HUMANS MORE AT RISK FROM BIRD FLU

WHO Warns Humans May be Increasingly at Risk for Bird Flu says Voice of America, while the International Herald Tribune points out that Some Asian countries as well as Poland were banning U.S. poultry imports after the outbreak of a strain of avian influenza discovered last week at a Delaware farm. It's not the same strain as that in the Far East, but that doesn't mean it's safe.

UPDATE 2/12: Bird flu found at live chicken markets in NJ. In another classic scenario, there's no way of finding out where the birds came from.
UPDATE 2/16 Now it's in Pennsylvania, too.
