Is anyone worried about this Bird Flu pandemic that's going to kill us all?

Me either.

nope. It's a diversionary tactic to distract us from high gas prices and the war.

It's always going to be something. West nile, no flu vaccines, small pox....... when I get it-then I'll worry. (and even then it won't be as bad as they say).

Not worried a bit. Roadside memorials, though, that one's got me sitting up at night.

This is THE big story on Fox this morning. ED and crew aren't talking about it much, but it's the lead story each time they cut to the real news.
