Just hope they don't get access to TamiFlu and ruin it like the did with the M2
inhibitors.

It almost certainly refers to an outbreak in birds, probably domestic
poultry.  This strain is extremely lethal in chickens - 100% mortality
within 48 hours is not uncommon.  Aside from the potential of a human
transmissible strain developing, this disease is a disaster for
commercial poultry and egg producers, as well as for hundreds of
millions of people for whom a small backyard flock is the main source
of animal protein and income beyond a subsistence level.

So far, cases in humans have only been confirmed in Vietnam, Indonesia,
Thailand and Cambodia.  This epizootic has been worsening since 2003,
and unlike previous outbreaks, hasn't been controllable by the usual
methods that have been successful in eradicating similar epizootics in
the past, usually within weeks.  Previous epizootics have generally
been confined to a single country or part of a country, but this one
has spread over much of Asia and is now in Europe as well.

The best source of information about the epizootic and efforts to avert
or mitigate a pandemic is the WHO web site: www.who.int.  There's an FAQ
in the Avian Influenza area which is particularly helpful.
