REMEMBER ME?

Early afficionados to E.R. will remember this little fella, well on his way to catching bird flu, so he was.
In the five days that Britain has talked about loans and the budget, bird flu in humans has spread to Burma, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Egypt, Israel, and Gaza.
US scientists have confirmed that since coming into contact with humans the virus has already mutated into two distinct strains. This makes the likelihood of further mutations high.
You can watch the virus spread across continents via birds and people with a lovely (but fiddly) interactive map provided by the BBC news website. Click the title of this post for the link.
No eggs were harmed in the making of this post, but in true army style we did smash his brains in with a bunch of soldiers once the cameras had left.
