Why won't anybody tell me which strain of avian influenza they've found in Delaware and New Jersey? I just know we'll be asked something about it in the exam.
So far I've found out: China ->H5N1
Delaware is claimed H7 not human pathogen

And if I have to look at my books one more minute, I'll go crazy - not that anybody would know the difference.
I'm going to read smut for an hour.

H7N2

(At least I think that's what you're trying to find out). And I have very little idea what that means, but I found it here:

Oh god, thanks! You wouldn't believe how long I spent on this search.
(I get a bit paranoid right before exams)

Thanks again.

Hee hee . . . no problem!

I'm really glad it helped. It was the second site I went to after putting "avian influence delaware new jersey" into the search engine - I'm thinking that it must have come up quickly for me because I'm using a search engine based in the U.S. (and maybe because my search engine is in English, whereas the one you use is in German?). I actually thought you'd probably already had this info, but figured it wouldn't hurt to send it again. Now I'm really glad I sent it.

And the CDC is pretty useful . . . I check it from time to time when there are colds and flu, or if Connor seems to have some symptom that worries me a bit (but not enough to take him to the doctor). It's a good source of info, and to find out what's actually going around at the time.

Hmmm, Google hat mir das nicht ausgespuckt.
And I did use the English one.
Sehr merkwürdig.
Probably shouldn't have searched for "avian influenca strain delaware".
Was soll's, auf jeden Fall bin ich froh das ich die Antwort jetzt habe.
