Avian Flu

Good to see a few words of support for a change, amidst the mass hysteria of the general media. This article in the BBC website tells us:

The UK's plans to deal with bird flu are "as good as if not better" than other leading nations, the government's adviser on infectious diseases says.

Professor Roy Anderson said the Department of Health was backed up by a "very strong" scientific community with experience of dealing with epidemics.

Now of course his expertise, and the strong scientific community is no match for for the 4th Estate... but it's nice to get an occasional voice of reson slipping through.

GF wishes he could say more.
