Sensationalist Bird Flu tripe.

Bird flu could kill 100,000 British children: report

There are so many ifs and buts with the bird flu thing that it really isn't something people should be worrying about. It's totally irrelevant that there has been this one case in an isolated part of Scotland, it doesn't mean that Britain is any more peril than it was 2 weeks ago.

Plus the headline talking about deaths of children but a pandemic is likely to affect all ages in fact if a pandemic was to occur that's anything like the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic then fit and healthy adults will be just as likely to be killed by it.

If this H5N1 strain of Avian flu ever does cross over and become infectious from human to human then would be the time that people might be justified to feel a little panic, but at the moment it is just sensationalist bollocks.
