Deny ignorance
The threat of a flu pandemic never went away, pehaps they know something you DONT, giving you a warning without causing to much panic, as there is
nothing anyone can do if bird flu reaches your country. Knowing this containment is the best option but only delays the problem.
anyway i wont go on about this as it has been extensivle done on another thread
and if you would like to know more visit this

We watched this in the uk a couple of days ago, another roud about warning that an outbreak could be imminent.
Take heed, it is better to be prepared than to be cought out. Trust me on this one.
