Er..Bird Flu?!

Uh huh..

[PissAndVinegar]

Ridiculous....
" Bird flu has killed more than 60 people in four Asian nations since late 2003 and has been found in birds in Russia and Europe."

Let's get some perspective:
How many have died from the 'plain old' flu in this time period?
From Drunk drivers?
From food poisoning?
From an infection after stubbing their toe?

Can we mobilize the military against the citizens if there are mass toe stubbings?

Bird flu is one possible precursor of a pandemic which is a statistically an absolute certainty.

Care to go back in history (you only need to go back to the 1960's) and look at the death tolls?

Yes bird flu. Read into it, this is not a chicken little event.
