If you want to understand an influenza outbreak, you need to take blood samples from a representative group of the population and check them for antibodies.
If you want to understand why that’s important, you need to listen to an epidemiologist.
I’m not one, but Revere at Effect Measure is.
And today we get a great explanation about what we already know about this flu, and what we hope to learn, from the serological studies that have been done or are underway.
