The short answer is: No." "...bearing in mind that the discovery a new mammal-mediated virus does not mean a human pandemic is inevitable."

"To date, influenza has not been detected in the La Jolla seals."

"The discovery begs the question: Is there an immediate risk to harbor seals in the La Jolla Children’s pool and, subsequently, to the public?
The short answer is: No."

You kind wonder why the courts prior to the amendment of the trust ruled the way they did, for the safety of the people!
