Worries about avian influenza may be overblown, experts say

Something overblown by the media? No way!
I'm the least bit surprised.

"Veterinary
experts are cautioning that exaggerated media and government reports of a deadly
influenza pandemic triggered by the avian flu are causing needless public
hysteria."

(I am not surprised!)

"The
chances of getting hit by avian influenza from wild birds is the same as getting
hit by a lightning bolt."

(good to know)

"The
H5N1 strain has not been found in North America, he added. All poultry in the
United States is safe to eat."

(so go ahead and eat that turkey on Thanksgiving!)
