Worried about a bird flu pandemic? I think you should be
My latest article for The Register looks at how likely a bird flu pandemic is - and more particularly what it might be like in the aftermath.
Bonus links: Nature’s blog from December 2005 (ie the future) as the pandemic spreads; Nature online special about avian flu (links to mostly premium content); New England Journal of Medicine article on our preparedness.
Feel free to add any you’ve got..

Anyone who saw McLibel on BBC2 last night saw a glimpse of why.
My trusted food supplier says supermarket chickens are pumped to reach their size / weight in 5 weeks, organic chickens take 18 - 20 weeks to reach similar size / weight, naturally.
Organic food even when double the price looks cheap to me. Quality vs quantity.
