Would you ALL calm down about Bird Flu
Advertisements [?]
Everyone is in a panic about the same old rehashed info. This means NO ONE really knows. This could kill us all or flash out to nothing, NO ONE at this time can tell you. I tend to look at the past. What happened to the Hong Kong Flu, the Swine Flu, SARS. This also was supposed to kill millions but DID NOT. Not even close. Look, the media love to play this stuff up. Anything to get eyeballs to watch their shows and read their papers. I think it's now time to step back and take a common sense look at this.
