About me
I am a former Paramedic (EMT-II) and EMS in-service training instructor with a strong interest in emerging infectious diseases, public health issues, and individual and community preparedness. I've been blogging on these issues since 2005, and have 3700+ essays online. I was selected to be part of the HHS's Pandemic Leadership Blog in 2007, and have been invited to participate in a couple of CDC/HHS tabletop exercises. I write primarily on influenza news and research, but also write about other emerging infectious diseases as well; Lyme, Hendra, Yersinia, West Nile, etc.
