29 What is Pandemic? En-demic epi-demic pan-demic 29

30 What is Pandemic Influenza? When a virus derived from animals such as birds with an influenza virus enters the world of humans and acquires the ability for human to human transmission, Since humans do not have immunity against this new type of virus, - it would lead to a global pandemic, and - could result in severe virulence in individuals because of the lack of immunity (resistance) Causing major health damage (patients, severely ill patients and deaths), secondary impacts on social activities and functions, causing social stagnation and decline 30

31 Estimated Scales and Patient Numbers Inpatients: million Deaths : million The pandemic influenza control action plan estimate following the scale of the damage: (Reference) Pandemic year Known as Virus type Number of deaths Spanish Influenza H1N1 40 million Asian Influenza H2N2 2 million Hong Kong Influenza H3N2 1 million 31

32 Patient number Conceptual Illustration of Effects of Actions (According to the following policies as national crisis management) 1. To contain the range of infection as far as possible while minimizing health damage 2. Not to allow escalation into collapse of the society or economy To build a clear framework for speedy actions Peak delayed Actions not taken Actions taken Peak patient number reduced Stronger care framework Capacity for care provision Securing the minimum society infrastructure Time 32
