   JD> Dont be so sure about the fiction.  We recently had somebody come back   
   JD> from a   
   JD> vacation in China.  This person felt sick and was found t have the Avian   
   JD> Flu.   
   JD> Death was the result.  H5N1.   
       
   It was in the news here as well and I don't believe it.   
       
   The Avia Flu is a pandemic disease ... one case in Canada after a visit to   
   China should mean there have to be thousands in China. WHO reports nothing.   
       
   I bet it was something viral but doubtful Avian Flu.
