So, I know that I mentioned in an earlier post that I would think twice before buying into the bird flu hype, but when even respected talk radio hosts like Sean Hannity start to say we should prepare for it, I start being a hypocrite.
I just think it is beyond fathomable to even consider what the world would be like if a flu pandemic hit like they're saying it will. Could we go to work? Go shopping? Go anywhere? And what if one out of every three people you knew just died. That's pretty crazy, if you ask me. (And I bet if you asked someone else, they'd think it's pretty crazy, too).
However, my purpose for this post is not to intensify the fear or support the media's take on the avian flu. My intention is to actually bring a little comfort to those of you worrywarts out there, who, like me, think about the bird flu before lying down to sleep each night. I came across this opinion article today from the Christian Science Monitor, which I think may be a more liberal source, I'm not really sure. But the article just takes a perspective on the pandemic that I haven't heard, and it eased my mind a little bit. So, if you find yourself avoiding your usual chicken nuggets for lunch or the sound of birds chirping outside your window is more like the screeching Psycho theme than a pleasant reminder of springtime, I suggest you take a looksie at this here link.
Read me.
