More on Bird Flu

This week's New Yorker (Feb. 28 issue) has a longish piece by Michael Specter on avian flu and the chances that it might be the next global pandemic.  It's well worth reading but unfortunately is not available on-line.  An on-line companion piece, though, is available here.  It's a Q&A with Specter and provides a quick overview of Specter's article.  Caution: This piece is not going to help you sleep any better tonight.  [tm]
