57. Or survival of those who wash their hands the most often
We haven't seen a pandemic since the realization that handwashing does more to prevent the spread of disease than any other thing. Now true enough, when something is an airborn pathogin handwashing does little to prevent the transmission--like TB. TB is still prevelent in prisons, in the Navy, and other places that many people are enclosed in tight living quarters. But TB is an airborn pathogin, and what I have heard about the "bird flu", it is a contact pathogin--meaning WASH YOUR HANDS!!!!!

I just don't trust the BFEE when it comes to this subject. The anti-viral (Tameriflu) that bush* asked for a billion dollars or so to combat the "bird flu" is said to be completely ineffective by all scientists that I have heard speak of the matter. The interesting thing is that KO stated on his show that Rummy has several million dollars of shares in that company. Hmmmmm.

No, I really don't want any "medicine" that these murdering bastards want to pedal. I will trust my good health, common sense, and good hygiene.
