Last night it dawned on me that killer flu's have tended to appear when these two criterion are fullfilled:
- There is a flu type virus around - usually in animals.
- There is a large scale disaster or large amounts of disease around in the human population.
Well it seems that with avian flu having been present in Asia, and coupled with the terrible tsunami that engulfed the area that the conditions have been met. Will 2005 spell the next outbreak of killer flu? Hopefully not, but I think it's time to boost up our immune systems.
