[Blue Ridge Muse: Creative meanderings from the Blue Ridge Mountains] Perspective: Over on Goose Creek, my friend Fred First frets about the growing threat of a bird flu pandemic that he feels could wipe out about 50 percent of an unprepared human population. I tease him about it, saying he should put on a tri-cornered hat, grab a lantern and ride a horse through the county shouting “the flu birds are coming, the flu birds are coming,” but Fred is a biologist who understands this stuff better than I.

 [Chicagoist.com] Chicagoist: Bird to Flip In April: What about the idea that maybe you'll get a good case of the flu (remember, the flu is to immunize you again inFLUenza, not the common cold, which has more strains than an aging NFL team) every 10 years that knocks you down for three days, and your body will have some great information about how to prevent that in the future. Information it gathers and stores from actually having to battle off the virus itself.
