    I just currently read an article called "Killer-flu update'' by Janet Raloff. This article talked about a flu that has recently began occurring in China that has caused sickness to 13` people, and death to 36! The virus has now found even more ways to spread, and one of them by ignoring the drugs that are supposed to help and kill it. Studies have showed that the virus may be even caused by birds. To help test this theory scientists conducted an experiment using ferrets, and even humans themselves. When all the experiments were finished, Chinese researchers had tracked the new germ to poultry. Viruses worsen by picking up bits of genes from nearby microbes, which helps them turn even more dangerous and more infectious as well.
  
        I think this is insane, how a virus can spread through birds like that hurting so many people, and killing so many lives. Even though the Chinese researchers are working hard on solving this mystery, it's just so hectic because more and more deaths are being found each day. I really hope that medicine will be found to get rid of the virus, because it almost seems impossible since the virus is so strong that it even ignores the drugs that are meant to stop it.
