QUOTE OF THE DAY

"Because we haven't seen severe illness and deaths yet, I think there's been some complacency around trying to control this virus [H5N1], but I've always said we shouldn't wait for farm workers to die before we take action to protect them. I just don't think you should gamble with people's lives like that."

— Jennifer Nuzzo, director of the Pandemic Center and?professor of epidemiology at Brown University School of Public Health,? The Guardian
