June 29 (Bloomberg) -- A flu outbreak killing 70 million people worldwide may cause global economic losses of as much as $2 trillion, a World Bank official said.. Full Article
``As these outbreaks continue and spread to new regions, they also increase the probability of a second stage, with human-to-human transmission and a global influenza pandemic, with enormously greater costs on a world scale'' - Milan Brahmbhatt, a lead adviser in the East Asia region, citing a study by the Washington-based World Bank
The simple truth is that an increasing number
of infectious agents (bacteria, viruses, and fungi)
are proving competent to acquire resistance to
our armamentarium of chemical disinfecting and
antimicrobial agents, even as new biological threats
emerge. Ultraviolet light in the C-band destroys
100% of DNA- and RNA- based micro-organisms (e.g.
every bacterium, virus, parasite and fungus) in
an effective, safe, environmentally responsible
manner – without chemicals – and with
absolutely no possibility of any germ developing
resistance: every micro-organism is and will remain
100% susceptible to UV-C light.
