WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION AT IT AGAIN...

Yes they're back with Bird-Flu. afraid that we had all forgotten them the WHO are now warning that the H5N1 virus has reappeared in Vietnam and that 3 people are reported to have died recently from it. Meanwhile in China reports that the virus has been found in pigs are being strenuously denied by Chinese Authorities (surprise surprise). The WHO, desperate to justify their own existence and importance, are claiming that if the virus is now found in pigs then that could lead to a global human flu pandemic.

Quite how is not clear, (they seem to think that somehow the Bird Flu and the Human Flu viruses are going to mate inside a pig to produce some form of super-virus but that sounds highly unlikly to me - for a start virusses don't mate) but that's not stopping them launching a few scare stories anyway.

Well done WHO.
