 [Guardian.co.uk] Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | So who's really to blame ...: It points out that most of the bird flu outbreaks in south-east Asian countries can be linked to the movements of poultry and poultry products. Looking at the outbreaks in Nigeria and Egypt, which occurred almost simultaneously in multiple large-scale poultry operations, it says that there is "strong circumstantial evidence" that it was the transfer of infected material - straw, soil on vehicles, clothes or shoes - from one factory unit to another that spread H5N1 there, not wild birds.

[Birdflumonitor.com] Bird Flu Monitor: [(parenthetical remarks) - blogging between the lines] It's no secret that she's deeply immersed in Kabbalah, the once-obscure form of Jewish mysticism that, thanks in large part to the Material Girl (or Esther, to call her by her "Kabbalah name"), has taken over Hollywood like the next incarnation of Transcendental Meditation. Everywhere you look, anorexic wrists are sporting red Kabbalah strings and doe-eyed starlets are sipping "completely positive, healing energy" from their bottles of Kabbalah water (only $1.75 per half-liter!)

[Oilempire.us] Bird Flu: But if - when - a flu pandemic comes, and millions of people die around the world over a period of months, the reality will be one of two alternatives. It's either going to be like those films, with videoconferencing suddenly all the rage, local farm produce making a big profit, empty supermarket shelves (you have to ship the oil, and distribute the fuel, but can the Armed Forces really do all that?), tumbleweed blowing in the streets, a medieval attitude to anyone not from "around here".
