"AN OUTBREAK of avian flu among wild and domestic birds in Russia is spreading west and starting to approach Europe, public health officials said yesterday.
...
The virus is being carried by flocks of birds, particularly wild geese and ducks, migrating from Siberia towards warmer regions. It has moved gradually west through the regions of Novosibirsk, Tyumen, Omsk, Kurgan and Altai, as well as into Mongolia and Kazakhstan. Only in Altai, Novosibirsk and Omsk has the type of avian flu been confirmed as H5N1. "

"But if you really want to worry, then you should note what InstaPundit reader Joseph Beaulieu did -- a report that one of the books President Bush is reading on vacation is John Barry's The Great Influenza: The Epic Story of the Deadliest Plague In History. Uh oh."

I say we need to call on duck hunters of the world to shoot more ducks.
