I don’t know how you feel about this whole bird flu nonsense, but I couldn’t give a fig. 

If it does cross the species divide and start going from human to human, it’ll start by wiping out the elderly and infirm. Result? Lots more cheap property on the market.

Look at this chap, he had the bird flu and now they’re giving him an award (or something, I didn’t read it all)- it’s not exactly Necrotising Fasciitis is it?

UPDATE: For anyone who didn’t realise that images of a flesh eating bacteria might be somewhat grim, don’t click on the Necrotising Fasciitis link above if you’re eating a sandwich.
