Though the topic of bird flu may have faded from media attention, the disease can still cause major problems, warns scientists. Even though cases of the disease have dropped somewhat from the peak in 2006, experts are now convinced that the disease has become endemic in Indonesia, Bangladesh, Vietnam and Egypt, making eradication impossible. There is still, furthmore, a continued risk of the disease spreading and fears are that governments are not sufficiently prepared to prevent or contain another major outbreak.

    • (Mother is in disaster awareness in our area I'm writting on her behalf, SHE'S AN EXPERT!)

      Avian Influenza is still a hot topic with the CDC, DHHS, Federal, State, and local governments. I Know this for a fact because she recieves a large sum of grants, education, and exercises on this topic. This is all done in preparation of the day when this happens.

      If you're not aware of the issue you have stopped looking at it. Most of the information we have about the virus' spread is erroronous due to places (indonessia for ex.) not reporting properly.

      Instead of asking what happened to the bird flu, one should ask, "Is my family prepared?"

      Check the link, find the facts.
