Response To About The Flu

I didn't find out a whole not of new information on H1N1 but I did learn about something new. This would be H5N1. This is a similar flu as H1N1. It is going through birds and is getting some humans infected. I think that I have a lot that I can compare between H1N1 and H5N1. I'm interested to see what happens when I try to compare them. There is many things that I want to know such as what are some differences in the side affects between the two? I can't wait to compare!
