H5N1 made it's debut in Hong Kong today. This virus has made it's way out of the headlines lately, but, and this is one where I'll hate to say I told you so, of everything out there today H5N1 or Avian flu as it is better known has the potential to cause a brutal pandemic the likes of which the world hasn't seen since small pox. Normally I urge restraint, but ignoring this killer is fool hardy and that's exactly what is happening. Smart people, I know there's at least one of you out there. Pay attention to the Avian flu, it's just a matter of time before this thing crosses with another more virulent flu strain. And that, will be very, very ugly.
