So, I watched something worthwhile on TV last night: Equinox on bird flu.

( The gory highlights )

What else should I watch on TV this week?

Current Mood: awake
Current Music: "The Night Comes Down", Queen, Queen

I believe that the nearest human deaths to Europe so far have been the children in Turkey?

I've just seen a report that would suggests a good reason why we should all be keeping our cats under control, and not letting them roam and catch birds.

Apparently, the first mammal in Europe to die of bird flu is a domestic cat. "Ooo... raw bird... not flying away quickly enough... my favourite! *chomp*" :-(((

Current Mood: sad
Current Music: Robin Hood theme, Clannad

From Reuters:

"The H5N1 avian flu virus has killed more than 60 people in Asia. If the virus becomes easy to pass from person to person, some experts predict up to 50 percent of people where the virus is circulating could become ill, and 5 percent could die."

Five percent of 6 billion is 300 million. Hmm. (One third would be 2 billion, of course).

Can you guess what my mood is?
