Daily flu thermometer ... by gimleteye

Medical journalist Helen Branswell points to an excellent flu story on NPR this morning, to be broadcast on local public radio station WLRN. The speed with which scientists have been able to identify the possible agent of pandemic flu is unbelievable. Isn't it interesting to think how quickly we can mobilize science and incredible technologies to protect humanity from a microscopic virus for which we have no immunity, yet when it comes to violence we do to each other and the environment, we are still in the Stone Age.
