Two great Computerworld articles on pandemic preparedness
Two great Computerworld articles on pandemic preparedness
Very good article from Computerworld's Robert Mitchell on pandemic preparedness for IT professionals and why it is important to take the threat seriously.
Computerworld covers a range of technology topics, with a focus on these core areas of IT: Windows, Mobile, Apple/enterprise, Office and productivity suites, collaboration, web browsers and blockchain, as well as relevant information about companies such as Microsoft, Apple and Google.
Preface to the interview with Dr. Osterholm and a somewhat contrarian view (!) from CDC economist Martin Meltzer.
Computerworld blogs cover a wide range of technology topics, including smartphones, tablets, software, security, operating systems, mobile, storage, servers and data centers, and technology companies such as Microsoft, Google and Apple.

Re: Two great Computerworld articles on pandemic preparedness
"the probability of an outbreak this year can?t be predicted with certainty. "
ahh...
I didn't know, that a probability can be "predicted" or even
can be "predicted with certainty".
Do they mean e.g. the probability to win the lottery ?
Everyone will tell the same number, so there is agreement here.
But that doesn't mean that individual probability estimates
of harder predictable events like a pandemic don't exist.
They would differ, sure. But that's no excuse to refuse
telling it.
Meltzer and Osterholm and others could make their language
and communication efforts much more effective by giving
their numbers.
They don't want this. They want to remain unclear. Why ?
