Suitable for lining bird cages...or now, pig sties...with.
I'd pimp my blog, but I don't have one.
Cheers!
Well, I could print it out, but printer paper is the wrong size and absorbency for the snake cage ...
Just kidding, very informative.
Thanks for the frmail. Every month someone dies from H5N1 virus, and it still has the potential to kill millions of people.
Dr. Guan Yi, Microbiologist, University of Hong Kong is one of the leading scientists on flu viruses, and here is his news release about the current H1N1 Mexican swine flu:
“Obviously the virus is already endemic in some countries. The virus is very mild, but this is just one option. In the 1918 (Spanish flu) pandemic, the first wave was mild, but by fall, the second wave killed many people. So whichever way this virus swings, we can’t possibly know.
At this point, chances are it will be mild, but we can’t rule out it will turn virulent. And even if it turns milder, it can still kill, depending on the kind of person it infects.
And who is to say it will not reassort with H5N1? In a pandemic, infection rates will be much higher than seasonal flu and chances of this virus meeting and mixing with H5N1 are far higher. If it goes to Egypt, Indonesia, these H5N1 endemic regions, it could turn into a very powerful H5N1 that is very transmissible among people. Then we will be in trouble, it will be a tragedy.
For now we need to limit transmission and treat patients, isolate them and quarantine them. We are much better able to handle this after SARS and so many H5N1 episodes, this is for certain, and we have antivirals that work.”
