By the way, it was because of the Fatima link that I followed H1N1 so intently. Honestly, now that H5N1 and H1N1 are co circulating in many third world regions, I’m more concerned than ever.
When I wrote the article for L’Osservatore Romano on H1N1 in the summer of 2009, that was the greatest fear of the doctor I interviewed. It wasn’t H1N1 that he feared, but “the next one.”
As far as I understand, the H5N1 virus is not as deadly as it might be, if it could survive the temperatures in the human respiratory system.
It likely wouldn’t take much change to be a bit more dangerous...
I wasn’t aware of any of this. Thank you.
