The Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) failed to heed numerous warnings issued by Veratect, whom noted the possible outbreak of swine flu on 30 March 2009.

The Veratect Corporation provides the earliest detection of emerging threats to human, animal and plant life while empowering corporations, government organizations, NGOs and global citizens with trusted, timely and actionable information. Please see their website at www.ververatect.com/

From Veratect's most recent press release:

KIRKLAND, Wash., — Apr. 26, 2009 — Veratect Corporation, a company that tracks
disease outbreaks globally, announced data from the 24‐hour tracking service that first
detected the current swine influenza outbreak will be made available to the public.
Veratects data will provide public health, humanitarian and aid organizations, as well as
local and national governments, with up‐to‐the‐minute information about potential spread
of the disease to aid in early response efforts. Updates will be made available via Twitter at
www.twitter.com/veratect.

In this rapidly evolving outbreak, early intervention can mean the difference between life
and death for people in countries potentially affected by swine influenza. We want to
provide Veratects services to everyone concerned about this outbreak so they can have the
information they need to respond in a timely and effective manner, said Robert (Bob)
Hart, president and CEO.

  • Can you believe it? The Border Patrol must have been too busy illegally detaining citizens at their interior checkpoints. Thanks for the comment!
