Are you kidding? One advantage to living in NYC (and traveling on the subways) is that you get one tough thug of an immune system going...it would stand there pointing and laughing at the scary H5N1...if someone's sick anywhere in the world we pretty much get it here if the vectors can survive the plane flight. During flu season it would show up as a medium-sized blip in emergency room statistics but that's it. -TD

So, if you were a Handler, would you try to score some H5N1 asian flu for NYC, or would you convince a pre-symptomatic Angolan to fly into Rome?
Just curious.
