VOICED: Recomiendan revelar datos sobre gripe avia

A non-governmental panel of scientific and security experts in the U.S. has approved the full publication of two studies on mutant avian flu, reversing a previous decision to withhold key details. The studies demonstrate how a lab-generated H5N1 virus can be airborne among neurons. Initially, experts feared the information could lead to a deadly flu pandemic if misused. However, new evidence suggests understanding specific mutations can enhance global surveillance, public health, and safety. The avian flu is highly lethal, killing over half of those infected, and has caused several deaths this year in China, Cambodia, and Indonesia. Since 2003, there have been 573 human cases of H5N1 across 15 countries, with a fatality rate of 58.6%, according to the WHO.
