It seems as if I hear or read something about bird flu every day. The virus has either killed another 30,000 birds in one country, appeared for the first time in another country, or is knocking on the door of this country. Just today, the news is that bird flu will appear in the US before the year is out. On NPR this morning (yeah, it’s moonbat radio) I heard a report about how important it is for every American household to stock up on emergency supplies, and be prepared with a 2 month supply. Really? While there has always been a ‘disaster readiness’ community in the US, I’d doubt that 2% of Americans are sitting around worrying about when bird flu will hit their neighborhood.
The fact is, we’re about as worried about bird flu as we are about the next terrorist attack on US soil, and therein lies the real problem. The epidemic of complacency. You got it. I got it. We all got it. Eventually, something will shake it. Will that something be bird flu? Will it be nukes from Iran? Will it be the bombing of a high rise building?
But in the meantime, who’s gonna get kicked off American Idol this week?
oh yeah, if it hadn’t already. Its all a matter of temperature. once the US gets warner (1-3 months) – the bird flu will hit, no doubt about it.
In the recent months, I am monitoring bird flu events using this url:
