Closing schools, canceling large public gatherings, staying away from other people and working from home were some of the control measures discussed today at a public forum in Syracuse on pandemic influenza.
Syracuse was one of four places nationwide chosen by the federal government to listen to citizens? points of view. The other sites were Atlanta, Seattle and Lincoln, Neb.
?This is one of the first times the federal government has come to the citizens to hear their views on when the pandemic influenza comes. We don?t say ?if? anymore, it?s ?when,? ? said Charlotte ?Chuckie? Holstein, executive director of FOCUS Greater Syracuse, the organization responsible for organizing the event.
About 100 people attended the event. The results of the four gatherings will be translated into national guidelines for all municipalities in the United States.
