If you're like me, you've probably dismissed news articles about the bird flu as having little or no impact on your life. Think again! Did you know that the World Health Organisation lists the risk of a pandemic as serious and likely? Have a look at the WHO website for detailed information.
The world is currently at level 3 (out of 6) alert, and once we reach level 4, it seems that nothing will prevent us from going all the way to level 6. It's not a pretty picture.
UPDATE: if you read the comment below, you'll see that Tim has kindly provided another website about alerts - thanks for your input!

Hi Tamara,
I am a long time reader of your blog. I like your article on Alert levels. I wanted to point out an even better use of the concept of alert. There is a site www.avianalert.com that alerts people all around the world and has people on every continent signed up for there service.
Hope you can use this in your blog!
Tim
