Smallpox killed more people than all the world’s
wars combine, and Dr. Brilliant was on the team that eradicated this disease
from our plant forever. Dr. Brilliant proposes a three tiered approach to
pandemic prevention. Given his name and track-record we should probably listen. Google
created quicker detection when tracking
key strokes, predicting this year's flu season a full two weeks
before the CDC. Better response time
is being achieved through patient self-reporting, with organizations like http://flunearyou.org/. Better
governance includes the CORDS initiative, creating regional networks at
outbreak hot-spots (http://www.cordsnetwork.org/). Dr. Brilliant is living up to his name.
