Odd coincidence that they'd planned a bird-flu excercise for yesterday isn't it?

@ Motz true.
However, there's a bigger evolutionary gap between E. Coli and, say, Stapholococcus than there is between a human and a mushroom. In other words, there's more genetic diversity within the bacteria than there is within the rest of life on the planet (approximately 4 times as much). There's a thought to conjure with.

It was only a matter of time, there's no such thing as natural bio-isolation.
Well, let's just see, shall we? Although the girlfriend is preparing a barricade with supplies of domestos and face masks, I'm more inclined to believe we're moderately safe from a mutation of the virus to human afflicting status.

Might just be the conspiracist in me talking, but earlier I mentioned this to some friends, and couldn't help wondering if perhaps this "found bird" is in fact the exercise, and they're testing public reaction on it.markfiend wrote:Odd coincidence that they'd planned a bird-flu excercise for yesterday isn't it?
That or we're all gonna die. Either way's good with me, bring on Quentin The Pigeon.

@ Jess -
Mutating humans - hmmm, a briefest glimpse at some of the near neighbours would suggest that process is well advanced.

I don't give a s**t about lots of humans dying. The more the merrier IMHO, clear the planet up a bit. As long as it's not me obviously. It's the little birdies I is worried about.
Right, on that note, I'm flying off to Sweden now byeeeeee!
