Guest guest Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 I posted a piece about bird flu a few weeks ago ( /message/9595) Now ABC News just discussed it again. There are fears of a worldwide pandemic and the expert said it was only a question of " when " not " if " . In Europe and Asia, there've been some cases of spread directly from birds to humans (and a couple of deaths). this would be a very virile potent flu and estimates if/when this happens are that 200,000 Americans will die. Apparently U.S. Congress just appropriated $50 million to investigate/try to find a vaccine. Let's hope that CRON offers some protection.
