I don't recall ever seeing a report that any lab technicians were ever infected with H5N1. Same thing with SARS. So look on the bright side! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Actually, it's interesting to note that workers who have to cull millions of infected chickens haven't really gotten H5N1 either--at least that I've heard. Many have been given Tamiflu as protection, I'm sure, but probably not everyone, and yet no transmission yet. So, during a pandemic, maybe chicken culler would be a good occupation to be in--lot's of work available, you get to stay active, nobody messes with you. What's not to like? <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
