Hi all,
If you are feeling a bit hot, with today's warm weather, here is a way to make 
your blood run cold, have a listen to the ABC Radio National Health Report 
story about Bird Flu research. 
http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/healthreport/health-report-23-january-2012/3785124

Not only could this lead to the massive loss of wild and domestic birds, that 
has already been the risk, now some bright sparks have worked out, and all but 
published, HOW TO make the virus air transmissible in mammals with, I think 
they said, SIXTY PERCENT mortality - FAR higher than the post WWI flu pandemic 
had. This research was also undertaken in not highest safety labs.

I am all for free exchange of scientific knowledge,  this is VERY scary. 
Thankfully world scientists have taken action to try to keep this genie in its 
bottle.
