Abstract
Executive summary Avian flu epidemic 2003: public health consequences.Risk factors, health, well-being, health care needs and preventive measures during the H7N7 avian flu outbreak control in the Netherlands.An estimated thousand people, possibly more have been infected with avian flu during the outbreak in the Netherlands in 2003. One third of the poultry farmers whose holdings were cleared reported stress reactions, fatigue and depressive symptoms. The large spread of the virus underscores the importance of the measures to prevent poultry-to-human transmission in people handling infected poultry. The possible uncertainty, stress and anxiety associated with the avian flu control demand specific health care attention. A total of 453 people reported with health complaints, predominantly conjunctivitis. Antibodies were found in 59% of infected poultry workers' family members. Of the 500 tested persons who had handled infected poultry, about 50% showed an antibody response. The poultry farmers and workers complied insufficiently with the preventive measures. The antiviral drug oseltamivir protected against infection, whereas mouth and nose masks did not. The attention for support, information and respectful treatment of poultry farmers and workers during the clearances worked quite well. Externally hired veterinarians experienced their activities as emotionally aggravating more often than other professionals. About a quarter of the poultry farmers worried about the survival of their holding and the sector as a whole; 16% felt a need for additional support, help or health care because of the avian flu. They consulted agricultural care providers and family doctors, and less frequently mental health care providers.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
