Thanks for the ping. I want to stay informed.
I read, and I often understand, but I'm not sufficiently knowledgable to post on either this or the Marburg thread. Thank you to those FReepers with expertise in associated fields who keep the rest of us up to date.
Does anyone here know how far along researchers are in developing a vaccine for avian flu? Perhaps Kelly_2000 can help us here? Are sufficient resources being allocated, or is this something about which our government reps need to be better informed?
Since this thread is new today, perhaps some posted background basics -- why the worry, what's being done, etc. -- would be appropriate for later referral. Or maybe a post with collected links to earlier flu threads, like was done for Marburg.
Just suggestions from a layman.
On the contrary, your suggestions about background information and articles being posted here are excellent. It certainly slipped my mind.
I'm not sure who has a list of background articles, or if anyone does...
I'll go look up a couple, probably from WHO and the CDC and post links here shortly.
