With bird ‘flu striking fear into many people around the world, and politicians flapping ineffectually, as they do, what’s the true situation with this disease?

Normally, we’d seek medical opinion, but that’s split down the middle. Maybe, then, the academic specialists, the virologists? No, they’re fighting each other too. Where can we go for sound advice on bird ‘flu?

On a website called “Supernatural” you’d expect a bit more than physics. A touch of metaphysics is called for here. Where else, then, than Jonathan Cainer, an astrolger we’ve written about before.

Jonathan is quite blunt in his opinions and predictions, which gives you a chance to hold him to them. He was spot on about the aftermath of the London bombings last year. So what are his views about bird ‘flu:

“Bird Flu is not going to be a problem on anywhere near the scale that some folk fear. Nor, though, is it an entirely false alarm,” he says.

The disease will be contained by medical science and may not mutate into a spread-by-human form. We can all sleep sound in our beds and not get too alarmed by reports that it’s on our doorstep.

That’s a relief. The latest case is Europe was just 70 miles from my door.
