This commentary argues that 100 years after the deadly Spanish flu, the public health emergency community's responses to much more limited pandemics and outbreaks demonstrate a critical shortage of personnel and resources. Rather than relying on nonpharmaceutical interventions, such as quarantine, the United States must reorder its health priorities to ensure adequate preparation for a large-scale pandemic.
本评论认为,在致命的西班牙流感爆发 100 年后,公共卫生应急界对规模小得多的大流行病和疫情的应对表明,人员和资源严重短缺。美国不能再依赖非药物干预措施,如隔离,而必须重新调整其卫生重点,确保为大规模大流行做好充分准备。
