Bird Flu Getting Closer?

The French news service AFP is reporting: A German minister claimed that deadly bird flu was moving closer to infecting humans in Europe after two more cats died of the virus, while China reported its 10th human fatality.

Bird flu cases were also found in Sweden and Albania.

Who is in charge in the U.S. of protecting us from an outbreak? Let's hope it's not the Department of Homeland Security. I don't think duct tape and plastic sheeting will do "a heckava job."
