herpguy Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I thought this was worthy of a thread: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060623/ap_on_he_me/bird_flu It turns out H5N1 Avian Flu mutated in a family in Indonesia. It passed through the family by human transmission. Thankfully, the mutation didn't last long. It's gone. It just goes to show you how close we could have been to a pandemic, and that we desperately need to prepare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tejaswini Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 actually don't be so happy, the virus is probably just dormant now. the mutation still persists. only some people are more suseptable than the others if it finds the right host like a hiv patient , the virus could actually mutate into a much powerful strain.it can burst out any time and yes we need to be prepared , but i'm not sure if we really are.
