re: Henson. An artsy friend told me that puppeteers are (or were) particularly susceptable to respiratory infections and problems. They spent a lot of time carving up bits of foam & using weird materials and glues -- it's like inhaling fiberglass for a few years.
I don't think concern about avian flu has any bearing on whether or not you should get a flu shot. I never get them, for all the reasons others have mentioned.
I wish to join the RoS fangirl club. You can have Praed if I can have young Winstone.
That is all.
I'm about to stage a mutiny. They had until noon to send me corrections or changes. I haven't heard "yes, go ahead" from anyone yet.

Currently, the only thing stopping H5N1 from full-blown pandemic-hood is its difficulty in infecting human-to-human. The easiest way for this to change would be for someone infected with a human-adapted strain to catch H5N1, giving the two viruses a chance to exchange genetic information and give birth to a strain with H5N1's lethality and easy human-to-human transmissibility.
So while the flu shot won't protect you against H5N1, the fewer human-adapted strains of influenza infecting the general population, the better.
I got an extension on my essay without even have to ask for it! Wah-hey! It's the little things. If anyone wants to rub my head for luck, they're more than welcome. This kind of thing should be shared around.
