Default Bird Flu mutates in Indonsia

Looks like it moved person to person.
Fortunately this strain did not manage to get any further than one family.
But it happened.

I am sure the sky will start falling any second now.

Modern people are so (*)(*)(*)(*) spoiled. We have no idea what a real epidemic is like. We freak out over the most trivial crap.

In the old days they didn't have people traveling across the world on plains within hours.
Yes, it is overhyped. But then again so is our fear of constant terrorist attacks.
It gets scariert when something happens.

The death rate for bird flu is 50%. This is a serious issue, its only a matter of time until it becomes a pandemic and kills massive amounts of people. I have no doubt that members of your family and my family will die from bird flu within the decade.

I am at least grateful the Canadian government is stockpiling enough tamiflu doses for the whole population. It may increase our chances of living slightly.

Default I'm not very good with geography...

I've even tried to google it and can't find Indonsia anywhere on the globe. Should I be sueing my geography teachers?

True. But consider this. Many more 'mercans died from flu last year than from terror attacks. Everyone has their trivial crap I guess.

Default antidote to bird flu

I have done alot of testing and reasearch on the avian flu and have decided that the best plan of attack to stop bird flu from ever appearing agian on earthis to......get all the birds to fly in a big room then shoot them, and then we should all walk around with pistols in our pockets and shoot any birds that are still alive. THIS IS A WORLD WIDE EFFORT, EVERYONE HAS TO DO THEIR PART.

problem solved.

If I didn't hate to do so I'd type "LOL" here.
