I am writing a biology paper on this verysubject. It's a semester's worth of research, writing, re-writing, peerreviews, and scanning hundreds of pages of scientific reports...:yawn
Honestly, I find itto be quite fascinating, but having justspent the past week completely immersed in information on avianinfluenza, it does get to be quite tiring to hear about it all the time.
That said, I do believe that to dismiss this virus as "media hype"would be a grave mistake. It's deadly, it's dangerous, and unlessthings change dramatically, the mutation of a virulent strain is only amatter of time. Vaccines are not the answer. Preparedness is.
