you might have spoken too soon ... REPORT: HUMAN-TO-HUMAN BIRD FLU SUSPECTED IN INDONESIA... http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=10000080&sid=aWESsJvt6CFE&refer=asia ``It looks like the same behavior pattern'' of close contact and caretaking during illness with the bird flu virus, Cheng said. To raise the level of pandemic alert ``it would have to be transmissible from more casual contact.'' So... 218 confirmed cases, and the article only mentions 2 or 3 known person to person transmissions, and only one 3-person chain. My bet's still on Ebola - http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvrd/spb/mnpages/dispages/ebotabl.htm There's been more outbreaks, and better person-person spread of the virus.
