Everyone loves Chicken

What would we do without Chicken in an Apricot-Butter Glaze...slurp slurp

Hi readers, I watched a very interesting program last night that featured a member of WHO (World Health Organization). The discussion was in reference to latest outbreaks of "H5N1"(the deadliest strain of Avian Flu). The outbreaks have occurred along the Asiatic Pacific rim countries such as Vietnam, Hong Kong, Indonesia. Studies have shown that this virus has shown a 50% mortality rate among contractors. Some people believe that this is not a virus that stems from an avian origin and the people of the mentinoned countries continue to farm and consume the poultry stocks along the infected corridor. Let's just hope that Uncle Sam and the CDC continue to monitor the progress of this potentially lethal virus.

Influenza A (H5N1) virus – also called “H5N1 virus” – is an influenza A virus subtype that occurs mainly in birds. It was first isolated from birds (terns) in South Africa in 1961. Like all bird flu viruses, H5N1 virus circulates among birds worldwide, is very contagious among birds, and can be deadly.
