What the Kiwis Think About it?
I came accross this forum on a NZ-site. One of the participants is wondering what if birdflu, is just like Y2K and everyone makes this massive deal out of it and we go and buy baked beans and surgical masks and live in our bomb shelters and die anyway - or in the case of Y2K, nothing happens? We could do a George Bush and keep the enitre country on "orange alert" for three years, and live in a state of permanent fear, because the media we see keeps telling us that we are constantly under threat.

Guys. Please chill. The media loves a good sensational story. And while the danger is there I agree, the disease has not mutated anyway.
