bird flu isnt as easily contractable than swine flu i believe. this rascal is airborne and therefore tres difficult to contain. watching the various tv reports on it the difference between BBC and ITV's coverage has been quite remarkable. monday nite the BBC were quite restrained, still lead story, but explaining how its caught where it is thought to have centred from etc etc. switch to ITV with graphics and a man shouting how its going to be a pandemic was truly impressive!

from what i've read and watched, this is a different to the bird flu we were all going to die of recently. i suspect it'll kill more people than Sars did, but as has been mentioned my guess would be it will be in deprived countries, those without decent health care would be most at risk.

that said, i (geniunely) just sneezed. this will be my last post.
