The last time bird flue came up on the news around here was when Cheney had his little hunting accident. Then it all went quiet again.

I am interested in what else is happening each time they raise the spectre of death as a result of this disease - a good way to bury bad news, as a spin doctor in the UK said at the time of 9/11. Give people something to fear and maybe it stops them from looking at the real problems.....
