Captain Trips ! (And Swine Flu ...?)

Has anyone notised how similar this whole h5n1 'bird flu' hysteria is reminiscent of "The Stand" by Stephen King? ...Just throwing that out there.

At any rate.

Apparently the human-bird transmission is wholly unlikely (as has been speculated). However, the threat may be greater in a more round-about way. The particular strain of 'bird flu' we are looking at is easily transmitted to pigs (swine flu). It is this 'swine flu' that is much more transmissable to humans. (I have read speculation that the 1918 strain was possibly passed through this method).

Funny... through this whole thing that's all I can think about.
*Wonders about the pregnancy immunity thing*
*Wonders where Flagg is... lolz*

Like a page right out of King's book.

Are ya'll stocking up on foodstuffs and meds yet?

Bird Flu is not Captain Trips. Tamiflu is not made by Gilead Sciences. There is no North Central Positronics.

I'm safe in Dogon 19.

Flagg is the "walking dude"... George Walker Bush.
