<Now bird flu is showing up further south in Indonesia and getting close to northwestern Australia> I suppose there's no point in shooting all the migratory birds in New Zealand. There are so many migratory humans that as soon as the humanized H5N1 pops out of the brew in Asia, it'll be winging its way south to New Zealand on the next 747, lurking inside some perhaps asymptomatic just-infected person. There are sufficient humans, pigs, other animals and birds to keep the bug circulating among the billions in Asia, so a few more opportunities to drift, shift, recombine, desequence and resequence, transform and metamorphose are neither here nor there in the development of the humanized killer. I suppose vaccination is the way to avoid it. Mqurice
