Avian flu is starting to remind me of this: The emperor has no clothes
Seriously, how many have died?

Edit: On a more positive note, at least it will stop the locals quibbling about the Forth and Tay bridge tolls which currently have a double-page spread in my local newspaper...

Re: Bird Flu in UK
The longer the virus lives on, the more likely it is to mutate, AFAIK.
But I am beginning to have seroius doubts about whether it ever will.

When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.

Oh no! My bird-dropping fetish will have to be put on hold for a while else I have an extremely small chance of getting bird flu!
Wonder how many million have been killed by regular flu whilst H5N1 has killed 100. Still, the potential for hell could be there.
Re: Bird Flu in UK
actually people, we really DO have to panic.... its killed 200 people worldwide!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
