I think it's likely that the West Nile is what we (here in Fort Worth, TX) need to look out for (we live on a creek and have lots of mosquitoes). I do see a Google ad promoting "avian flu kits" at the bottom of this thread.

Personally I agree with Sinsull--it looks like we're more in danger of the "Wag the Dog" flu than the avian flu right now. But it isn't fiction, so keeping an eye on reports isn't a bad idea. I just wish the politics didn't pollute the message to such an extent that we could hear what we actually NEED to hear regarding this health threat.
