Federal Funding for Health Security in FY2018
Health Security Volume 15, Number 4, 2017 ª Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. DOI: 10.1089/hs.2017.0047 Federal Funding for Health Security in FY2018 Crystal Watson, Matthew Watson, and Tara Kirk Sell This article is the latest in an annual series analyzing federal funding for health security programs. It examines proposed funding in the President’s Budget Request for FY2018 and provides updated amounts for FY2017 and actual funding for FY2010 through FY2016. The proposed FY2018 budget for health security–related programs represents a significant decrease in funding from prior years and previous administrations. In total, the President’s proposed FY2018 budget includes $12.45 billion for health security–related programs, an estimated decrease in funding of $1.25 billion, or 9%, from the estimated $13.71 billion in FY2017 and an 11% decrease from the FY2016 actual funding level of $13.99 billion. Most FY2018 health security funding ($6.67 billion, 54%) would go to programs with multiple-hazard and preparedness goals and missions, representing a 14% decrease in this funding compared to FY2017. Radiological and nuclear security programs would receive 20% ($2.48 billion) of all health security funding, a slight decrease of 2% from the prior year. Biosecurity programs would be funded at $1.53 billion (12% of health security funding) in FY2018, a decrease of 6% compared to FY2017. Chemical security programs would represent 3% ($389.7 million) of all health security funding in FY2018, a 9% decrease from the prior year. Finally, 11% of health security funding ($1.39 billion) would be dedicated to pandemic influenza and emerging infectious diseases programs, the only category of funding to see an increase (3%) above FY2017. -

The incidence of hospital-acquired infections have been reduced with the employment of strict infection control measures,7 and the international public health community remain on high alert for new introductions. In 2015, South Korea saw the largest outbreak of MERS- CoV outside of the Eastern Mediterranean with 186 confirmed cases and 38 deaths.7 New cases of MERS-CoV infection continue to be reported mostly from the Eastern Mediterranean. -

IHP News 559 : “Public Enemy Number One”
IHP news 559 : “Public enemy number one” ( 14 February 2020) The weekly International Health Policies (IHP) newsletter is an initiative of the Health Policy unit at the Institute of Tropical Medicine in Antwerp, Belgium. Dear Colleagues, I know, I know, it’s Valentine today, so I probably shouldn’t talk about the eerily sounding “Covid- 19” in this short intro, let alone about the even more dreaded “P word” but WHO and dr. Tedros were clearly in no mood for Valentine earlier this week, when describing the virus as “a global threat, potentially worse than terrorism”. “The world must wake up and consider this enemy virus as public enemy number one,” Tedros said. With world media and public opinion going berserk all around the world for a few weeks now, I think that shouldn’t be too much of a problem. The other part of his message, however, that it’s about "solidarity, solidarity and solidarity", might prove much harder in the weeks and months to come, given how Sapiens is wired. When thinking of pandemics, in this visual culture of ours, we probably all have (subconsciously or not) a particular movie in mind when considering some of the most dire scenarios. For some of you, that might be “Contagion”, for me, it’s no doubt “Twelve Monkeys” (1995), with among others, Bruce Willis, a stunning Madeleine Stowe and a young Brad Pitt. Back in the innocent ‘90s, it all felt a bit surreal, even the obligatory rogue scientist popping up towards the end. But what a great movie! Now in the year 2020, with the scary ongoing public health experiment (aka ‘the coronavirus cruise ship quarantines’), occasionally I get the feeling that “Twelve Monkeys” is being mixed up with “the Poseidon Adventure” . -
Alex Haslam Is a Social Psychologist and an Australian Laureate Fellow at the University of Queensland, Australia
Alex Haslam is a social psychologist and an Australian Laureate Fellow at the University of Queensland, Australia. He is also a Senior Fellow of CIFAR’s Social Interactions, Identity & Well-Being program. His work examines how social identities and group memberships influence our interactions with others. He researches such questions as: How does belonging to groups and organizations shape the way we think, feel and behave? And how do individuals and groups in turn shape the nature of organizations and society? Dr. Haslam approaches these questions by identifying and explaining how people’s membership in groups and teams affects a range of social and organizational processes including stereotyping and prejudice, leadership and motivation, communication and decision-making, and stress and mental health. Dr Haslam is on the editorial board of seven international journals, including Scientific American Mind. He has published and edited 11 books on social and organizational psychology including the seminal book The Social Cure: Identity, Health and Well-being. His work has received numerous honours including the British Psychology Society's Award for Excellence in the Teaching of Psychology, and a National Teaching Fellowship from the Higher Education Academy. John Berry is a cross-cultural psychologist, and a member of CIFAR Advisory Board for the Social Interactions, Identity, & Well-being program. His research involves two domains. First is the examination of how individual behaviour is developed and displayed in different cultural contexts; much of the work has been with Indigenous Peoples in Canada, Africa and Asia. Second is research with immigrant and ethnocultural groups who are settled into plural societies in many parts of the world. -
Recommendations for the Coming COVID-19 Commission
Recommendations for the Coming COVID-19 Commission By a Pandemic-Response Subgroup of Former Members of President Obama’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology September 21, 2020 Introduction The United States confronted a succession of biological threats over the first two decades of the twenty-first century. These included the 2001 anthrax attacks, the 2002-2004 SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV-1) pandemic, the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic, the 2012 MERS-CoV coronavirus epidemic in the Mideast, the 2014 Ebola outbreak in Africa, and the 2015-2016 mosquito-borne Zika virus epidemic in the Americas. This pace of emerging disease outbreaks had been anticipated by leading microbiologists and epidemiologists in the late twentieth century.1 In 2004, the National Intelligence Council in its report Mapping the Global Future, noted that “Some experts believe it is only a matter of time before a new pandemic appears, such as the 1918–1919 influenza virus ... Such a pandemic… would be devastating and could spread rapidly throughout the world.”2 In 2008, a careful accounting catalogued the emergence of 335 infectious diseases into humans between 1940 and 2004.3 While a small number of these spread widely or even became established (for example, the HIV virus that causes AIDS), nearly all subsided quickly. But it was clear to microbiologists that the threat was ever-present, and likely increasing. The executive branch first put a national strategy in place for pandemic disease outbreak surveillance and response with Presidential Decision Directive PDD NSTC-7, issued by President Clinton in 1996.4 Since then there has been a series of U.S.
