Don't panic

Because of the way some people in the American press are handling the situation, some people are panicking over the prospect of the Avian flu hitting this country. Relax! It is not just around the corner. It may be down the street but we have been warned and if everyone does his or her part, we can be prepared. Even the Bush wants to allot money for vaccines now but people should not act as if we are all about to be wiped out by this disease. In fact, to date, it is very difficult to contract in a bird to human or human to human scenario and as the experts say, these things mutate slowly, so don't panic.
