BIRD FLU

With the "bird" issue Problems with the Flu's. There is a concern is with the Damage to the Lungs , and Pulmonary Hypertension. Make sense? or am I rambling?

Hate to say it, but you are rambling. Every few years there appears a very virulent strain of flu and someone starts comparing it to the flu of the 1920s. They did that just a couple of years ago when they announced that there was a strain that was appearing in Asia, that was different than the one that the vaccines were made for. So, they were worried that lots of people would die because they didn't have a vaccine for this new strain, but it never showed up here like they were predicting.

Like that article I posted, in the 70s, the Swine Flu was going to be the next pandemic, and it never occurred. I'm not saying that we shouldn't be aware and cautious when it comes to this flu, but there shouldn't be the big panic that seems to be occurring.

Sgt Fluffy is right. The news media, as usual, broadcasts 'panic first, facts later'.
