3. They're busy.......

And their medical emergency response abilities have been seriously diminished over the last 25 years...There is a reason the position is called Surgeon General. But today, there isn't enough of the Public Health Service to really help us out....

2. DING DING DING! New_beawr, you're our grand prize winner!

I'm afraid that's exactly what he's aiming for. This pandemic is his new duct tape and plastic sheeting, and what he's REALLY doing is CREATING it.

5. True--but the sad thing is--bird flu is a serious subject...
Edited on Tue Nov-01-05 01:30 PM by TwoSparkles
...and I'm afraid that as the chimp interjects himself into this serious subject--that many will erroneously believe that bird flu is nothing.

Chimp needs to shut up about bird flu. He's using the "fear factor" to distract everyone from his last 4,000 screw ups.

I've been reading about bird flu for more than a year. This is a very serious medical and scientific issue. This administration has been dead silent on bird flu for months. They didn't do the necessary things to really prepare and safeguard this nation, should a pandemic happen. They'll use any issue to scare people, but they haven't done anything to ensure that there is enough Tamiflu to go around. We've missed that boat.

He doesn't care about bird flu. He'll use any topic to scare everyone into becoming his frightened dependents. What a jerk.

Don't listen to anything he says about bird flu. Same with terrorism. Bird flu and terrorism are serious issues. WE need to be prepared (I purchased Tamiflu). However, this administration has no credibility and no business speaking authoritatively on this subject.

Be informed. Be prepared. However, don't listen to anything Bush says. Read the science and prepare to be on your own if a pandemic hits.

We all saw how well they handled the NOLA residents who only needed bottled water and a few crackers. These aren't the kinds of clowns we need protecting us all from a pandemic.

4. Be afraid!
That's what I was expecting you to say, in big letters, just that

BE AFRAID!!!



Because even if there's nothing to bird flu, there might be something to the "handling" of it.

7. But that IS what I'm worried about
And if people actually get sick from the flu, it's just all the worse. Natural, artificial, real or imaginary. These people make bank off disasters.

9. "These people make bank off disasters."
That's what they do best. The create disasters too. Their object is to keep us all preoccupied and in the state of fear so we won't notice their misdeeds.

Don't let them do that to you. Some people will get sick from the flu. It happens every year. Be healthy. Stay alert.

8. When it comes to * and his ilk, I'm 100% contrarian...
I believe nothing he says, if he makes a recommendation, I suggest the opposite is wiser. He is the king of a bizarro world where everything is the opposite of the correct world. Do not let yourself get sucked into his universe of lies and deceit! he is genetically incapable of being honest or helping anyone but himself and his cronies..
