WHO- Dick Thomson - BBC Interview

Here are links to a current interview from the BBC with Dick Thomson from the WHO. It is remarkably dull and clearly downplays any suggestion of an imminent risk. What I did find interesting however, was an ever so subtle hint of politics at play e.g. the new WHO Director-General, who herself is well acquainted with avianflu and pandemicflu matters.

Re: WHO- Dick Thomson - BBC Interview

Mr. Thomson asserts there is no H2H at this time. He tied each of two recent infections to direct contact with birds.

Hopefully this is an "older" interview. The headlines posted here and at sister websites, which are direct translations of local, in country newspaper articles, report highly suspect cases wherein there is bimodal infection (one after the next with time gaps), and infections in which there is no obvious direct association with birds. Those news articles do not at all parallel or support Mr. Thomson's assertion in this BBC interview.

NB At the end of his interview, he reissues the "warning", "Be Prepared". However, he also says maybe not now and maybe not this virus.
