The time for pushing and shoving is NOW! AHHHH!
I think I feel a scratch in the back of my throat.
Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

Besides, my immune system isnt too bad nowadays. I'll live.
The problem with bird flu though is the fact that because it doesn't normally affect our species, we have little or no natural immunity to it, which is why it makes it so deadly to humans.
Live like there is no tomorrow,
dance like nobody is watching
and hula hoop like wiggling will save the world.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

Oh well media is weird. Who know what they will decide is worth telling us, and what isn't.
Kind of makes me wonder though 'bout the conspiracy therories of the bird flu. I mean if there is an easy herbal remedy, why is it going to be a pandemic? And if it is why not tell as many people about the herbal remedy as you can?
I thought I waz just dreammin'?!!??!!??!! Dis place can't really be real.

There's an AIDs epidemic in Afirca, but thats not on TV. So is that not happening either?
Whilst I don't belive that Bird Flu will be as bad as predicted (seeing as the media has blown every other thing out of proportion, just to sell papers etc), I think its a bad idea to ignore it completly.
If the disease mutates (which it most likely will) we're going to have some mighty sick people on our hands. Ignoring it or saying its not going to happen when there is a very high chance that it will just seems a bit silly to me.
I just hope my local KFC doesn't close. They should just give out a free shot with every bucket of chicken purchased.
