New bird flu cases revive fears of human pandemic

Well, I know enough that I thought we had had this serious and fundamentally issue under control, "Somewhat" anyways here we go again.

Just when you thought you could scratch bird flu off your list of things to worry about in 2009, the deadly H5N1 virus has resurfaced in poultry in Hong Kong for the first time in six years, reinforcing warnings that the threat of a human pandemic isn't over.
India, Bangladesh, Vietnam and mainland China also experienced new outbreaks in December. During the same period, four new human cases -- in Egypt, Cambodia and Indonesia -- were reported to the World Health Organization. A 16-year-old girl in Egypt and a 2-year-old girl in Indonesia have died.

When this particular virus had come into a "Realistic" view from scientists and the World Health Organization, it was thought ti would only a matter of time to treat this possible pandemic with retroviruses or a vaccine, now it has reared up again.

"When will all the "Bad News" end for this planet? Could be never." IMHO..

Sorry, had to edit quote.
