How to avoid germs at the #2012Olympics by @JATetro http://t.co/c7r5mQpP #London2012 The Games represent a unique opportunity for the world to share its germs and for public health officials to find a way to stem the tide of infection. The fear of germs has recently been raised to a level not seen since the days of SARS or the pandemic flu. It's now a matter of time to see whether the fears will be realized or fade away as the athletic achievements take over. Link - Trackbacks

Darpa’s Flu Fighters Ramp Up Veggie-Based Vaccines http://t.co/cNi8WqX6 In the event of a global and highly lethal flu pandemic, we'll need to churn out millions of vaccines as soon as humanely possible. Not easy to do considering a true vaccine can't be developed until the pandemic has already arrived. So it's not surprising the military wants better vaccines that can be produced at blazing speed. Preferably ones it can grow. Link - Trackbacks

Rob Long : Airports Make Me Sick http://t.co/n98UtgFX And you, too.  From MIT News: Public health crises of the past decade — such as the 2003 SARS outbreak, which spread to 37 countries and caused about 1,000 deaths, and the 2009 H1N1 flu pandemic that killed about 300,000 people worldwide — have heightened awareness that new viruses or bacteria could spread quickly across the globe, aided by air travel. Here's what flight traffic to and from the US looks like: And it all comes down to filthy airports filled with coughing,... Link - Trackbacks

Big Data In 2020: More Info, More Problems | Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project http://t.co/0utDEwEW Big data--which powers everything from Netflix recommendations to fraud alerts--is changing the way we live. But is that a good thing? In the latest Pew Internet/Elon University survey, 53% of a handpicked group of “Internet experts, observers and stakeholders“ said big data would produce an overall positive effect by the year 2020. Meanwhile, 39% said it would have an overall negative effect (8% didn’t answer). Many who said big data would have a positive influence on the future pointed to its potential to solve diverse problems. "There is value to be found in this data, value in our newfound publicness,” argued Jeff Jarvis, the author of What Would Google Do?. “Google's founders have urged government regulators not to require them to quickly delete searches because, in their patterns and anomalies, they have found the ability to track the outbreak of the flu before health officials could and they believe that by similarly tracking a pandemic, millions of lives could be saved.” [...] Prof. Janna Anderson, an author of the report, tells Fast Company that the statistical split of positive and negative outlooks isn’t that important. Though respondents were forced to pick sides, many of them said that they thought the future of big data would likely have both positive and negative elements. Plus, she says, a ruling on the future of big data isn’t the point of the survey. “People generally tend to build the future according to what opportunities they see ahead,” Anderson says.“[The survey] allows a lot of issues to be addressed now in positive ways that can build a better future.” Link - Trackbacks
