Supposed to be every 30/40 years then a pandemic outbreak occurs.
Just waiting I suppose but loads of it is media hype, just like BSE/CJD, flesh eating bug, MRSA which has been about for at least 20 years

I live near a wild life wetland area and a flock of dodgy looking foreign geese flew in yesterday. I am sure one of them was coughing........

Just pray it does not mutate.
How will you blokes who say it will weed out the frailer members of the community feel if it gets you as well? No one is immune so far.
Wonderful to see that they have ensured they have enough anti viral treatment for all the MP's and Councillors of course.

All those pervs that sh@g chickens must be worried!!
Maybe the Avian flu will only mutate into a 'Get the Chavs' strain
Maybe that 70's BBC program Survivors about the aftermath of a Flu pandemic was a true vision after all!! (oops - showing my age but still not as old as PS Lewis)
