If I hear one more word about the so-called threatened avian flu pandemic I'll blow a gasket.
Sheer media hysteria that's going to lead to overprescription of medication (tamiflu) before we even have a problem...
Let's get real - thousands and thousands of birds are already iffected. In Asia many folk actually share living quarters with infected birds and yet only a couple of hundred at most have themselves become infected by these birds. There is not one single case of 1 human infecting another.
So what are the real chances of contracting avian flu? Most folk are more likely to be hit by a bus than they are to be infected with avian flu (even in its current form AND THE CHANCES OF MUTATION ARE EVEN MORE REMOTE)
MESSAGE TO THE MEDIA -- FOR GOD'S SAKE LAY OFF THIS ISSUE....
