Yes but, there has already been a pandemic of a bird flu ... ever read about the 1918 Influenza Pandemic.

I hope it doesnt jump, but we should be prepared nevertheless.

Since I reply to several posts at once, I just replied to the last post.

I like your idea about the thin fold up glasses. Might be the most allround (edc) solution if the "field of view" is large enough for me.

I will do some research about disposable lenses (are they sold one at a time; how long do they stay good; ...). They seem the best edc-backup-alternative due to their size. I never wore lenses, so I might better try it sooner then later.

since I started having duc(k)(t)-tape around (at home & in the car), I find myself using it more and more. I'm not yet as addicted as you. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

PS: is it "duck tape" or "duct tape"? Is "duck tape" a tradmark and "duct tape" the "general name"?

I'm keeping my ears and ears open concerning brid flu.
I'm most concerned about my kids e.g. "finding a sick bird in the garden and "taking care of it".


Thanks for the usefull info. Sorry it took some time for replies, but I have been quite busy this week.
