Off topic : H5N1 Virus


hello there
i have heard a lot about the H5N1 virus
the virus which is found in the intestine of birds has every
possibility to mutate itself in the future and become contagious
between human beings
the first case of the virus in human beings was found in hong kong and
the first death reported was in indonesia
are the governments doing anything about it
