Yes sometimes we need just to turn to another channel and not watch any news at all or just turn off the TV altogether and listen to relaxing music.  The media likes to hype and harp on things to try to work us up into a frenzy.  That's how they make their salary.

Ok, guys, I just received the same notice from someone on my buddy list.  Since I don't just blindly accept it when someone tells me about a virus or any such stuff (Have been burned by believing that before!!!) I decided to do some checking on the net.  On the trendmicro website I found some information stating that the j_neutron07 "virus" is just a hoax.  Nothing on snopes.com just yet either way. As always, the choose is yours as to whether you want to believe or not, just be informed before you decide!!!

No.  Unless you live in a few countries where it is a problem.  It's just another media mass-hysteria.  The risks and dangers are GREATLY overblown.\n\nCheck out the link below....and relax.....\n\n\nWAIT!!....INCOMING CHICKENS!!!!!!!!

http://www.newstarget.com/020912.html\n\nThis is an article criticizing the value of flu shots, and refers to them as "one of the greatest medical cons perpetrated on the populations of the world."  It also goes on to discuss how they're actually more harmful than useful.\n\nDon't shoot the messenger... :)

Well, this girl at work, her son's fish died and she took the day off to console him.  We had a good laugh when she got back because she had to have a fish funeral. Her son was distraught and she just couldn't leave him.\n\nLater, she learned from a friend that she should have just said the fish had belly-up flu and that she'd take him to the doctor on the way to work, get him fixed and he'll be fine in a day or two.

My rant today is:  My family and my husbands family are each being stubborn about Thanksgiving and they have me in the middle of their fight.  I'm so sick of OJ; how can that SOB get away with continuing to throw his sickness in our faces.  Have you noticed the price of gas is going up again, the elections are over, next week is a holiday and OPEC and the US Oil companies have us by the balls. The Southern Baptist Convention consists of nothing but belligerent, elitist, bigoted, hypocrites.  \n\nThere, I'm feeling better, thank you for that.  :)

Look!  First thing is first the only people who have gotten the bird flu live with birds lots of birds I would not worry about it. It wastes time and energy and why dwell on it when it is not here yet?

I know about it neither.\nAlmost every people in the globe experienced that, too.\nEven I got a fever but not flu.\n\nIt looks like we have to take care of our health more due to the flu. Take Vitamin C.\n\nBy the way, you are quite new here, aren't you?\nWelcome to Yahoo! Answers.\nPlease do not post your question to this category ever because this category is generally considered "junk".\n\nNext time, post question to its suitable category.\nOK?

Not really a question, is it?\n\nAt first I thought the problem was medical, so I began to research, which brought me to this site:  http://www.alternative-medicines.com/prod05.htm\n\nBut now I see the rest of your question, or, rather, statement, that it's political.\n\nHope you get to "feeling better."  I have the same sick feeling these days.

Kill all affected birds, human in direct contact with those birds are prone to bird flu, last 3 years 92 people are dead from bird flu and all were bird handlers.\n\nThere is no harm in eating well cooked chicken and egg.\n\nIt has not yet spead from humam to human but danger is still there.

I am not relying on them. I got my pneumonia shot and am getting this\nLaboratory tests show Sambucol® neutralises Common and Avian Flu Virus H5N1 \nAdded: (Thu Jan 19 2006) \n\nNew research, carried out by Retroscreen Virology has indicated that \nSambucol®, a patented formula, may fight the virulent Avian Flu virus. Results have been presented yesterday, Wednesday, in a press conference held in the Royal Society of Medicine, London. Speakers included Prof. Hannoun, Emeritus Professor at the Pasteur Institute and Dr. Mumcuoglu, developer of Sambucol®. \n\nLaboratory trials held in a leading research institute, Retroscreen Virology \nLtd, associated with the University of London found Sambucol® to be at least \n99% effective against the Avian Flu virus H5N1. Sambucol® was effective at \nsignificantly neutralising the infectivity of the virus in cell cultures. These \nresults will also be presented during the International Conference on Bird Flu: \n“The First Pandemic of the 21st Century. A Central Role for Antivirals”, to be \nheld at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital on January 19th-20th 2006. \n\nDr. Madeleine Mumcuoglu, is looking into further investigations into the \nactivity of Sambucol® against Avian Flu on a wider scale. \n\nIn an earlier study (1995) Sambucol® was found to be effective against a wide range of influenza strains. Laboratory studies conducted at the Hebrew \nUniversity – Hadassah Medical School, Jerusalem demonstrated the activity \nof Sambucol® against human, swine, and avian influenza strains. \nSambucol®'s efficacy was also demonstrated in two double blind, placebo \ncontrolled clinical studies. Sambucol® was shown to cut the duration and \nseverity of the common flu by up to half. \n\nENDS \n\nNotes to editors; \nSambucol® is based on an active substance isolated from the black elderberry. \nManufactured by Razei Bar Industries Israel, Sambucol® is available in 17 \ncountries and in the UK is sold in Tesco, leading chemists, independent health \nfood stores and wholesalers from £8.49. \n\nFor photography please visit the following site and enter the log in details: \nFTP address: ftp://pixelit.co.il \nuser name: ftp_razeibar \npassword: 63+84675 \n\n\nFor further press information please contact: Francesca Gaffey/Cheryl Davies, \nCommunique Public Relations, Waterside, No2 Canal Street, Manchester, M1 \n3HE.
