Ignorance is the reason people are talking about the "Avian Flu" in the first place. There is no evidence whatsoever that the avian flu
is going to mutate into conveniently being transmittable from human-to-human.
Every virus on the planet has a chance of mutating into an even more dangerous form--including the most potentially lethal, ebola and HIV.
Many other things could happen. Giant meteors could slam into the Earth. The Earth could crumble from the inside. Aliens could invade. Which is more likely? Meteors.
Funny how it was the Bush Administration who was the most vocal about this issue a few months ago. Distraction? In any case, it's all of the media's fault for promoting this. Fear sells, fear controls. It's corny, but the old saying is true: "knowledge is power."
