Bloomberg says 30 nations are looking to loosen their patent laws to get Tamiflu produced--intersting on an economic, and a viral front. Is there too much focus on something the virus can literally just step around?

If it wasn't clear before, it is now. Migratory birds are carrying bird flu.
Dr. Walter Boyce, is the director of the Wildlife Health Center at the University of California, Davis. He says the migrating birds in the Pacific flyway on the west coast of the United States often began their journey as far away as Siberia.
"Clearly bird flu is on the move. Our concern is wild birds as they migrate, might carry the bird flu with them. Our goal is to detect what viruses they are carrying and basically have an early warning that something might be getting ready to happen"
Increasingly, African states are stepping up import bans and surveillance programs to monitor bird flu. One nation where migratory birds have already arrived is testing fowl for birds.

Relenza - the trade name for the drug zanamivir - is sold by GlaxoSmithKline. Some antiviral experts believe the drug may be better for some people, including pregnant women, than Tamiflu because it goes directly to the site of infection and less drug is absorbed into the blood stream.
CIDRAP has this on the FAO going to Indonesia to help "jump start" lethargic flu efforts there.
