Hi all! I've summed up a few things about the very real possibility of an influenza pandemic in the following message: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/globalvillages/message/506
A short summary: if a flu pandemic emerges it could kill "millions" in weeks or a few months. It would disrupt all societies. How do you buy or sell food in a pandemic year? I wonder what the implications are for Open Space. At least these come to mind: - Preparation and adapting to the threat (aims: slow the pandemic down, keep society moving) has to be at the local level if it is to be done at all. - If/when a pandemic strikes, we want to increase social distance. Could we do OST, TWC, AI etc ... at a distance? - If people have to learn to "do OST" real fast - how fast can people learn? How fast can OST (etc) spread? I would welcome your thoughts on this "unbelievable" (i.e.: either most people are in denial or experts are fully wrong) threat.
