The PulseNet USA cost benefit paper that has been under way for 7-8
years and that you have all heard about but not seen is finally out.

We believe the estimates we have come up with are low estimates of the
benefits but still a 70 x return on investment isn't bad.

I have attached it and a more layman friendly explanation can be seen
for example here:

ar-beyond-outbreak-control/#.VulM2_LVxmM

Brent, this paper should be added to the PulseNet International
web-site.

Thanks
