This is very disturbing. People eating dead poultry and getting sick from H5N1. It's also happening in India where individuals who don't know about bird flu and don't see it as a problem. If a chicken dies you don't waste it, you eat it.

We need to keep pandemic preparedness at the forefront of every business manager's mind. It won't go away so better start preparing.

For free references, resources and to join their free pandemic preparedness email eCourse program, go to Bird Flu Manual Online or, if you need more comprehensive tutorials, tools and templates, consider Bird Flu D-I-Y eManual for your influenza pandemic preparedness.
