I can appreciate your trying to spread the word on the possibility of a pandemic hitting the globe at any time in the future, but when talking about an avian flu pandemic, your "facts" are not all that factual.
Little clarification needed here (all the info comes directly from the cdc's website:
http://www.cdc.gov/flu/avian/facts.htm )
1:"Avian influenza usually does not make wild birds sick, but can make domesticated birds very sick and kill them. Avian influenza A viruses do not usually infect humans; however, several instances of human infections and outbreaks have been reported since 1997."
2:"2003: Avian influenza A (H7N7) infections among poultry workers and their families were confirmed in the Netherlands during an outbreak of avian flu among poultry. More than 80 cases of H7N7 illness were reported (the symptoms were mostly confined to eye infections, with some respiratory symptoms), and 1 patient died (in a veterinarian who had visited an affected farm). There was evidence of some human-to-human transmission." (Not 1000s as you had posted NC)
3:And taking Tamiflu probably ain't gonna do you much good against any avian flu as it's not particularly effective against this year's flu bug that is going around. (Hence the reason so many Seniors are going to Mexico & Canada for flu shots).
