Yoshihiro Kawaoka of the University of Wisconsin says the experiments are important for helping scientists understand how new pandemics start, and for designing better flu vaccines.

They need to start finding medicines to fight the infections that folks are getting from surgeries. There are people dying everyday from these infections because there are no medicines that will take care of the infections. They get blood and bladder infections and some end up going to the brain.
