bird flu

[rdfreak]

I am currently watching 60 minutes, and the first story was about Bird flu, and how it's so close to home now - in asia and all that, which is like next-door to us! It's really scarey stuff! I mean they did this ficticious report where they said that thousands are dying and there is so much more crime in Sydney because half of the cops have been killed. and then they said, though it was all fiction, it is certainly no fantasy and that's how they predict it could be.
they reckon if it came here, it could kill 2 million or so, and the world wouldn't be the same.
and they were also talking about how pigs in Asia had got this disease which spread to humans from flying fox's droppings, from mangos.
man it's all so scarey! they're saying if an outbreak of birdflu happened here, we'd be better off isolating ourselves; not going into public. that's scarey! I mean it's unavoidable these days if we wanna eat and stuff! *brrr man as if we haven't constantly got more to worry about!
Til Next Time, RdFreak

60 minutes and the like is usually a crock of shit. Its part of the reason why people are so paranoid.
i bet they said we were all going to get wiped out by SARS, too ;) [I was in Singapore for the day when SARS was spreading.] oh... and how could i forget the terrorists. Good thing ive stocked up on canned goods, duct tape and have built a sifficent bomb shelter to live in for the rest of my life! [just kidding.]

dont worry about it, just turn the TV off. :D

oh! I also wanted to mention...
I've got two buddies moving up to melbourne at the end of this year. I'm very close to both of them, so no doubt I'll be in melbourne quite a bit to hang out with them.

I'm looking forward to catching up with you again!
