The latest from the WHO on MERS and H7N9.

That was an interesting, concise, article, thanks.
I'm going on some long international flights - routing through Dubai - in ten days. My GP actually advised me, "it may look a bit silly, but you should wear a facemask on the plane and at the airport like people do in Japan when they are sick".
I appreciated the idea, but suspect I would probably find myself on the wrong end of a cavity search if I pursued it!

If you're interesting in this sort of thing, I would suggest the ProMED mailing list as well as keeping track of EcoHealth, and see recent NY Times article here.

Unless you're flying business class, that's considered a perk and you'll have to bring your own.

Glad to see the 'net doing something more useful for this ever-shrinking world than passing porn and mongering rumours.
But please tell me "Flublogia" is going to go the way of "blogosphere," because blog is a silly enough sounding word without piling on. ;)
