The sky is falling

Everybody relax. There have been 121 cases of bird flu in humans since 1997. All of them got it from either handling chickens or eating undercooked chicken. It’s not transmittable from human to human. It could theoretically mutate, but then again, I could theoretically mutate into Superman. It’s just the same old there-isn’t-enough-vaccine-quick-go-get-a-shot scare that happens every fall, only more so. I expect, if it hasn’t happened already, that talk radio commercials will be extolling the efficacy of grapeseed oil and gold in combatting the bird flu.
