Governments and Drug Companies: Struggle to Prepare for Fall 2009 H1N1- 16 June 2009
"H1N1 arrival in the US exposed gaps in the supply chain that delivers medication, masks, etc...experience with swine flu underscored...(those) responsible for corraling dangerous germs often have no way of assuring...companies have stocks sufficient to supply demand..."

"Some hospitals said shelves usually brimming with surgical masks, used to slow the virus' transmission, turned barren - and suppliers proved unable to replenish supplies in the standard 24-hour timeframe. Hospitals sometimes found themselves in competition with each other for supply reinforcements, and there were instances when departments within the same medical center raced to get their orders in first."

So many factors at play. Supply and demand. Economics. Manufacturers risk in today's worldwide economic crisis. Which countries, which hospitals, which populations first. How to secure equitable supplies for those areas with need/ without resources. Will this pandemic play out according to previous pandemic expectations. Or is this a beast with a new name/ new rules.
