Bird Cold

Everybody is afraid of bird flu as if there is nothing else that can kill us. Right now the virus cannot go from human to human yet and we are worry. I am not saying this will not come to be a serious human decease but that it is still only a possibility. The common flu will kill thousands more this year than the bird flu. Some hospital super bug will probably kill more too. It is a strange thing, isn’t it, that we worry about some possible future killer while ignoring the things that are killing us right now? Pandemic is a big word that sounds scary, but we do not need it to kill us. Hey, you, blow your cigarette smoke away for me, thank you.
