There is a risk, and the U.S. is way past overdue for an overhaul of our healthcare non-system. That said, probably 95% or more of medical reporting to the public is done in such a poor manner that it does lots more harm than good. Journalists typically have way too little science background, and the panic-of-the-week is a corollary of the dictum "if it bleeds it leads."

Avian Flu is definitely a possibility... My dad and my best firends mum boith work for the CFIA (Canadian FOod INspection Agency) and my dad deals mainly with BSE and her mum deals mainly with Avian flu, and i know OFR A FACT that it is still a problem, but north american countries don't have much to worry about. Although it is still a possibility, Norht America is very good at protecting itself against things like this.

I think that this was just too scare us. Remember the SARS outbreak in Toronto? Everyone was scared about getting SARS blah blah blah.. but it turns out that the outbreak wasnt that bad and that the government blew it all out of porportion to test Canada's emergency diseise and pandemic plans. Maybe they r just blowing bird flu out of porportion for the exact same reason.
COME ON! ITS THE FLU ITS THERE EVERY YEAR

Hi Lamplight
More scare tactics to create a drug for people to have control and more money.
Question: How does anyone differentiate the symptoms of AVIAN FLU (bird flu) from the symptoms of REGULAR FLU?

The Great Bird Flu Hoax: The Truth They Don't Want You to Know About the "Next Big Pandemic"
The U.S. government is now practically screaming that a new avian super-flu will likely kill millions of Americans. The mainstream media is entirely onboard, as are drug companies and other corporations poised to benefit immensely off the paranoia. But there is NO coming bird flu pandemic. It's an elaborate scheme contrived by the government and big business for reasons that boil down to power and money. Presenting eye-opening evidence that casts serious doubt on the truthfulness of reports about the virus's ability to transmit, and its mortality rates around the world, renowned physician Dr. Joseph Mercola reveals the secrets about the great bird flu hoax. In compelling fashion he provides you the real facts you need to know to protect you from a far greater ill - corporate and governmental greed.
Best of health to you
