Triple Threat: Middle East Respiratory Virus And 2 Bird Flus
Is the world on the verge of a pandemic? There are three reasons to think so. Two flu viruses are active, and a virus that bears a resemblance to SARS has cropped up in the Middle East. Each has devastating potential, but many early warnings of past pandemics have failed to materialize.

I find the Respiratory virus more worrying than the bird flues. We have a lot of experience with bird flu, which doesn't mean that can be underestimated, but we are still new to the forms that Sars can assume. I still remember the chaos spread by that epidemic a few years ago: a new one will challenge our ability to face and prevent a pandemic event.
