All strains of influenza virus started originally from birds. The strains mutate slightly each year. That is why we need new vaccines. Lots of people die from various flu strains every year. Around one million people per year die around the world and 36,000 per year in the U.S.
What everyone is calling Avian Flu right now is a strain that originated in Vietnam in 1997. It is called “H5N1”. It moved west in migrating bird populations. It has moved in the “flyways”, the migratory populations of birds. It has, therefore, gone from Vietnam to the following countries that have reported human infections: China, Cambodia, Indonesia, Thailand, to Russia and now beyond. It has been found in humans in Turkey and Iraq. The wild birds sometimes pass the virus to domesticated birds, such as chickens. There a many more countries who have reported cases in birds, such as Nigeria and Ukraine.
130 humans worldwide have been infected with this virus since 1997. Half of them have died. That is what is causing concern. The death rate is normally very low. In fact, the Spanish flu that killed half a million people in the U.S. and 50 million people worldwide in 1918 had only a two percent mortality rate. One reason this strain is more deadly is that it strikes deep in the lungs. Treatment is more difficult.
The problem will come, if at all, if the Avian flu mutates so that it spreads from human to human. Then the number of cases will rise quickly and dramatically and cause a crisis.
Tamiflu and other existing medications will cure the Avian flu. However, there is a limited supply. This is because the FDA standards for safety screening are costly and time consuming. The number of companies making vaccines for flu has dropped from 26 fifty years ago, including 10 in the U.S. alone, to two world wide, one in the U.S. and one in France. The other problem is lawsuits which have driven up the cost.

OK, Josh, just to show how important you are to me, I have modified my blog to archive monthly and have figured out,with your coaching and after only 3 tries, how to do a link. I have linked to Protestant Pub, where you post on occasion. Ta Da!
I didn't put you first. Sorry. But, David Heddle, at He Lives, gets first, because he is great, I learned a lot from him, he links to me, and he is a real, live physicist.
If Protestant Pub will link to me, I'll have two blogs linking. That sounds like the 12 days of Christmas, doesn't it? Two blogs linking and a partridge in a pear tree.
I didn't change the template, however. I haven't figured out yet what I want.

I guess this is my chance to be rich. I received this email:
Greeting in the name of our lord Jesus Christ.
I am Mrs.Julian Coker. A widow to late John Coker. I am 61 years old, I am now a new Christian convert, suffering from long time cancer of the breast, from all indication my conditions is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that I will not live more than six months, according to my doctors, this is because the cancer stage has gotten To a very bad stage. My late husband killed during the U.S. raid against terrorism in Afghanistan, and during the period of our marriage we could not Produce any child. My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all His business and wealth. The doctors has advised me that I may not Live for more than six months, so I now decided to divide the part of This wealth, to contribute to the development of the church in Africa, America Asia, and Europe. I prayed over it, I am a willing to donate the sum of $5,000.000.00 us dollars, to the less privileged. Please I want you to note that fund is lying in a security company and upon my Instruction, my attorney, who presently is in Africa distributing Relief materials to of bombast in slerra-leone, will file in an application for the transfer of the money in your name. Lastly, I honestly pray that this money when transferred will be used for the said purpose, because I have come to find out that wealth acquisition and without Christ is vanity. May the grace of our Lord Jesus the love of god and the fellowship of god be with you and Your family. I await urgent reply. Yours in Christ. Mrs. Julian Coker. reply to julianbrowns@yahoo.co.uk or coker_ng_@fusemail.com
You will notice that the English is not very good for someone named Coker. I wonder if many Nigerians are named "Coker"? You will also notice that "God" is always spelled with a lower case "g". As if it were a little hard for you to refer to someone other than Allah as God.
I've decided to pass, but if you want to send "Ms. Coker" your regards, you now have her email address.

Christianity Today reports that, Mark noll is leaving Wheaton College for Notre Dame in the fall. Noll wrote America's God: From Jonathan Edwards to Abraham Lincoln. Atlantic magazine called it the most significant work of American historical scholarship in 2002. He also wrote, in 1994, an influenctial book called The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind, that has become a classic work on evangelical anti-intellectualism. His next book will be called The Civil War as a Theological Crisis. Time named him one of America's 25 most influential evangelicals in 2005. This is quite a loss for Wheaton. It may also be a loss for evangelicalism and protestantism as well. You have to wonder if a conversion to Catholicism is coming. Noll actively pursues communications between Catholics and Protestants. I would suggest that Wheaton is a better platform from which to lead protestants to talk to Catholics, if you are interested in that.
It would be a shame for Evangelicalism to lose one of its brighter intellects to prove the point of his book.
