fair enough... but I think Henry's heart is in the right place. I spend around 35% of my time in Asia working with bird flu issues, I work with one of the Govt.'s there, including the Deputy Prime Minister. I can tell you these people are scared. These is a lot more going on than is being reported and in China you can be 100% sure EVERYHITNG about H5N1 is under reported.

I knew in November it had crossed over to pigs....... I was told by the Govt. there about what migratory birds were at risk of spreading the virus and the fear of mutation to be airborne.

I can tell you flat out that anyone leaving Asia on a plane with the Virus can be almost anywhere in the world in 24 hours. If the virus becomes airborne, there is no stopping the spread.

I have been to chicken farms that were infected. The normal 'culling' process is to draw a circle around the farm of around 3 KM's and KILL all animals within that circle. It is done quickly and quietly.

I have hundreds of pictures of this in action including me inside these coops which I have shared with Henry.

Many of the locations that go unreported are rural. Most villagers in Asia live the same way they have for hundreds of years. Almost all homes have their own live chickens to eat and sickness and death go unreported. It is all part of the circle of life for the villagers. But many of these people are dying from H5N1.

Henry is letting people know that the virus is MUTATING. This is the most important part of this because now it has relatively hard to catch the virus. If the virus mutates and humans begin to spread it human to human, watch out baby, all bets are off. If you think SARS got crazy, you haven't seen anyhting.
