The bird flu does
not spread by human contact, and it is caught only through direct
contact with infected birds. Doctors assure that the virus only passes
from contaminated animals to humans and not from human to human,
but they are warning about the danger of the emergence of a
crossbred virus between bird flu and a human influenza virus.<<<<<<<
I think this paragraph from the last post on this (part one)
is the most important thing to know, it explains all we face, "crossbreed".......
LOL, now to convince it to stay in its own territory and not go out looking for something different.....
Does 'virus' think?
Flu is airborne...the direct contact bit is only for the current mutation which hasn't made the big jump of being spread man to man easily*(yes, crossover with another HN variant.) Once that species jump has been made it will spread across the world in a month or two. If you happen to be vaccinated with the variant you should stand a better chance to survive.
*There have been more and more cases of familial tranmission so the relative ease is slowly increasing.
