Lunar New Year this weekend - bird flu makes comeback!

Millions upon millions of birds in live markets for sale for Lunar New Year - Avian Influenza spread by contact with feces, urine and sweat - get the picture - an unintended but real annual mutation lab for flu viruses that is now global because poultry market has been globalized and industrialized.
Some other headlines: Ban on import of chicken, eggs from Nepal to UP district, Egypt reports two more H5N1 cases, Cambodia culls bird flu-affected ducks, Bangladesh culls 13000 chickens after bird flu outbreak, Media Report: Two Indonesian Bird Flu Cases.

Roll the dice, when will bird flu cross over to the big time? But we gotta make money huh?
