Dear Sir/Madam,
It is so nice to be able to hear your Webcast interview with Alan Sipress and the account of events given has provided me with an insight of the infectious nature of the H5N1 disease! I believe from Alan's account that facial masks will provide some form or measure of protection from getting infected with the H5N1 virus! This was evident from the fact that during his visit to an animal and poultry farm in Thailand where most of the birds were said to be infected,in addition Alan has also visited the ICU ward where H5N1 infected patients stayed!
I could sense that protective measures taken by Alan while visiting the bird farm in Thailand where there are infected birds and also about his visit to the ICU ward with infected patients : showed a hypothesis that Alan has come into contact with a highly- charged H5N1 viral enviroment. And that he escaped being infected.I guess the two enviroments ie the ICU and the poultry farms and animal-human contacts have different mechanisms to infect humans.
Hope I right. Ending here.Thank you.
