Good point. I sure hope that our medical industry is able to protect itself so that they can treat the sick and dying.
If in fact, the industry itself gets whacked, that will be one more basis for anarchy.
I live in the deep woods. I can work via the internet. If necessary, I would just hole up.
Yeah, birds never go in the deep woods so you'll be OK.
Sorry cheap shot, but it's not clear if this will be spread human to human or also bird to human. Depends on the mutation I guess.
