as have been posted in previous replies, it's safe to eat WELL cooked chicken.

I'd rather be safe than sorry.

The DOH has already said that the text message is a hoax. Wala pa sa Pilipinas ang bird flu. The bird in question died of pneumonia and not bird flu.

The flu virus has a hundred bazillion gabillion different genetic makeups simply because it mutates so easily. The common influenza is simply a variation of H5N1.

To be specific, animal-to-human already happened. What we are fearing is the human-to-human transfer.

Unfortunately, 40 people have been killed by the so called AVIAN FLU for the last few weeks. The latest fatality is from Vietnam, yesterday.

According to the news, California will be the first infected due to large numbers of immigrant from China coming into ports of California.

RE: bird Flu in negros

....as long na lutong luto pati yung yolk malamang safe yan. siguro between the 2 mag-scrambled ka na lang muna.

...was watching discovery channel pa naman about the past flu outbreaks that killed millions. scary $hit.
