Standardizing Scenarios to Assess the Need to Respond to an Influenza Pandemic	2015-05-01		.txt	text/plain	4122	207	56	We were tasked to evaluate the 6 following interventions: invasive mechanical ventilators, influenza antiviral drugs for treatment (but not large-scale prophylaxis), influenza vaccines, respiratory protective devices for healthcare workers and surgical face masks for patients, school closings to reduce transmission, and airport-based screening to identify those ill with novel influenza virus entering the United States. To allow easy comparison between results (a specification), we standardized a risk space defined by using ranges of transmission and clinical severity from a previously published influenza severity assessment framework ( Figure 1 ) [5] . Standardized epidemiological curves-contact matrix: To model the 4 epidemic curves (Figure 2 ), we built a simple, nonprobabilistic (ie, deterministic) model in which we divided the population into 4 age groups (0-10, 11-20, 21-60, ≥61 years).	./cache/cord-012511-fl5llkoj.txt	./txt/cord-012511-fl5llkoj.txt
