Something to think about

"Although avian bird flu may well have the potential to transform itself
into an easily transmissable pandemic virus in the future, it is worth
noting that so far, only 100 people have died from the virus. Ever.
Anywhere. By contrast, 3000 children A DAY die from malaria in sub-Saharan
Africa. That's the equivalent of ten mid-sized primary schools. A day."
