Pandemic Flu Leadership Blog Summit Update

 

# 813

 

Now 5 days into this Internet summit, we have 7 blogs posted, and several hundred comments.   More blogs are to come in the next few days, and many more over the coming weeks. 

 

With the addition of new blogs, older blogs are shuffled off to the second page, so look for the `Next Page' icon at the bottom of the front page to read more.

 

With more than a dozen bloggers, and 5 weeks to run, hopefully we will see 60 blogs or more from community and national leaders, and a good deal of feedback from citizens. 

 

This week has focused on Why We Need To Prepare For A Pandemic,  while next week, we will begin to explore some answers to how we can achieve that goal. 

 

Bloggers who have contributed as of this writing include:

 

Secretary Michael O. Leavitt   HHS

Greg Dworkin M.D.  of  Founding Editor of Flu Wiki

Pierre Omidyar   Founder & Chairman of eBay

Nedra Weinreich   President and Founder of Weinreich Communications

Rebecca Patton    President American Nurses Association

Albert Ruesga  Founding Editor  White Courtesy Telephone

 

And my own humble entry, under my real name Michael Coston (aka Fla_Medic).

 

While the discourse has been passionate at times, it has been sane, and respectful.  We are off to a good start, but we need your participation, and your thoughts.  

 

I've placed a perma-link to the event at the top of my sidebar.  You can go directly to the first page of the summit simply by clicking it. 

 

Please take the time to visit often and make your views known. 

 

This is a bold experiment by the HHS, and one we should all partake in.
