2. It worries me that they say "Don't worry."

7. Well life ends, that's the only sure thing...

Can't do a damn thing other than stock up some Tamiflu. It is totally obvious, Bushco is looking to kill 1/5 of the earth. I firmly believe this, it totally fits their thinking. What a great little present for President Barfly.

3. Nothing on the CDC site yet...

The N. Carolina strain was NOT H5N1, it was an H3 virus (only H5 and H7 are considered to be highly pathogenic).

4. There was a false alarm in Canada recently, too

also not H5N1.

Funny that this should break overnight in everyone else's time zone, though :scared:

5. Canada did have h5n1

but it was low path.

6. Remember...bird flu is not uncommon among birds

It's when they transfer to people that it's such a big concern. As long as these strains aren't doing that, we're okay.

8. I like birds, esp ducks and chickens...

this is just the beginning. China is actually innoculating 14 billion chickens and ducks. WHY ARENT WE DOING THIS FOR OUR DOMESTIC FOWL? that's what I wanna know.


Answer: Bush wants it to mutate and kill everyone. Its obvious. Know them by their actions. He doesn't care about Black people. He doesn't care about poor people. He is evil incarnate.

9. These strains are common among birds...

And are mild...it poses no risk, and isn't really even news!
