perhaps talking to the high-risk groups in advance of any pandemics may give them time to prepare in advance #fluscenario

@KGBurgess9 @DundeePublicH exporting in terms of income and importing in terms of resources #fluscenario

@KGBurgess9 @DundeePublicH yeah and this could have serious consequences for countries dependant on exporting goods #fluscenario

#fluscenario @DavidAl61586184 @WClackett Is that a wise thing to say?

@RebeccaShaw3 are you copying my ideas ? :O

@niamh__mcmahon yeah small public health programmes in the workplace may also be useful #fluscenario

@niamh__mcmahon @RebeccaShaw3 @TMelaugh elderly patients and very young children too #fluscenario

are there any areas of the hospital which could be converted into intensive care at short notice? post-op possibly? #fluscenario

@RebeccaShaw3 Pregnant women, or those with chronic respiratory problems would be examples of those in the high risk category #fluscenario

Identifying patients with known influenza risk conditions and treating these primarily will reduce occupancy of intensive care #fluscenario

@niamh__mcmahon @RebeccaShaw3 could we possibly ask companies to encourage work from home, where feasible? #fluscenario

@niamh__mcmahon @RebeccaShaw3 could we possibly ask companies to encourage work from home, where feasible?

@PHO_Team @RebeccaShaw3 @KGBurgess9 yes, and what to do if the development of the pandemic means resistance? #fluscenairo

@LouiseCThomsen @KGBurgess9 yes as continued public support is required to deal with the outbreak most effectively #fluscenario

@LouiseCThomsen @KGBurgess9 yes, but if panic is the cost of saving lifes, so be it .. #fluscenario

@PHO_Team @niamh__mcmahon @RebeccaShaw3 cheap controls will be required, simple but effective #fluscenario

@PHO_Team yes, so we must carefully assess what members of the public will attend events - cancelling the higher risk ones #fluscenario

@TMelaugh ie this is where we can no longer specifically link the cases in this area #fluscenario

I think we should cancel public events in specific communities where we have moved out of the assessment stage #fluscenario

I believe healthcare workers should be amongst the priority groups, if we lose too many public health will suffer #fluscenario
