H5N1......arghh!!

It is hardly a matter for levity, but it has been almost laughable watching the news channels dealing with the story about bird 'flu being found on a turkey farm in Suffolk. On the one hand you have the "experts" playing the whole thing down, and insisting the risk to the general public is minimal, and on the other you have the presenters seemingly determined that this should be a major story and almost pleading with their interviewees to make sensational and inflammatory statements. I prefer to listen to the experts - let's not be complacent, but equally let's not get our knickers in a twist.
