FluTrackers did not receive an earlier message so I do not know why the above message is an "update".

Also - so only US citizens can attend...does this mean Helen Branswell (a Canadian citizen) - who is a leading public health journalist - could not attend if she was in Atlanta? Or Jason Gale (Australian)?

What is going on here?
 
I am not attending. Not enough notice and I do not like the US citizens only policy. I will read about it somewhere else.
