Henry, there seem to be reasons for optimism.

>>The most recent cluster of cases in Thai Binh have had patients that have been discharged or are improving, raising the possibility that the bird flu in the north is gaining in human-to-human transmission efficiency at the expense of a high case fatality ratio.<<

Henry, this is somewhat away from your immediate interest in bird flu but as you are an eminent microbiologist yourself I wonder what you think of this?

>>There is really only one reason to kill off a bunch of scientists. To keep them from doing something they are able to do.

What were these scientists able to do? Maybe blow the whistle if an artificially created disease was about to be used in a manner those who created it did not approve of.

Regardless of the exact reason, there does seem to be a clear pattern of targeted microbiologists, and paired with it, an obvious government disinterest in the matter.

I leave it to you to figure out why. <<
