CDC prepares for flu pandemic WASHINGTON, Feb. 4 (UPI) -- The Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta is preparing for a flu pandemic with practice "war games" on everything from decision-making to news conferences.
A recent pandemic flu game began with the scenario that a Georgetown University student develops flu symptoms shortly after returning from his home in Indonesia, The Washington Post reported.
The exercise was conducted by a consultant with a $7 million contract to help the CDC plan for pandemic flu, the Post reported.
The next drill is in April, when the CDC will practice what to do if the pandemic flu has reached several states. In May, the war game flu will hit the CDC workforce, the Post said.
A potential real emergency put an early stop to the CDC's simulated emergency Wednesday, half-way through the 24-hour drill, the Post reported.
Icy weather was predicted, and the CDC didn't want its pandemic response team racing on slick roads to a mock emergency. So the pandemic was called off early, the newspaper said.
