I don't think it would spred as fast a some people are saying. The virus would travel from coughs and sneezes, meaning symptoms would have to be present before its contagious. So once an outbreak is identified, travel would be restricted to that area. If an outbreak occurs in a developed country, victims could be quarantined in a sanitary hospital. those who do become infected in developed countries would be less likely to die because they likely started out fairly healthy. Unlike developing nations, where much of the population is already weakened by famine and other diseases (most specifically AIDS). On top of that, outside of maybe a few big cities, there is almost no clean hospitals to quarantine patients. I'm not saying the First World would be unaffected by the Bird Flu, if it were to mutate, just compared to its effect on the Third World, it would be minor. The flu already kills like 40 thousand people a year in the US, so maybe during a pandemic year it might be more like a quarter million. Alot, but "minor" when compared to the likely tens of millions in the Third World.

Uh no. Please read up, influenza becomes contagious (or infectious) during the incubation period (the period when symptoms haven't started yet), usually about a day or so before the incubation period ends:

What makes this scheme more complicated and also very important from the public health point of view is that the order in which the infectious period and the symptomatic periods happen is not fixed for different diseases. Thus in SARS people became sick (symptomatic) before they were maximally infective, so health care workers rather than the general population were most likely to be exposed. It was thus also easier to control the disease because apparently well people were not infectious. With influenza, on the other hand, the infectious period begins about 24 hours before the symptomatic period. This gives influenza a head start in infecting people, before the person knows he is sick and thus more likely to have contact with others.

What could possibly posess you to try to be another sexuality? I hope you don't think that's what bisexuality is; something you have to try as opposed to something inherent, like homosexuality or heterosexuality.

Who needs to confiscate? If DRM support becomes mandatory, your old non-compliant tuner simply won't work anymore.
