The discovery of swine flu in birds in Chile raises concerns about the spread of the virus, the UN warns.
Last week the H1N1 virus was found in turkeys on farms in Chile. The UN now says poultry farms elsewhere in the world could also become infected.
Scientists are worried that the virus could theoretically mix with more dangerous strains. It has previously spread from humans to pigs.
However, swine flu remains no more severe than seasonal flu.
Not really news at all then...

Ha... I see what they did there, combine bird + swine flu so you get a mighty-amalgamated-hyper-killing-virus that's going to kill the planet to death.
Bugger, with the winter coming back, all the birds will be moving down south so next year they'll come back with bird-swine-aids-AK47 flu... we're fooked!

Odd that they managed to find a new and improved plague, just in time for next years election and the restricted civil movement orders required to ensure it doesnt take place! . . . . . . I'm off to make a tinfoil hat from a set of Ferrari sills to stop winky stealing / taxing my brain waves

I just can't see any way for us on this small island, to protect ourselves from people from other islands on the other side of the world.
if only we had some government department that was set up to monitor our borders and stop planes and boats from landing on this little island.
Surely we are btter suited to protect ourselves than just about every one else in the world!
