This thing goes human to human...

It'll make SARS look like a sprained ankle.

Authorities in Pakistan have announced that country's first reported cases of H5N1 avian flu in a cluster of family members which may have involved human-to-human transmission.

The WHO spokesperson said investigations are still underway to try to determine how the various people became infected, but some human-to-human spread is possible.

"We can't rule it out," WHO spokesperson Gregory Hartl said from Geneva.

Blogging will be light for the rest of the day... gotta lay in some food, fuel and entertainment... just in case the weather fairies are right about this impending storm.

Too easy to get socked in when your driveway is 700 feet long.

Later.

Candles,batteries and bottled water. Let me guess for entertainment...the local fiddle champ?
Storm days can be quaint and cozy if you are prepared.

the crowning moment of this farce was the endless ctv screening of the delegate from papua-new guinea (who was clearly not a native of papua-new-guinea) telling the usa to get out of the way and let some other nation (papua-new guinea?) take the lead role in the fight against against agw.

the perfect p.c. ending to this circus.
