Note: I’ve been otherwise occupied today, dealing with unexpected family matters and haven’t had an opportunity to post.
So I’m happy to report that Crof over at Crofsblog has posted a number of stories, including one from Helen Branswell on the World Health Organization, and the incredibly complex and controversial issues they must consider regarding bird flu research projects around the world.
As always with a Branswell story, you’ll want to follow the link and read it in its entirety.

Read it on Global News: Global Calgary | Controversial bird flu studies raise complex problem, defy easy solutions: WHO
I hope to be back blogging regularly tomorrow, but in the meantime check Crof, Arkanoid Legent, and A Times Memory – along with FluTrackers and the Flu Wiki – for breaking flu & infectious disease news.
