[Update: If you have the flu, even a mild case, don't take aspirin. You can get Reye's Syndrome if you do, and that's no joke. Some people think Reye's Syndrome may have accounted for some of the high mortality rate during the 1918-1919 Spanish Flu pandemic.]
[Correction. In the video I characterized TB as a virus. That's incorrect, it's a bacterium. I apologize to my viewers for the error.]
On Avian Flu, Part III: Protective Measures
In part I of this series, I explained that expert virologists estimated that there is a 15% chance of an avian flu pandemic erupting in the next several years, and that the mortality of such a pandemic could be very high. In Part II, I explained that the flu vaccine industry will probably take many years to provide full protection against any human transmissible strains that may emerge.
In this video, I'll offer some suggestions for protecting yourself against the threat of an avian flu pandemic.
