Aloha Bill,
That is an old press release from early 2006. Unfortunately, the info in the release has been totally discredited.
1. Human-to-human transmission is a reality...
NYTimes -- "Human Flu Transfers May Exceed Reports"
2. As is upper-respiratory tract infection...
The Standard -- "Researchers shed new light on workings of deadly H5N1 virus"
The information changes so fast -- that is what allows me to turn my hotsheet into a subscription based service.
Aloha,
Jason
