WASHINGTON House official said To keep the 1 8 million federal workers healthy and productive through a pandemic the Bush administration would tap into its secure stash of medicines cancel large gathenngs encourage schools to close and shift air traffic controllers to the busier hubs - probably where flu had not )et struck Retired federal employees would be summoned back to work and National Guard troops could be dispatched to cities facing possible insurrection said Teffrey Runge chief medical officer at the Department of Homeland Secunty The administration hopes to help contain the first cases by rushing in medical teams and supplies If theie is a small outbreak in a country it may behoove us to introduce trav el restrictions Runge said to help stamp out that spark However even an effective containment effort will merely postpone the inevitable said Ellen Embiey deputy assistant secretary for force health preparedness at the Pentagon Unfortunately we believe the forest fire will burn before we aie able to contain it overseas and it will arnve on our shores in multiple locations she said As Katrina illustrated a central issue would be who is ultimately m charge and how the agencies will be coordinated said former assistant surgeon POST President George W Bush is expected to soon approve a national pandemic influenza response plan that identities more than 300 specific tasks for federal agencies from determining which front line workers should be the first vaccinated to c'panding Internet capacity to handle what would liKely be a flood of people woilng fiom then home computers The Treasury Department is poised to sign agreements with other nations to pioduee currency if U S mints caimot operate The Pentagon anticipating difficulties acquiring supplies fiom the Far East is considenng stockpiling millions of latex gloves And the Department of Veteinns Affairs has developed a drive through medical exam to quickly assess patients w ho suspect they have been infected The document is the first attempt to spell out in some detail how the government would detect and respond to an oulbieak and continue functioning through what could be an 18 month crisis which m a worst case scenario could kill 1 9 million Americans Bush was bnefed on a draft of the implementation plan on Maich 17 and he is expected to approve it within the week but it continues to evolve said several administration officials who have been woiking on it After the ineffectual lesponse to Hurricane Katnna the White House is eager to show it can manage the medical security and Any economic fallout of a major outbreak In response to questions posed to several federal agencies White House officials offered a briefing on the near final version of its 240 page plan When it is issued officials intend to announce several vaccine manufacturing contracts to jump start an industry that has declined in the past few decades The background briefing and on the record interviews with experts m and out of government reveal that some agencies are lar along in preparing for a deadly outbreak Others have yet to resolve basic questions such as who is designated an essential employee and how the agency would cope if that person were out of commission Most of the federal government nght now is as ill prepared as any part of society said Michael Osterholm director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota Osterholm said the administration has made progress but is nowhere near piepared for what he called a worldwide 12 to 18 month Blizzard Many critical decisions remain to be made Administration scientists are debating how much vaccine would be needed to immumze against a new strain of aviamnfluenza and they are weighing data that might alter their strategy on w ho should have pnonty for antiviral drugs such as Tamiflu and Relenza The new analysis published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that instead of giving medicine to first responders and health care workers as currently planned it might be wiser to give the drugs to every person with symptoms and others m the same household said one senior administration official The approach offers some leal hope for communities to put a dent m the amount of illness and death if we go with that strategy a White general Susan Blumenthal The Department of Health and Human Serv ices would take the lead on medical aspects but Homeland Security would have overall authority she said Bush is expected to adopt post Katnna proposals that a new interagency task force coordinate the entire federal response and a high level Disaster Response Group can come resolve disputes among will agencies or states Neither entity has been created The federal government as well as private businesses Mike Leavitt should expect up to 40 percent of its woik force to be out dunng a pandemic said Bruce Gellin director of the National Vaccine Program Office at Health and Human Services Some will be sick or dead others canng for a loved one depressed or staying at home to prevent spread of the virus The problem is you never know which 40 percent will be out he said Much of the federal governments plan relies on quick distribution of medicines and vaccine The Strategic National Stockpile has 5 1 million couises of Tamiflu on hand The goal is to secure 21 million doses of Tamiflu and 4 million doses of Relenza by the end of this year and a total of 51 million by late 2008 Blumenthal the former assistant surgeon general questioned why two years after Congress approved a $5 6 billion BioShield program to develop new drugs and vaccines so little progress has occurred Homeland Secunty s Runge has a different concern One of the scanest thoughts is if this country has successfully developed a vaccine within 6 months of an outbreak or our supply of antivirals is greater there may be a rush into the United States for those things Even if those fears do not matenalize officials have warned the federal preparations only go so far Much is left to states localities and even individuals with the Any commumty that fails to prepare expectation that tire federal government can come to the rescue will be tragically wrong Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt said community that fails to prepare with the expectation that the federal government to the rescue be tragically SUU Night still Tuesday. 10 4 w I.D. y n Slip intt m tt$ fatt A hsh rtahle honth or i at the har and HvseiV h tht lodLa jerks
