Don't worry about the bird flu. The BBC is the one station that has been talking about it for over a year, more than any other station. They take it more serious than anybody else. Remember bird flu has been around for years. I think H5N1 was first noticed in hongkong in 1998 or so. It still has not mutated, and we don't know if it will. Moreover, nobody knows where those flu epidemics from 1958 and 1918 came from. It might not have come from the birds.
I worry much more about "worried about you". Will I get to see it? Or maybe will it mutate into "Let it loose". If I get to see "Let it loose", then at least I can die in peace.
