    Useless?! Not only could this thread save your life, the survey results can be used as a sample in future essays such as The Marginalisation of disease: pre-swine attitudes on the cusp of pandemic :D

    Yes it causes a bit of a concern for me... Even though I'm on the safer side, these types of flu's cannot be taken lightly.... It can spread very rapidly....:)

    it is scary there were allot of scared people about the bird flu but it passed relatively safely

    but it is scary to think that most people are taking it really lightly and that is what is scary since it could be a huge killer in a short period of time

    I watched several videos about here and it is really terrible, people on hospitals all wearing masks, and didn't even know that even they have mask, they are still prone to the virus! :(
