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.
