FluPlanner
Estimates the impact of a flu pandemic on your organization in terms of
absenteeism, sickness, and mortality. The software requires you to supply an
Attack Rate (percentage of people who develop symptoms) and Mortality
(percentage of people who will die). For reference , the CDC estimates past
attack rates as 20% (seasonal flu), 24% (1957 flu), 40% (1918 flu), and the
mortality at 0.008% (seasonal), 0.2% (1957 flu), and 2.5% (1918 flu). For
comparison, the parameters for the 2003 SARS outbreak were estimated by the CDC
as 0.02% (attack rate) and mortality at 20%. (mortality)

FluWorkLoss
Estimates the number of days of work lost due to an influenza pandemic,
including the impact of workers staying at home to care for family members. A
case study shows how the program can be adapted to estimate the impact of a flu
pandemic on a blood donor clinic.
