The Above Linkblogs Might Contain "Borrowed" links.
Linkblogs do not substantially contribute traffic to my blog that I can discover. They all go offsite, and are often accessed from my blog. It's possible to access them from the RSS according to my settings. Still, even if I were to get ads clicking on a linkblog from the RSS won't drive more people to my blog than otherwise because they leave my resources. (Note to self, do more posts, less LBs with sources I find). I explain because I sometimes borrow links from people at Twitter, and often forget who put them up. (To fellow Twitterers: If you have a link to your blog, I will point it there, but Twitter, being impermanent, cannot hold your link for people to discover from there. I only 'borrow' them to get news out to as many people as I can who might not have seen the reports and videos found by the smart people I follow at Twitter or find in search rooms.RSS Add-Me
AP: Chinese bird flu expert to lead world health group. (Managed Hong Kong's SARs epidemic) And Scotty has died and can't beam anyone up anymore. I'm, Depressed.
Well, since SARS did not engulf the rest of the world, I guess her administration could be called successful on that, but China's fight with SARS was long and deadly compared with other nations'.China nominated and backed [Dr. Margaret Chan, a bird flu expert], a reflection of its interest in playing a bigger role in global affairs.
The executive board of the World Health Organization chose Chan to be its next director-general over four other candidates in a tight race to fill the post vacated by the death in May of Dr. Lee Jong Wook. In the final round of voting, Chan easily defeated Mexico's health minister, Dr. Julio Frenk, by a vote of 24-10.
...
Chan was Hong Kong's health director during the SARS outbreak in 2003. She joined WHO later that year and took over as the agency's influenza pandemic chief in 2005.
As an assistant director-general, she has led WHO's efforts to fight communicable diseases and most immediately to prepare for a possible pandemic should the bird flu virus mutate into a strain easily transmitted among humans.
Chan, who earned her medical degree from the University of Western Ontario in Canada, joined the Hong Kong Department of Health in 1978 and has spent most of her career in administration.
I hope she learned a lot from that. But I'm keeping the Tamiflu® close at hand.
(Just kidding. A poor old blogger like me can't afford to stock up on Tamiflu®.)
