OP/ED: Is The Bird Flu Taking Attention From AIDS.

Bird Flu has killed 60 people worldwide but how
many millions has AIDS/HIV killed.

Interesting information.

But ... this sentence should have said ... Bird Flu has killed
60 people worldwide SO FAR...

The point is to stop the pandemic before it happens.
Bird Flu can hit everyone. Frankly ... AIDS doesn't.
I don't live a lifestyle that would put me at risk for AIDS.
Neither does my 9 year old daughter.
Naturally I'm more interested in the Flu Pandemic which
COULD hit us - whereas AIDS most likely won't.

Hey ... it's selfish but it's the truth.

Edited to add - hey ... AIDS effects the immune system and those
folks suffering from AIDS should be VERY worried about a flu
pandemic!!
