I don't live in Arizona but I just wanted to say something. This is spreading rapidly, I just hope it doesn't become too bad. What are some of you thoughts on this disease, AG?

Well, I don't know much about it. But from what I've heard I think it's getting just a tad bit too much attention. (Please don't call me insensitive to the people who have died from it, I just don't think that it's big enough yet to get this kind of attention)

Important edit:
O yea, I've also heard that eating pork doesn't actually give you the flu, it is actually air born, so people out there be careful.

It's true so far the bird flu isn't a problem for humans. But you have to remember that virus' have much shorter lifespans than say humans or cows, or other creatures. Because of this they go through generations much quicker and evolve incredibly faster. It's not impossible for it to cross over to human targets.

HA! I just moved from Arizona! Anyways, I ain't ever heard of it. Is there a more specific area? I heard there was some type of flu infestation in Mexico City but I don't know what type.

Umm, i think this is pretty crazy. I doubt it will die out anytime soon, due to the fact that it is airborne. I think that the government just needs to haul a.ss to do something about it.

The death toll in Mexico City is 147.

Do you happen to know the death poll in America, Ricador? I'm just curious.

A mans town is flooding heavily. He's standing on the Roof of a supermarket. He's listening to a radio, telling everyone to leave immediately. A helicopter flies over, Saying "climb the rope!" And the man says "No my god will save me" So the helicopter flew off. A man in a boat says "Hop on!" still, he says, "My god will save me"

Well he die's, by drowning. When in heaven he says, "God, why did you save Me" And god says "I sent you a radio warning, a helicopter and a boat...And yet you still refused my help.

Just a joke, thought it related to Vdogs post.
