Using Social Distancing to Combat Avian Flu

Avian influenza, or bird flu, is a virus that has much of the world’s medical and scientificcommunity concerned. The purpose of our senior thesis has been to research the originand spread of this potentially devastating disease. We also have investigated the use ofsocial distancing, i.e. reducing th...
