  • Bird flu scare

    You may have heard or read stories about bird flu concerns in recent weeks.

    A local TV station was reeling off some precautions to take and one of
    them was "you shouldn't feed the (wild) birds."

    Do you think this is a valid concern and a way for the virus to spread
    to humans, or are they just acting like Chicken Little? (so to speak)

    I tend not to put too much stock in "news" like this one. Wait and see
    what develops.
