Reminder On Today’s Flu Summit

 


# 3462

 

 

The Pandemic Flu Summit will begin at 8:30 this morning, and a little over 5 hours of it will be broadcast live over the Internet.  Additional video from some of the breakout sessions may become available over the next week or so.

 

Today I’ll be spending most of my time watching the proceedings, and so I may not be updating this blog much during the morning and afternoon broadcasts.

 

If you aren’t able to watch the video live, it will be archived online for later viewing.  You can also follow the summit on Twitter via @FluGov with guest tweeter  @lostonroute66 giving the play-by-play.

 

I’ll probably be tweeting a bit myself.    To zone in on these summit related messages search on #09fs.
