I find it amusing most people so far have chosen to deride an article which they could not read unless they are a speed reader.

This is a long article. I suspect more rational discussion will come at a later time.

In the meantime, enjoy the mockery!

Just joking. I am not blowing off the bird flu thing. In fact, I think the Y2K business made problems for everyone, because of the "crying wolf" scenario. It's hard to take them seriously now.

In the event that we have no water, I think we should all look into THIS product.

This article is concerning, especially the part about, of all the flu strains throughout history that have been genetically studied, H5N1 is most like the 1918 pandemic virus, but even more deadly.

That's not speculation- it's actual verified genetic structure. The 1918 virus mutated into human-to-human form and the fact that H5N1 is so similar is obviously not good news.
