So in the UK, the government now have reduced the predicted numbers expected to catch swine flue but there is still likely to be an expected surge later in the autumn.
I wonder how many businesses have taken the opportunity to review their remote access options for staff.
Surely it is better to be prepared than not?
The predicted number to die in the UK is now 19,000 which is still very concerning as these will be someone's child, wife, husband, partner, brother or sister.
What does surprises me is that UK PLC is not encouraging more remote access to ensure we continue to come out of recession. Swine flue can still impact the economy of the country significantly
With BT 21CN exchanges coming on stream every week and the availability now of up to 24Mbits/sec broadband speeds, remote working is a serious option for businesses to consider.
Remote working whilst possibly reducing the opportunities to catch or spread swine flue also reduces people carbon foot print so even more reason to adopt it.
