BIRD FLU! How worried should we be??

So, I was merrily eating my chicken rice last night, with the TV going in the background, when suddenly I hear the news announcer say something about bird flu. It’s now in- France (very far away. Say, isn’t France famous for goose liver?)
- Iraq (ok, there’s a war going on there, too, right?)
- Azerbaijan (where’s that?)
- India (quite far away)
- Indonesia (hmm, kinda close)
- Malaysia…Malaysia.
That’s pretty close to home. Hell, my chicken rice could have come from Malaysian chickens. Now that I think about it, the chicken I ate was kind of uncooked. That makes me kind of unhappy.
Recommended by Anonymous Coward: "Given the amount of chicken I eat (and most people i know eat) maybe we should be paying more attention to the countries getting hit by H5N1? "
