[...] It’s difficult to understand how we can reduce transmission in countries with concurrency. But we must, because we can’t provide treatment to everyone at the poorest levels. It’s impossible. Of those that have received care from PEPFAR, 60 percent are alive after five years. In Sweden, we’ve got 98 percent of patients alive after 10 years. It may not seem like a nice thing to say, but perhaps the money could have been used more effectively. Diabetes, cervical cancer and heart disease are all without international support. Oh, and tuberculosis! Did you see my video on swine flu and tuberculosis? [...]

It would also be useful to compare government expenditures /death for the respective conditions. From my perspective at a local health district, state and federal spending and effort on H1N1 issues were huge. Committment of resources and staff appear to be driven by media and the resultant public preception of the issue, not by the health risk.

Thanks for the video, I will use in our afteraction reports

The seasonal flu kills 500,000 people worldwide each year. The 1918 flu pandemic killed 50-100 MILLION people back when the world’s population was a quarter of what it is today. Swine flu had the potential to be anywhere in between, so it’s on par with tuberculosis, which kills 1.8 million people, of whom 1 in 4 also have HIV.
I’m personally more interested in news about swine flu than about TB, because swine flu is more likely to kill me this year.
