Much better
I am feeling much better now. My sickness is almost completely gone, but some of my friends are still suffering from the flu. Recently there has been a lot of concern with the avian flu virus, and it seems that some strains of it have made its way even to Croatia. In the past that particular disease seemed endemic to the Far East, but the World is a much smaller place now. It is also particularly disturbing that the 1918 flu pandemic has jumped directly from birds to humans, with relatively little genetic modification. Dangers of something like that happening again seem very real.
