Yes this is one particular hardship that has not yet made its way here to the United States, unlike the international financial crisis and the course of the elective process that have dominated the negative headlines. Disastrous weather also has quelled all appetite for more bad news here, and as a result I have found it hard to convince others of a possible coming disaster of pandemic mutation. If it happens, the death toll and economic devastation will probably not heed any national boundaries whatsoever. If there is any bird flu vaccine available to common citizens here, it is certainly not widely available or I would have heard of it, and whatever such thing there is, it will be not any more effective than the veterinary vaccines in Asia that have been made obsolete by the antigenic change in the H5N1. I have started a facebook page, written two articles, and utilized the Twitter website to make as many other Americans aware that any sense of safety derived from our geographic separation is misplaced and delusional. Very few of them have paid any attention whatsoever, as I am not the mainstream media or the government agencies from which they enjoy their reassuring silence.
