   Branswell: Pandemic risk hasn't risen, disease experts say

Via the Vancouver Sun, Helen Branswell's latest flu story: Pandemic risk hasn't risen, disease experts say.

In the absence of human cases, the spread of the virus merely represents the expansion of the range of the H5N1 epizootic, or epidemic in birds, suggested Dr. Guenael Rodier, a leading infectious disease epidemiologist with the World Health Organization in Europe. 
"It's not fine, but it's not unexpected. And as long as we're dealing only with migratory birds being found here and there, I don't think it's a big deal, frankly," Rodier said Monday from Copenhagen.
