Could Bird Flu ground US Airways?

:)
Bird flu? Get real. 63 people have died worldwide since 2003 from this. How many die in the US alone each year from the run of the mill regular influenza virus? Just something to keep 24 hour news channels going.

The potential problem is if we see mutation from birds to humans.

You are right. Not a problem if it disappers or dies on it's own.

Believe Branson was talking about the mutation theory, and only time will tell.

In the meantime, all we have to do is watch and wait... :)
