hii tia
you must be reading a lot about bird flu
if you dont know bird flu is a virus that has spread to a lot of countries and has got trasnfered from birds to humans
people are falling sick and also dying from it
the governments are trying their best to invent a vaccines for it
in the meanwhile they are giving flu shots like tamiflu to the patients
as demand is more the drug is running in short supply
as a result they buy the drug from online pharmacies

The virus is not airborn..
It spreads from direct contact..
The virus has not transmuted to the point where it can spread form person to person.

Person to person is direct contact

All cases of avian flu have been caused ny direct contact with infected fowl...no cases have been reported of a person to person infection...
