Santa Clara Teams with Seattle to Offer National Bird Flu Plan

Santa Clara, Calif. (KCBS) -- Health officials in Santa Clara County are teaming up with doctors in Seattle to create a national bird-flu plan to be used by hospitals across the country.

After looking at bird flu plans in communities across the country, the National Association of County and City Health Officials identified Santa Clara County and King County in Washington State as having the most advanced plans to date.

"Hopefully we'll be a model that others can then use across the country, and there are 3,000 local health departments, to begin the process so hopefully we don't have to waste valuable resources to reinvent the wheel," Public Health Officer Dr. Marty Fenstersheib told KCBS Reporter Matt Bigler.

Mental Health Director for Santa Clara County, Dr. Nancy Pena, said no other plan they put together has relied more on self care.

"So many people will be out of commission. They'll be ill or they'll have to stay home and take care of family. So, we really want people do be equipped to take care of themselves," said Pena.

The pandemic plan already is in writing. Officials said the final step is putting it into action.

Finally, the incredibly dense begin to wake up.
The joke here is that New Zealand and the UK had excellent plans available 12 months ago. But, if it isn't invented here, it's worthless.

Contemptuous? Sorry, it's hard to abide anything happening at the last moment of opportunity.

Is there a chance that 99% of those other hospitals and counties will not be able to prepare in time or find the PPE they need to order or whatever else they need?

Oh, we're not supposed to affix blame. These are bureaucrats; I'm supposed to appreciate that they exist.

Where's a team to create 2 or 3 versions of this plan for the smaller and poorer regions?

That idea may be to avante garde for those folks. We'll have to wait for the next pandemic.

Shame on them. They are barely able to think their way out of paperbags.
