Bird flu

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

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.

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

It doesn't worry me really.

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!:(

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.

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.

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?
