Austrian Cats, Polish Swans Have Bird Flu

The H5N1 contains evidence of mammalian polymorphisms in particular feline signatures exist, tigers became infected in Vietnam for instance. It is most likely that predation of migrating fowl by local feline populations has caused the feline infection clusters (they occur within proximity of avian clusters)

Maybe from the pouch I wear..LOL... Actually I have been doing research in the health benefits and have forund that a Quantum life is very health and tranquil IMHO..

Is a exciting technology...

My concern is the propensity for mammalian transfer. Is this is ticking bomb in your view?

[Kelly_2000]

hmm I am seeing my field rapidly converging with engineering, computer and mathematics.

Molecular biology as a life science probably has the most synergy with quantum physics. Some research into molecular processors and quantum computers is evidence of this.

"My concern is the propensity for mammalian transfer. Is this is ticking bomb in your view?"

It is inevitable, this season next? who knows, we can only make probability estimates based on epidemiological analysis and field studies of the various isolates recovered.

Every year there is the risk of influenza pandemic do not let the media fool you into thinking this is a recent of sudden issue. We face this throw of the dice every year more or less. Concerned? Yes because this subtype is not looking like it will recombine with a porcine or human strain, it is more likely it will acquire mammalian and thereby human specificity, you understand this? not as a result of antigenic shift or drift yes? it is acquiring the polymorphisms. This means the likelihood of a highly pathogenic human to human subtype such as that seen in the 1918 pandemic is more possible. We have more to fear form this type of pandemic that anything seen in the avian flu pandemics of the 60's for instance.

DO you have an opinion on Quantum nature by aligning the multidimensional layers of subtle energy.

[Kelly_2000]

wowo maybe a good idea to make a thread in it's own right on this topic as I suspect we could talk all day on this one :-) How about it?

Thanks for that info.
here's another question and it might sound very stupid,because I don't know about this H5N1 virus.

Q-----> Can it live in water ?

[laney]

Oh I would love it! Please do!

[steve86]

The virus can even live in ice for extended periods of time.

[steve86]

If you were asking about the flu virus living in a large body of water like a lake or a city water system, no, that is not a vector.
