And in the distance, dark clouds and warnings. Will this storm of confluence pass us by - or visit us with fury?

"Thou the spring of all my comfort,
More than life to me,
whom have I on earth beside thee?
Whom in heaven but thee?"

Thank you for keeping us informed of this.
I think this article explains a reason for this resistance.

China has been trying to suppress a bird flu outbreak by feeding poultry a human antiviral drug, threatening public safety in the event of a global pandemic.



China first reported an avian flu outbreak in February last year. Yet for more than eight years, according to drug company officials in Beijing quoted in the US media, the agriculture ministry has been urging farmers to use the drug, amantadine, on infected birds, in breach of international guidelines.

It explains why scientists discovered late last year that the virus had grown resistant to amantadine, which cannot now be used to fight it in humans
