"Because of this chronic public health hazard, South China is the source for most of the world's new strains of flu, colds, and other diseases."

I posted this bit of information on another thread last night.

"From Today's News: Independent (UK)"

"* A Dutch vet became the first human victim linked to the "bird flu" epidemic sweeping through Holland's poultry industry. The vet died of pneumonia after being infected by the virus which, although rarely transmitted to humans, killed six people in Hong Kong after emerging in 1997.""

I thought this virus had been contained after China killed millions of chickens.

The poultry farmers in the Delmarva peninsula of the US east coast are terrified of Bird Flu. Justifiably so, as it could wipe out an entire industry.

"* A Dutch vet became the first human victim..."

"I thought this virus had been contained after China killed millions of chickens."

I thought that too and wondered what were the odds it would reappear.

I remember it being ducks.
