My assumption is because of the London terror plot and the war between Hezbollah and Israel are taking up all the news time.

Catsclaw, how is being a vegetarian going to protect you if the Avian virus mutates? Better re-think your answer, LOL.

Hoof and Mouth ailment as properly as diverse strains of influenza have been around for hundreds of years. Mad Cow became brought about with the aid of technique of animal feed agencies utilising floor cow aspects in the feed to maintain money. This swine flu became brought about with the aid of technique of a city's proximity to the Smithfield production unit pig farm the placement untreated waste became sprayed into the air and allowed to get into the water. One city in Mexico had a epidemic in February which became now no longer pronounced as such till ultimately early April.

Yeah they are all still out there. But who knows if and when they will take many human lives.
My area recently has had several West Nile cases.
Being a vegetarian will only protect you from mad cow none of the other disease mentioned!!!

right now the bird flu is probably still under control and only affecting birds. im guessing that there have been no major updates with that one. the beef industry has had restrictions and quality control measures placed upon it to lessen the risk of mad cow. what i wonder about is SARS. i remember when the whole world was freaked out about that and no one could come up with a vaccine or anything. what ever happened to that?

I think they try to keep us terrified of only one or two things at a time. If there's ever a lull in the other world scariness, I'm pretty sure we'll go back to diseases. And if bird flu and mad cow disease disappear, we'll probably go back to internet predators.

Oh, and don't forget global warming. The are all real risks to a certain point (expect global warming, it is bogus) but completely blown out of proportion by the media. They have new toys to play with now!!

Their working on angry, flying, pink, pig disease right now. It should be out any time.
Everything we eat is tainted in one way or another unless it is organic. Even the veg.
