Economic consequence of Flu pandemic
Economic consequence of Flu pandemichttps://www.schulich.yorku.ca/SSB-Extra/school.nsf/db2703cf4bd7f64d85256fb1005b2de4/5f770cd08026d8ff8525746500606fab/$FILE/Pandemic%20Slides.PDF
i found these slides very informative. imo, 3M will stockpile big quantities of RAMP Flu A and Flu B tests in an effort of preparedness against a pandemic of Flu since most experts think that a Flu pandemic is inevitable now.
It is interesting that experts think a flu pandemic will result in huge supply chain disruptions as absenteeism at the workplace is a big problem. In another report, 3M stated that a pandemic may have small probability but a large impact on economies. Thanks Wyeth for reminding me of these reports.
