This week during 18-22 May 2009, a lot of impactual decisions will be taken in Geneva at the Sixty-second World Health Assembly(WHO).
Although this assembly was suppose to focus on many diiferent important issues most of the anticipated Agenda concerns will probably be postponed until 2010.
As stated in a Medical Resources in France;
Naturally, discussions will centre on the influenza A (H1NI) epidemic. The threat is of such concern that it has been decided to shorten the meeting from 9 to 4 days so that the Health Ministers of the 193 Member States are absent for as short a time as possible, and therefore be better able to coordinate efforts to combat flu. Discussions will therefore take place from 18th to 22nd of May.
What does the average citizens must understand and do with of all these informations?
I will try to guide you in understanding the significance and the consequences of this Exceptionnal Gathering.

In the last two weeks many leaders ahead of the Parade had a lot to ponder upon, mainly ;
1- Corroboration on the genetic identity of this new Swine-Avian-Human new virus identify as H1N1.
2- Monitoring the spread of this virus via Humans,
• Locally in mass Gathering and its Regional spread outside Urban areas,
• International spreading via Transports
• The capacity of the virus to sustain transmission within others Regions.
3- Identify in Health Care Facilities the symptoms and Treatments on confirmed cases.

• National Securities Responses.
Up to now, we can see that this new virus Potentiality has a Trail of its own.
These specific Medical Matter has always been a National Security Interest, mainly Economical ones at the beginning now it has become a National Security Matter... as expected many years ago.
So in this Diary I will do my best to present what can be done and what is done on;
- National Security Level
- Medical Mitigation and Management Level
- Community and Individual Levels
As you will find out, on all these three levels a lot of preparations has been done, it is now time for citizens to take knowledge of all this and act accordingly because we are just at the beginning of an event that will become more and more important for all of us individually, whatever country we live in from now on.
NOTA: the Purpose of this Diary is to present the hard work done for years at all three levels and to help us in making bold and appropriate decisions.
When we know what we are confront with, we are capable of responding with Pertinence, and as you will find out, the more Individuals and Communities will respond adequately to this new Context, the more we will reduce morbidity and mortality.
