they make it sound like the flu pandemic is imminent, right nOW! Come on, its christmas for ***** sake, do we really need to have this brought up AGAIN, with no obvious pandemic in progress. I dont have a TV for this very reason of media "bad news" every bloody day. I've about had it with Yahoo as well with the weekly "fear" reports on one thing or another. ENOUGH

The article states a possible world health problem and offers a solution as what can be done to avoid it. "Access to vaccines, antivirals, and antibiotics for the most vulnerable populations".
Best be prepared than do nothing and let stuff happen.

the pandemic, is real and coming. it is not a matter of IF. it is a matter of WHEN. it not just yahoo, it is also government, trying to get YOU prepared. my friend we are past due for one. people have over used antibiotics so much over the past few decades, is what makes it even more resistant,and due to the population increase, this one will be much worse than the one that occurred in the early 1900's.

Every year it is something new.
Bird flu
Shark attacks
Road rage
These media whores need a way to generate advertising revenue, and care nothing about who they scare or what the truth really is.
Any wonder that no one respects them anymore?

Go ahead and stick your heads in the sand. That's really a good way to keep up with whats going on.
