Bothered?

Not bothered at the moment - will be if i'm not allowed to eat chicken (my staple food) if it gets too bad!

We as a society always hype up things to make them look a lot worse than it really is. We take out the really negative peices to make it appear that much worse.

The same applies with 'global warming' - a definition which should not be used if you actually know what it means.

I am not bothered by it all.

I feel bad for all the poor little HENS which may be affected.

So you should only use it if you don't know what it means ? ? ?

I don't care about it. I'm a bloke, so why would bird flu effect me. Unless me bird catches it.

This is an epidemic that was identified two years ago. Since then, it has affected livestock all over Asia and in that time, I believe, it has killed fewer than 100 people (all of whom were poultry farmers). More than 2 billion people live in Asia so that doesn't strike me as a high fatality rate.

Of course, there's the possibility that it could spread to the UK and spread to humans but it seems a low risk - I'm much more at risk every time I cycle into town.

I'm only bothered because we have a lot of chicken and I couldn't bear it if we had to cull them. If we didn't have them, I wouldn't be overly concerned.

Not bothered about it for myself but more for my 7 year old daughter.....it's amaizing how having kids changes your opinions of things

Quite. I think poultry owners have reason to be concerned; but the rest of us? Nah.
