If bird flu jumps to an airborne human version, get a pneumonia shot.

After having the flu, a weakened immune system will be more susceptible to pneumonia. The shot offers protection from the second wave die-off. It's cheap, available, and lasts a lifetime.

And you can get it now.

I am thinking about creating a hole in the cellar (as in Silence of the Lambs) and putting me a dentist down there just for standby ;-)

Get a Podiatrist instead, they're usually fat and have bad feet....If they get away...it's easier to chase them down...

Does anyone here know how many HUMANS have actually DIED thus far from this flu? I have a feeling the MSM is trying to scare folks AGAIN this year as they did last year with their panicky "Flu Vaccine Shortage" stories.
