    I appreciate this *could* turn out to be bad but I'm heartily sick of the way the press is presenting this

    its not a problem until it can be transmitted from human to human, currently its only bird to human.

    To get to the state where it can be transmitted humna to human it has to mutate, this will most probably be as a result of an interaction with a human flu virus.

    A pandemic is certainly overdue, but its not here yet

    SARS all over again. OK, maybe it's got further, but that's still my opinion. Nothing terrible came of it.

    My mates missus has bird flu.... Shes forever moaning about something and cant park to save herself..

    Seriously though, I am from Fife, and only about 15 minute drive from the location of the infected swan. Have had no knock on effects within my radius so far with the exception of bird keepers being told to house birds 24/7 instead of over night housing.

    Im at a training course in glasgow this week and the news yesterday on the local paper was that 2 birds were found dead... although no test results had been produced as of yet.
