We’re all going to die!

Looks like the medical community every is freaking out over a possible mutation of the bird flu that’s going around at the moment:

“At the moment the bird flu has a small capacity to infect humans, but if it acquired certain genes from existing human viruses it could produce a virus against which no one would have immunity,” Professor Tannock said.

I just love how the Australian government has issued a warning to Australians not to travel to Japan. Hooray, that makes me feel all the more secure, especially given that there seem to be more kids absent sick than actually at school these days. Maybe I’ll have to funkify up my dress code with one of those surgical masks that seem to be all the rage these days.
