It is still quite early in our influenza season and we expect activity to pick up in the coming weeks. It is definitely not too late to get your flu shot if you have not received one. |
It just points out the need for more information. What really is critical is understanding whether the way we are using the drugs contributes to that (resistance). |
Right now, we just don't know. |
This has never been attempted before. There is a very good chance that we will fail and that we will not be able to stop it. |
We have to monitor the situation to see whether resistance becomes a big problem or not. |
We will develop a roster of people who have received a great deal of training on containment procedures. |
We're speculating on something I don't know the answer to. We just don't know that, because we haven't established that there is that transmission. But it is unlikely that you would be standing around a chicken and get the influenza virus that way. |
We've discussed how it's always likely there's some genetic component going on. |
