When the bird flu was first identified in India, the press released similar statments about hot weather preventing its spread. Considering the spread of H5N1 over the years in the tropical countries of Asia, these statements can be easily dismissed as blatant lies.

Speculation is the only tool we have with a threat that can circle the globe in 30 days. Test results&news is slow.Factor in human conditions,politics, money&bingo!The truth!Facts come after the fact.

It may be that the flu will spread faster because people will be crammed together in small spaces to take advantage of air conditioning. I live in Phoenix--almost as hot as Saudi Arabia--and I have seen some of the nastiest pulmonary infections in the summer. People travel more (especially by air) in the summer, providing more direct vectors for the spread of virii. |

Time to open the windows and set out the fans!
P.S. It might be a bad idea to place bird feeders near open window fans...
