@Erin_dundee Probably too expensive to test so many people. Can assume not many people immune to new strain. #fluscenario

@LauraRBarry @Adam_A_Murray @KCoombs2 @DundeePublicH Dad said I just kept asking him to stop because I didn't want him to die! #fluscenario

@MaaryaDundee This is done each time new strain identified that might be a problem. Snag is lag time for developing it #fluscenario

@MaaryaDundee Already routine practice. Issue with pandemic is that it's a new strain so need to develop vaccine from scratch #fluscenario

@NgOonHui @sunilpowar101 Being looked at. Also working on 'universal' vaccine for highly conserved molecules flu strains share #fluscenario

@NgOonHui @CorrinePotts @DundeePublicH Most of the guidance should work for any flu, apart from vaccines/antivirals. #fluscenario

@sunilpowar101 Takes time to develop vaccine to new strains once idenified. Always have a 'lag' phase to deal with.#fluscenario

@z_douglas16 Only helps if have a vaccine for pandemic strain. Usually a significant lag phase - no use for early prevention #fluscenario

#fluscenario Any thoughts on antivirals? E.g. usefulness vs expense; influence of 'big pharma' in deciding to use them?

@JHouston8888 Good idea - personal stories often have more impact than 'official' advice. #fluscenario

@Claire1607 Hmm - 60 million deaths worldwide in 1918 pandemic might make her change her mind! #fluscenario
