Flublogia.
It would be hard to find a more respected voice in pandemic policy matters than Dr. Osterholm. His frustrations mirrors the frustrations nearly all of us in Flublogia have felt in getting pandemic preparedness on the front burner in our society.
SophiaZoe, editor of A Pandemic Chronicle (and all around good egg), has written a thoughtful response. While I would echo many of her sentiments, she undoubtedly has expressed them better than I could.
