British Diseases

Ok, I’m getting just a tad worried. I’m sitting here watching a report on the BBC news about plans on dealing with a potential bird flu pandemic sometime in the future here in England. It seems that the British government is stockpiling Tamiflu to pass out to its critical employees (critical as in ‘important,’ not critical as in ‘those who make lots of criticisms’), just in case. Isn’t this the same country that had to deal with Mad Cow disease a few years ago? And a Hoof-and-Mouth epidemic a while back?

Let’s see…Mad Cow…Hoof-and-Mouth…Bird Flu…and nobody reminded me of this a few months ago?
