I was selected to be a member of the pandemic flu committee at work last week and I have been reading articles and a book on the pandemic flu of 1918. It is really scary! However, up until today I thought "What are the chances that this will happen again?" I really thought the chances were small, until the committee chair pointed out that there have been
79 confirmed cases of the Avian (bird) flu in Indonesia as of today. Out of 79 cases, 61 poeple have died. Could this be the start of the pandemic flu? They think that the flu in Indonesia started with poultry and/or birds.

There is no pandemic flu right now. In fact the hospital lost money last year because there were less flu epidemics than the past decade. Worry about heart disease which kills more women than all women's cancers combined.
