#H5N1 is greatest PANDEMIC threat to Britain, says health watchdog
The ‘relatively small’ number of infections detected in Britain so far is the ‘tip of a potential iceberg’.
Warning comes as the virus was detected in a sheep in Yorkshire (first time ever).

What a magnificent allocation of healthcare resources!
No wonder we pay more,and get less?
Never before have the regulated known so much more about a topic than the regulators.
The system will continue in current form until the price of the inefficiencies causes it to collapse under its own weight.

PET/MRI scanning is revolutionary.
Yearly whole body scans will look at ‘form’ and function. We will find all lumps early,know if it is metabolically active.
Full cardiac studies (MRI/MRA) will risk stratify your CVS system better than currently.
