Another Pandemic Alert

PAs like Scouts and Guides should always be prepared. News of the new pandemic developing in Mexico and already reported to have hit the US and possibly even the UK could create a problem for businesses. After the last round of Avian Flu, UK Government created a website specifically for advice and updates and it is definitely worth keeping tabs on. See the link below.

It is well worth business leaders thinking through a strategy to protect employees, including having the whole workforce vaccinated (at private expense if necessary), ahead of it becoming a national emergency.

Worrying times but I try not to get caught up in the media sensationalism. I worry as a mother but also from a PA point of view - my employer has conferences in Europe, South Africa and the U.S. all within the next couple of months. Thanks for the link.
