"The virus has killed more than 200 people worldwide since 2003, most of them in Asia, and millions of birds either died from it or been killed to prevent its spread."

"The virus has killed more than 200 people worldwide since 2003"
200 people in 4 years?!? This is a NON-STORY.
More people have died from the common cold in that time than bird flu. More people are murdered in any medium-sized city in 1 year than people have died worldwide of bird flu in 4 years. How many THOUSANDS have been killed by Muslim terrorists in 4 years' time? Yet no one seems to care about that.
Perspective, people. Once again, turn the TV off, get your face out of the Internet "news", and close Time Magazine. Get out there in your own communities and try to make a difference. Ride public transportation.... Teach somebody to read.... Pick up trash.... Volunteer at a homeless shelter.... (YAWN) Is ANY of this sinking in?
The sky is not falling. Turn off the panic. Take care of your own lives instead of worrying about everyone else's.

When I was a little girl, having rabbit and squirrel on the table didn't bother me. We were told when I reached my teens that we shouldn't have that anymore, something about radio-active rain that the squirrel got from being in the rain. I wonder if there is a home test for such diseases. They need to develop something that can detect those things in the home.
