Killer Bird Flu in Thailand

Posted by Stuart at 11:22 AM on March 18, 2003

I just wanted to say a quick thank you to everyone who has emailed me about the "Killer Flu in Asia". Yes, I know all about it and will be as careful as I can.

In reading news articles about the flu this morning, I found an interesting bit of trivia. Did you know that 500,000 around the world die from the flu every year? I had no idea. Puts a little prespective on this new flu. I guess it is similar to being afraid to fly the day after a plane crash. Gotta love our hardwired instinctive irrational fears.

In any case, I promise to be careful and I will be sure to go to the doctor if I have any symptoms. Thanks for the head's up and the caring notes.
