"It's never happened and I doubt it ever will."

Ever considered reading some history? 1918, for instance?

Actually, I think it would be smart and profitable to convince people that this "bird flu" will probably mutate into a computer "virus". Then I could get some geeks-for-hire to go around the country installing some super-duper "Windows Wiper" software designed to wipe the bird crap off computer monitor screens at startup.

I could get as rich as a generator salesman before Y2K.

Farrakahn is going to accuse the Administration of using the vaccine as cover to give the bird flu to black children.

I got my tamiflu and relenza ready.. in my disaster kit...hubby wrote the prescriptions!

What's the shelf life for Tamiflu? (Nothing worse than paying for a drug that expires before you need it.)

In that case, purchasing Tamiflu seems like a prudent idea. I think I'll disuss this with my doctor. Unless your hubby is available to e-mail me a prescription. LOL (only kidding)

Yes, they are starting to. It has taken them months (years?) but they are finally recognizing it may be a serious threat. That's some sort of progress, I suppose?
