#2 There are persistent rumours of bird flu in humans in China. Once a pandemic starts it will spread astonishingly quickly. Far more quickly than we can respond.

#4 "The worker... is showing no symptoms of the disease, but blood tests show he was exposed to the H5N1 strain of the disease and has produced antibodies to it..."
If I had a nickel for everything I have produced antibodies to...
Right now I rank this somewhere between global warming and another Kerry run in 2008.

#7 Sorry lads, they've been expecting it since the 1980s. They know it's coming, and they know it will kill people in impressive numbers. They have been spending millions just trying to track the SOB. Even the Norks get reasonable on the subject. Right now they are watching it happen, and are powerless to stop it. Prepare for 1-1/2 to 2 years of scary.
