As the strain moves remorselessly westward, threatening a pandemic that could wipe out millions, I was heartened this morning to hear some useful advice from a Canadian banker on BBC Radio 4. “The best preparation you can make against Asian bird flu,” said this sage, “is to strengthen the quality of your investment portfolio”. Don't you just adore bankers? I am almost tempted to release hordes of Callistan Gnishii into his office.
