Pandemic Defined
• Adjective:– 1: epidemic over a wide geographical area; “a pandemic
outbreak of malaria”– 2: existing everywhere; "pandemic fear of nuclear war"
• Noun: an epidemic that is geographically widespread; occurring throughout a region or even throughout the world

Pandemic Influenza
• Global outbreak caused by new subtype A virus (antigenic shift) that is transmitted to humans:– to which humans have no immunity– high lethality– easy person-to-person transmission– pandemic age shift (W shaped mortality curve)

Pandemic Influenza History
• Expect 3-4 pandemics per century; one every 10-50 years– 1918-19, Spanish flu (H1N1)
• 40-50 million deaths• 30-35% infected• 1%-2% mortality, ages 20-40 years highest % deaths (10%-20%)
– 1957-58, Asian flu (H2N2)• 70,000 excess deaths, U.S.• 40% deaths under age 65• avian + human flu virus combo
– 1968-69, Hong Kong flu (H3N2)• 34,000 excess deaths, U.S.• 1/6th case fatality rate of 1918-19• avian + human flu virus combo• still circulating and in current vaccines

• Active virus circulation in U.S.• Slight increase in activity• H1N1 dominant circulating virus worldwide
Current Status

H1N1 Clinical Characteristics
• Typical flu symptoms– sudden onset– 1-4 days (average = 2 day) incubation– fever >101, headache, tired, aches, cough, sore throat,
runny nose– atypical presentations
• ~Early virus epidemiology – attack rate ~30%– mortality 0.2-0.5% (similar to pandemics of 1957 and 1968)– spreads very easily– attack rate in children and teens about 2X adults – less than 5% of cases in adults over 50

Business Impact
• Mortality review– Regular flu: <0.1 % = 1 death/1,000 cases.– H1N1 flu: 0.2-0.5% = 2-5 deaths/1,000 cases– Pandemic flu 1918: est. 2% = 20/1,000 = 1 death/50 cases– SARS: 10% =100 death/1,000 cases
• Absence review– 30%-35% illness rate for pandemic flu– Add 15%-20% for those not yet ill who will stay home, or
who will be caring for or covering for ill family members – Easy to imagine 50% of workforce out if two peaks come
together

Mitigation Strategies
• Use basic public health tools initially:– Communicate to employees
on “infection avoidance.”• Wash your hands. • Cover your cough.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. – Stay home/go home if sick.– Adopt social distancing (avoid mass gatherings: café,
fitness, face-to-face meetings, travel).

Mitigation Strategies
– Decreasing environmental viral load.– Prepare for vaccine availability.
• High-risk groups first (pregnant, age 6m-24y, caretakers of children<6m, adults>24 with chronic diseases)
• Consider dependent vaccination also. – Business continuation plans linked to absence
levels • Identify and protect essential employee groups.
