Re: Bird Flu Epidemic
I do not believe there is anything we can do about it. Nature will take it's course, every once in a while the Earth needs to shake off a few million people. As a species we are generally pretty good about killing each other off to keep things in balance.
I do know that using untrained 18 year olds as "police officers" for an epidemic that "might" happen IF the virus mutates, and IF the virus becomes easily transmutted to humans, is not the answer. M-16's are not really much use against a virus.
Here is a crazy idea, take a billion or so of the dollars that was wasted in Iraq and make more vaccine. Soldiers are no good for fighting a virus, you need doctors and scientists for that kind of thing.
