Bird Flu now in India

Everyone is worrying(and rightly so) about the virus mutating to human to human form. Staying in bird form and whiping out a significant portion of food supply is not good either..

Several other headlines comign from India

You have to love how the villiagers are throwing the dead birds in the water. That seems like a pretty bad idea.

I am still not going to be alarmed by the bird flu until it actually kills a reasonable number of people. What can the average Joe do about bird flu besides be afraid? Go out and buy some Tamiflu? No thanks, I will wait until there is actually something I can do about it.

Actually tamiflu has shown mixed results and since virus is not human to human there is no data on that. One other thread I mentioned a program maybe on history channel -very good if it comes around again.

and it is getting worse now.. here

The H5N1 strain of bird flu is regarded as highly pathogenic and can also cause disease and death in humans.
