X-Message-Number: 27174 References: <> From: Kennita Watson <> Subject: Re: Avian Flu Date: Wed, 5 Oct 2005 02:27:44 -0700 My first thought was that people would overuse it and poorly use it, helping the flu to become resistant. Second was that I still might want to have some, if I could get it. Third was wondering how long it would keep at room temperature. Fourth was speculating on the size of the black market and how much counterfeit/ineffective product would be out there. Fifth was musing on how many kinds of snake oil the charlatans would come up with once people got desperate. Then I had other things to do.
