Economic modelling suggests that pandemic flu could reduce UK gross domestic product (GDP) by between 0.5% (£8.4bn) and 4.3% (£73.2bn) or more, depending on the severity of the pandemic and on people's reaction; significant factors are whether schools are closed, and whether people choose prophylactic absence from work; adequate vaccination could reduce the maximum impact to about 1% of GDP.

The genetic fitness of an individual is influenced by their phenotype, genotype and family and social structure of the population in which they live. It is likely that the fitness of deaf individuals was quite low in the Western European population during the Middle Ages. The establishment of residential schools for deaf individuals nearly 400 years ago resulted in relaxed genetic selection against deaf individuals which contributed to the improved fitness of deaf individuals in recent times. As part of a study of deaf probands from Gallaudet University, we collected pedigree data, including the mating type and the number ...
