Rick,
Thanks for those papers...
[It wasn't, of course, that I doubted the validity of the concern (that is, of the virus, or viral potential, itself)....it's just that I like to know the specifics...the theory behind the phenomenon.]
It seems in large part that the concern comes from the present mortality figures themselves, though the second paper directly alludes to "several lines of evidence" i.e. different anti-genic properties and gene constellations, expanded host range etc.
