Numpty 2 Posted January 19, 2016 Apparently if you contacted Spanish Flu in 1918/1919 and are still with us the anti bodies are still present in the blood which may give you better odds of surviving bird flu than other who did not contract it in 1918/19 http://www.scientificamerican.com/podcast/episode/D77771EC-0E73-6566-F2DED33F4F7114EE/?print=true Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,013 Posted September 8, 2022 A bottlenose dolphin found dead in a Florida canal this past spring tested positive for a highly virulent strain of bird flu. The announcement came a week after Swedish officials reported that they had found the same type of avian influenza in a stranded porpoise. This version of the virus, which has spread widely among North American and European birds, has affected an unusually broad array of species. But these findings represent the first two documented cases in cetaceans, a group of marine mammals that includes dolphins, porpoises and whales. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
