Speaker Name(s): Pete A. Shult, Ph.D., Director, Communicable Disease Division and Emergency Laboratory Response, Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene
Description: While the current H1N1 (swine-origin) influenza outbreak doesn’t appear to be as serious as first thought, what makes flu viruses so fascinating and frustrating is our inability to predict exactly what they’ll do next. Join WSLH Communicable Disease Division Director Dr. Pete Shult for a recap of the WSLH’s and the State’s response to the current outbreak (WI is #1 in cases because we’ve tested more patients) and a look into the future for what might happen this fall.
