queen has passed away today. It was because of her, how she had the courage to demand respect. It was her and those that stood with her, and supported her, and all of those like her, in that era had the courage to do the same in thier corner of America, that we, not only black people, but all Americans, can enjoy any of the freedoms and inalienable that we are promised in the Great Documents of Our Nation. I agree with the Neville Brothers “Thank you, Miss Rosa.”

During the 2003 to 2004 outbreak of avian influenza A (H5N1) virus in Asia, there were anecdotal reports of fatal infection in domestic cats, although this species is considered resistant to influenza. We experimentally inoculated cats with H5N1 virus intratracheally and by feeding them virus-infected chickens. The cats excreted virus, developed severe diffuse alveolar damage, and transmitted virus to sentinel cats. These results show that domestic cats are at risk of disease or death from H5N1 virus, can be infected by horizontal transmission, and may play a role in the epidemiology of this virus. (link)
