Bird Flu...is it more dangerous than fever…i.e. Election fever? Isn’t the foul language used by the politicians more damaging than the fowl disease? If at all there is any vaccine or medication it needs to be tried to stop the foul mouths first. Who is to be blamed? Both parties point their finger at the other. Seems to be a chicken-and-egg problem.
Why should we now be scared of bird flu? The market price of onions- an indispensable ingredient of a chicken dish- has already made us chicken hearted. Further the soft drinks and the mineral water might have by now made us resilient. When the fodder meant for quadrupeds can be swallowed without any harm, is it so unsafe to consume birds with flu? To say Adieu to mouth watering chicken kababs and curries… is an impossible task! Let’s go on with the bouts of biryani and fight the flu. Else all the chicks may have to be culled and the nursery rhyme ‘ Old man Donald…’ too may have to be modified.
