Reply #113: kitchenwitch you ain't gonna get avian flu [View All]

[pitohui]

right now i'm too lazy to look up the number of chickens destroyed in the usa every yr to prevent the spread of avian flu -- but the us dept. of agriculture is v. aggressive abt containing this disease

there is a $$$ motive to be that way

we have really aggressive protocols for containing this disease, i am not even aware of ONE poultry worker, much less a civilian, in the usa who has ever contracted avian flu

there may be some, but it would be VERY rare

look it makes world headlines when a poultry worker in vietnam gets avian flu

please don't be scared, life is too short

good people are aware of this issue

this disease will be aggressively contained, remember SARS?
