Headlines on the papers today about the huge killer flu heading for britain - is this because our government is suspicious that biological weapons will be used on us by the iraqis?

Makes sense if you ask me......

I was thinking about it for a while this morning and it makes sense that they would prepare without causing mass hysteria.

yeah but a biological weapon would devestate imediatley, i.e kill hundreds/thousands at anyone time
where as the flu might pick of one or two a day, if it is a cover up think they need a better cover.

I'd like to see someone actualy make a flu virus. it is very difficult to do. 8 strands of RNA as a genome muhahaha. even making normal virions from the bare genomic strands is hard but actually mutating it to somethign which is infectous is not likely
