Dual infections are bad news for many reasons. Hi Henry, I can understand now how we are stepping ever near the precipice of an influenza disaster. The health authorities in Asia and at the UN must be under severe pressure to relieve the economic disaster of mass culls in the Asian poultry industry and elsewhere. Perhaps the recent news is no surprise in the light of this fact. Henry, in your view, what would be the right steps to take to lessen the risk of a lethal avian flu type pandemic to the human population? I consider the threat as severe, so any action taken could be drastic in nature if needed. Less drastic solutions would be more popular of course. pb
