yes, i believe you were a bit young back then, but rent y2k, the movie, that will give you an idea of what people thought was gonna happen, they thought that nuclear powerplants might go a tad crazy and kill us all......

ahh..i see. ill rent that movie. and yes....i believe i was about 9 or 10 when y2k rolled around.

jesus, don't rent that movie, i had the misfortune of watching it on one of my sleepless nights.....and i almost lost my mind.....it's by far the stupidest thing ever put on tape.......

but, but, you told me to?!?! im gonig to rent it regardless because youve gotten me interested.

very well, say goodbye to sanity....

I agree. It's all scare mongering. Frankly, if it comes here, then we can deal with it. How are you supposed to individually stop from getting it if it actually comes? Live in caves?

If it wants me, it can come and get me, I'd rather live my life without worrying about it.

Screw that, I couldn't handle living in a country where you're to scared to look over your shoulder.But yeah it's been hyped up to hell just the SARS virus was.

Here in Canada you have a far better chance of getting "Beaver Fever" from drinking the water. SARS was a joke

ehh im gonna catch it and spread it to everyone to be an ass :)

Bird flu found in Scotland.
Swan tested positive.

Precautions involve a 3km deep "protection zone" and a "surveillance zone" a further 7km.

A Commission statement said: "In the protection zone, poultry must be kept indoors, movement of poultry is banned except directly to the slaughterhouse and the dispatch of meat outside the zone is forbidden except where products have undergone the controls provided for in EU food controls legislation, for example meat sourced from animals on registered farms, subject to ante and post mortem checks by vets in the slaughterhouse.

"In both the protection zone and the surveillance zone, on-farm biosecurity measures must be strengthened, hunting of wild birds is banned and disease awareness of poultry owners and their families must be carried out."
