 [Birdflublog.blogspot.com] THE BIRD FLU BLOG: The Bird Flu Blog will bring together news and official announcements of the spread of avian flu throughout the world, the plans to combat its spread, notes from history on previous pandemics and how they were fought, and a look at the conspiracy theories that are already taking root. This is not academia, this is one person's reportage of a world on the brink of disaster.

 [Googleblog.blogspot.com] Official Google Blog: Bird flu basics: The avian flu's jump to humans was first detected in 1997, although all the human deaths reported so far (about 60 since 2003) have been due to transmission from animals to humans. There has been more concern recently because the virus has been detected in migratory birds which can't be caught and killed - and which may carry the virus to Europe and Africa within the next two migratory seasons.

[Drbobgleeson.typepad.com] Bird flu: 3% is a very big number , but it also means that we have a 97% chance that H5N1 will do nothing but kill birds (and raise havoc with industrial chicken farmers and destroy the lives of villagers who depend on chickens for their daily food). Our best hope is that we can use the planning response to a 3% risk to learn how to make vaccines better and faster, we can learn how to work together as a community.
