10:30 p.m.: A human bird-flu pandemic could ground up to 70% of aircraft, Virgin Group boss Richard Branson said. "You're just going to have to be strong enough to keep your head down for a year," the entrepreneur behind Virgin Atlantic Airways told business leaders at Davos, Reuters reports. "If it happens, an airline is going to have 50% of its planes grounded, maybe more – 60%, 70%," he said. Air travel, which was crucial in spreading the deadly SARS virus in 2003, is expected to be in the frontline should bird flu become easily transmitted between people.
