Bird flu

[Emerald weapon]

lol Am actual crappin myself bout the bird flu n i was wondering is any else??

[rubah]

I've paid it about as much attention as I paid west nile virus.

I was sneezing like crazy friday, and this girl in my art class kept trying to tell me I had some weird form of the flu.

Twelve hours of sleep sure proved her wrong.

My business studies lecturer has a habit of reminding us of it all the time. I'm quite worried about it due to the high approximated death toll, but i'm trying to stay somewhat optimistic about it all.

[Leeza]

It doesn't have a very high priority in my thoughts, no.

[Rye]

It doesn't worry me really.

[Rocket Edge]

it doesnt worry me at all, maybe because where i live it has a very low chance of getting here. but i suppose your right... i still dont forget SARS! i admit i had my worrys then!:(

[~SapphireStar~]

I was terrified of it reaching UK shores and catching it, but Ive heard nothing about it for a while, so the media must have grown bored of it. The newspapers are just trying to work up a mass panic cause its what they do best. Forget about it, seriously, its not worth thinking about.

Just don't read the Daily Mail and it will be fine

I am SO tempted to post the o rly owl.

Lol if you dont i might :D

It's funny that bird flu has been made into such a big deal when things like the common strain of the flu, diarrhea, and pneumonia kill thousands of times more each year. So far hasn't bird flu killed less the 100 people? Sure this might warrant health concerns from the international community, but didn't SARS also warrant that concern a few years ago? And look what happened with that. If you read/watch the media too much and listen to what they have to say you'd think the world was about to end every six months.

[boris no no]

we have a geology wagon type thing at uni and someone put a big sign on it BIRD FLU VICTEMS, LEAVE YOUR DEAD HERE
it made us giggle for a bit
SARS was meant to be scary but soon dealed with that NAUGHTY ILLNESS *WHACK*

I don't play with dead chickens and stuff like that, so I think I'm good.

I came back from Thailand with a cold.

I told everyone I had bird flu....but yaknow, I dont think I did...I didn't start a pandemic as far as I'm aware. *touch wood*

I'm not worried....its all hype...what, 90 humans have died? 90/6000000000000 or something? In a global context more people die on plane crashes...
Any disease deserves to be treated with caution, I just don't want to get unduley worried about it.

[Little Jane]

our university was granted to research this so called disease....course have to agree that there is no news on it anymore......if it was that big, wouldnt they report more deaths or something?

[Chaos]

Atchally, three people have died from it in Turkey over the last few weeks...they are reporting more deaths. Its just the fact that they are reporting them is what is getting people worried I think.

[Twisted Tinkerbell]

I've not lost any sleep over it yet. And I don't intend to start.

[eestlinc]

I was so afraid of bird flu I committed suicide to protect myself.

That explains the ghostly avatar.

[escobert]

Durring th sars thing, I was sick and had been in Canada. AND the dr said I had all the I had flu and the said it could have been sars. But it I duess because I was better 3 days latter.

[Dignified Pauper]

Just shoot every chicken that crosses the road.

[Loony BoB]

Yams said my thoughts pretty much to the word.

[xX.Silver.Wings.Xx]

There's no point in thinking about it.. Theres nothing that can be done about it... Worrying about it is pointless really...

[nik0tine]

Scare tactics don't scare me anymore.

[a nirvana fan]

Well I'm not really that worried, but if it happens, then the best thing to do is to not panic I suppose, that will make it a lot worse.

[Emerald weapon]

lol that was weird,as i was about to type this reply i news report came on about it i was about to say'thanks every1''but now..........:(

[Zeldy]

Oh god. It dosn't bother me in the slighest. Like when they said don't eat meat, did i eat meat? Heck yes!

[IceT]

I don't play with dead chickens and stuff like that, so I think I'm good.

That is so true. On the news they reported that three children died of bird flu and in the background videos they showed children who were playing catch with blooded chicken heads covered in mud instead of a ball.

It's one of the times I think 'well duh, how could they have not been infected'.

[FutureEmperor]

Bird flu will only be bad news if it mutates so that it can be spread from human to human, and the likelyhood of that its acctually really low,

it just goes to show you the news motto of "If it bleeds, it leads" is true.

[Rengori]

To be honest I won't care until it reaches US shores. Hopefully it doesn't happen during the Super Bowl, or no one will know.
