Croatian Birds died of H5N1
It has been confirmed that the dead birds found in Croatia recently did die of H5N1. With the news, it seems more and more likely that H5N1 is spreadiung without much hinderance.
One interesting point I read the other day was that all of the known pandemics started and were in full flow before the end of October. That's not to say that a pandemic cannot happen later, but there might be social reasons for this - colder, darker nights, people less liklely to be out and about etc.
