Was just doing some reading about Avian Influenza. To tell you the truth, I haven't paid much attention. But it's very disturbing to say the least. From The Guardian article I'm reading, "It may become less damaging when sufficient numbers of birds have been infected, or the virus could evolve again, making it easier to spill into other species – including mammals and humans.". I hope they can at least vaccinate for the domestic birds, since culling the flocks removes any chance for herd immunity, I'm guessing.

Yikes.
