The Bird Flu Pandemic II
Odd thoughts on what to do if it goes ballistic.
As I’ve mentioned earlier, the current threat with respect to Bird Flu, as it is reported today, is a dramatic rise in the price of chicken. We’ll have to kill off chickens like never before in order to contain a localized outbreak. In light of the current industrial process of raising the birds, this means whole industrial plants will be purged of all birds. The resulting lack of product will drive the price of bird flesh trough the proverbial roof.
On the other hand, there are other aspects as well. The human ones.
