Thanks for the ping.
And don't let the ignorant ostrich types get you down.
It's easy to spot the most ignorant ones. They usually start with some comment about how few people have died, and end by heaping scorn on "the sky is falling" "chicken little" types.
They're the same ones who will want to know why the government was not more prepared when/if H5N1 achieves efficient and stable H2H transmission. They'll probably also wonder why we don't already have an effective vaccine, and why there isn't a pill they can take to protect themselves.
If H5N1 never achieves efficient H2H transmission, these self-appointed hecklers will, of course, heap even more scorn on those who worked to be ready if it did.
You are kind with your support.
I am very old and time and sorrow have taught me;
That the truth is worth telling
And be careful what you throw away.

It's all about the vaccines, isn't it? Someone's gonna make a lot of money scaring people into getting vaccinated.
I wonder which biomedical company I should buy stock in to capitalize on the fear of H2H transmission of H5N1?
Actually, I'll probably make more money buying stock in Purell Hand Sanitizer for when WHO figures out that washing hands and sanitizing is the best way to stop all diseases from spreading.
