The human race will end up extinguishing itself one way or another.

With this croup going around my house, I’m beginning to fear the SARS.

(just kidding, but we are all sounding like a group of seals practicing for choir)

Since bird flu rarely crosses the species barrier and SARS and bird flu are less dangerous than flu I don’t see the concern.

from Harvard Medical School faculty:

“One researcher noted that no H5 sub-type... has ever caused a pandemic”

“Others said that even if H5N1 [birdflu] did mutate so that it can spread easily from person to person, a prerequisite for any major epidemic, the resulting virus would be weak and unlikely to cause serious illness”

“For all the fear it has aroused, H5N1 in it’s current form has killed about 100 people worldwide and it’s been in circulation, on and off, since 1996.
