Avian Flu
Captain Dave believes that Avian Influenza, also known as Bird Flu, and specifically H5N1, is a serious long-term threat. After spreading through Asia, it is today ,aking its way into Europe and Africa. When the flu evolves to the point that it can easily transfer from human-to-human, experts expect that we will have only two weeks before outbreaks of the human disease appear in the U.S . Prepare now, before it is too late.
