What is your level of concern about bird flu?

[CoffeeCat]

There have been many bird-flu discussions on DU.

I thought it might be interesting to see how DUer's define their degree of concern--or lack thereof--about bird flu and the possibility of a pandemic happening.

2. Not at all concerned. More fear-mongering by that fucking chimp. n/t

3. Just pay attention to the WHO

not the CDC, not to DC, the WHO... they have no dawg in US Politics and it has been a concern for a while, the fact taht we are overdue for a pandemic mostly.

It may not happen this year, but it is a matter of when, not if. The science is solid on this, just like global warming

4. We will have total media panic because 500 people die

Five Hundred, I tell you, Five Hundred! CNN won't be able to contain itself!

5. I would feel better about it, if this government would start up those

public information broadcasting commercials reminding everyone to teach their kids to wash their hands, not share water bottles AND STAY HOME IF YOU'RE SICK!
