OK we've had the odd contained outbreak, but when the fallout runs into 4 figures, it's time for us to revert to knee-jerk panic.

1,000 turkeys killed by bird flu
About 1,000 turkeys at a farm in Suffolk have died from bird flu, government vets have confirmed.
Vets from the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) said the birds had tested positive for H5 avian flu.
It is not yet known if it is the H5N1 strain, which can be passed to humans.

We've had H7 recently which is pretty nasty. Way I see it is we're overdue for a pandemic, and now would be good, because Daytime TV is re-running 'Malcolm in the Middle' for the bajillions who may be hospitalised.
As a precautionary measure, I've smothered my children with drugged pillows and decided to bury my money in the garden, rate down gbaji, cancel next month's subscription to 'Bird Flu Survivors Magazine', and cut down on cigarettes.
As a final gesture, it seems appropriate to re-hash the annual 'Punxatawny Pete' deja-vu post-spam.
I Love You All.
