I think it's pretty alarmist to say "Bird flu in US in 6 months"...

They're stating something as fact when they don't know enough to back it up. Never mind that in order to mutate enough to be easily transmitted from human to human, the virus would have to weaken substantially so its hosts don't die so damned quickly.

It's not a good thing, but I'm sick of the constant drumbeating about another disease. A few years ago it was West Nile. Now it's this. The media lives to inspire fear. It's the only way they can set themselves apart, get more viewers, more ad clicks and make more money.
