Swine Flu Outbreak

Members of the MRC Centre for Outbreak Analysis and Modelling at Imperial College London, led by Centre Director Professor Neil Ferguson, are closely monitoring the current swine-flu outbreak and recognize the potential for a pandemic situation. At this time there are too many unknowns to make robust predictions about the trajectory of the outbreak and as such, Centre efforts are focused on modeling and planning for a wide range of possible scenarios. We are in consultation with global authorities to assist with the refinement of planning and updates in policy as more evidence becomes available.
