What probably happpened to all the bird flu news is that the radio and TV folks found out that folks would prefer to listen to other stories, and bird flu was no longer a draw.

That's true Bill. All the hysterical monitering we had in the UK press earlier this year, as been replaced by the much more important news about Kate Moss's on/off wedding.
I did a quick internet search, because there hasn't been anything in the newspapers recently re:avian flu. This interesting story seems to suggest that genetic susceptability might be at play, and thus is harder for it to mutate to humans than first thought. Sadly that story really doesn't make headlines though.
