Re: H1N5 (and Bakker's virus extinction hypothesis) now H5N1



Pandemic might have done pretty well because of the bad habit
predators have of not properly cooking their food.

They tend to have accordingly strong stomach juices, however.

I suspect that disease was just one of the nails
in the coffin of non-avian dinos. Especially when the cold nuclear
night set in and immune systems were lowered around the globe.

By then, however, population densities were probably too low to enable diseases to spread across continents.
