According to Reuters it’s not serious yet, but I remember reading a book a few weeks ago on this very subject, with disasterous consequences. *shudder*
“If a person contracts both human flu and bird flu during this peak flu season, that may result in the two sharing their genetic information and emerging into a new strain with the ability to jump very efficiently from human to human.
“If that happens, it will be an emergence of a pandemic, something we don’t want to see,” Chan told Reuters.

that was ONE book you read. For every book/article you read saying “yea”, there’s also another that says “nay”. Just a thought.
Is there any new news on this? I assume that this bird flu thing is now under control, right?
