Aren't we all suppossed to be hiding under our beds from these potential population-eliminating ills? Is it all hype - if so, why are they trying to scare us? I mean is it in a sense "terrorism" or is it legitimately a warning to be prepared?

Bird flu has the highest potential to devastate populations and economies. The others are, in the big picture, little more than nuisances.

All three can be avoided; west nile; insect repellant. Bird flu, IF it comes, wear gloves, wash them with alcohol, and wear a filter mask for filtering out germs (sold on the internet), mad cow disease; stop eating beef. Beef digest badly anyway.
Most important; do daily weightlifting to make yourself strong. If you get 1 and 2, you will be more physically resistant to these two diseases. I do not know if exercise will help No. 3.

No one should ever worry about it. We only have one life to live and no one should have to live it being scared. Enjoy life, don't worry. It is half and half, everyone should be prepared but not estatic about it. If i die by getting west nile, i'll know that i enjoyed life and lived to the fullest. Our government probably does have some lies or alot of lies expecially how they are destroying our economy with rising gas prices. LIVE, LOVE, ENJOY LIFE

Mad Cow worries me. I don't think its hype at all, especially when you read about the effects of the disease.

West nile virus is best defeated by insect repellent.
Bird Flu isn't here yet and they are developing a vaccine for it.
Mad Cow....uh.....I don't like to talk about my ex-wife.

None of the above. I'm more worried about illegal immigrants taking over the country which is happening slowly but surely.

I'm not worried about a rear disease. I have a better chance of being hit by a bus or car-jacked.

Bird Flu.
Amazing how it was such a huge deal and now we don't hear a damn thing about it in the news anymore.
