I'm not so worried...

Indonesia has confirmed its 39th death from bird flu after tests by a WHO-affiliated laboratory showed a 14-year-old boy had died of the virus.

The death means Indonesia, the world's fourth most populous nation, is on track to record the world's highest number of deaths from the H5N1 virus since 2003. Vietnam has reported 42 deaths, but none of them have occurred this year.

For now I'm not very worried about the avian flu. I dont deal with any birds and I cook my chicken well. I think the media is making a bigger deal out of it then it should. Only thing we should worry about is when it mutates and turns into a human virus. That would really suck.

Never stopped eating chicken...

...right now I believe it is centralized to certain birds in certain countries. That's why strict policies on import birds will come about to ensure that a spead of the virus does not happen.
