    Do you seriously think that bird flu virus can be contagious in aeroplanes? I don't know for sure but since some days, that has been popping in my mind all the time.. I've bought tamiflu to be on the safe side but i'm still very concerned!!
    As the migratory birds continue to spread the avian flu virus throughout the world, your common lifestyle could endanger you. Maybe you should wonder whether you really are prepared in case of a new pandemic.

    For example, Dr Iea Longini, a well known biostatistician warns keen travelers that they should avoid travelling by air, because “Aero planes re-circulate air which is ideal for spreading a flu virus throughout the whole cabin.”

    To birds yes. To people, very, very, very unlikely.
