[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 83058, member: 1912"] Back on thread. I fully understand the historical data that tells us we should be concerned about the threat of an avian flu. I fully agree that we should be preemptively prepared for this threat. At the same time I am often suspicious with issues like this whose threat I feel may be overstated to further enhance the importance of government interdiction. At this point we have heard of numerous birds being infected with the avian flu. I have not seen where the threat has materialized in humans and I am reminded of the west Nile threat that was played up 3 years ago which caused some problems but where the threat never materialized to the degree projected. If overstating the threat was a positive contribution to minimizing the West Nile threat then lets keep our responses to health threats at the same level. But at the same time I have to wonder......... [/QUOTE]
