AVIAN INFLUENZA
I just don't get it.
I was watching the news tonight and in Indonesia 7 family members died from the avian influenza in three weeks but government officials refuse testing on all types of birds for the H5N1 virus. Excuse me?! If I lived in close proximity to any kind of poultry or bird and my family was getting sick I would definitely want to know if it was the chicken, turkey, or pigeon making them ill.
I think it's just stupid that they can grab one bird out of a whole flock to see if the flock is sick.
Maybe I am just irritated about hearing of the H5N1 virus or just ticked that countries won't to more testing so that America can prepare itself as the rest of the countries fight it but wouldn't you want to try and do more about it if you could?

Good luck on all your classes! There'll be good days and bad ones but never let the bad ones make you think any less of yourself or your abilities. Getting a degree is a challenge no matter how you get it. SOmetimes I think online classes can be tougher because you have to make yourself log in as opposed to listening to lectures and getting notes. I hope this really works for you, though.
