This made me laugh - last night I saw the promo for an upcoming made-for-TV movie about the outbreak of Avian Flu on our shores. Looked to be nearly a carbon copy of the movie "Outbreak", except instead of Ebola, it's the Avian Flu causing the national panic. One clip from the movie said there were 30 million dead.

What lunatic writes this garbage? Pure fantasy, but sadly to many uniformed people will fall for it and join the multitudes demanding the Government protect them.

I don't want government to protect me, but when one's closest neighbors are 170,000 chickens, one pays close attention to what is going on.

I have been following the poultry industry in regard to AF for some 20 years on DelMarVA. The public/private sector cooperation in regard to an outbreak is pretty amazing.

I'm not a scientist, nor do I have any financial interest in the poultry industry - I'm just fascinated with how outbreaks of the disease are handled in the region I live..........I also like to eat chicken!!!!
