| Re: Bird flu - wild birds
There was a pretty good quick guide to the Bird-flu in the times last Sunday that went through a dozen of the basic questions, but nothing on wild birds.
119 infected since 1997, of which about half died and there are two suspected cases of human to human transmission.
They also point out that, despite major concerns, the global nuclear holocaust, global cooling, millenium bug, mad cow disease, the 9/11 anthrax and SARS never managed to kill us like everyone said they would - so no need to panic just yet. |
