BIRD
FLU WORLDWIDE: H5N1
It is almost certain that the current H5N1 strain, which has
thus far killed more than 450 people, all in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Europe, will spread to
poultry in most or all of the world. So far, almost all cases in humans have
resulted from contact with live infected birds. And the virus could remain in
its current form, which does not seem to spread easily from human to human (as a
common cold would). In that case, it will have a massive economic effect, but
relatively few fatalities. Or, it may well mutate, as past viruses have, to a
person-to-person disease, in which case millions, or tens of millions, will
perish. We should beware of the dangers and share ideas on this worldwide
network to prepare for what could happen to any of us.
