And nobody is worried, because, despite what the tabloids would like you to believe, there is a rather large evolutionary gap between birds and humans.

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

I think we can trust our goverment to protect us on this one.After all look at the fantastic job they did with Foot and Mouth disease .

@ 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!

Precisely. If anything happens to the tits and robins in my garden, I'm gonna be well pissed off. And there's some friendly local buzzards too... let just hope they're ok!boudicca wrote:
