Bird Flu - Page 3

tracilicious · 11-22-2005, 09:08 AM

Eh. I was pretty worried when I first heard about it. Then I found out that the media had conveniently forgotten to mention that you can only get it from a bird. IF it mutates, then I will worry about it in an appropriate fashion.

In the meantime, we'll continue to keep our immune systems strong by taking vitamins and acidophilus, and eating healthy. We don't get flu shots because I refuse to put mercury and countless carcinogens into mine or my children's body. I would have to think pretty hard about a bird flu vaccine though. Then again, if it's as deadly as the media is trying to portray it, those that are going to die will probably be dead by the time a vaccine comes into circulation.

I'm keeping my eye on it. They say it can kill up to 100 million people in as little as 4 months, that seems pretty serious to me, but then again what the heck do I know!

One of the things that worries me is the collateral disruption. If quarantines are announced, what will that mean for the rest of us? What if I don't have enough food on hand? How long would I be out of work and would I have enough savings to cover the bills in the meantime? How much would infrastructure suffer?
