I was reading last night. I couldn't find the same article today or I would list it for you here.
A Chinese health official was worried because in his country they have both h5n1 which is usually fatal but not easily transmitted and now they are getting h1n1(present day swine flu and easily transmittable). His concern was that if the two of them became resident in the same body whether human or animal that there could be a fatal and easily
transmitted disease mutation if the two combine in any one body (human or animal) and it gets loose. Also, there are now reports in China of dogs getting h1n1 in China. We also have reports in the U.S. of many cats dying from h1n1 in addition to pigs. Heads up.
