TINFOIL TIME: What if bird-flu hits just in time for the '08 elections?

[elehhhhna]

How the heck would we even know if it's real or not? They could shut everything down for weeks--months, even, in rolling geographic curfews, etc.

And cancel elections indefinitely.

1. That's pretty much what I'm expecting...

...and anyone who hasn't taken TamiFlu™ is gonna die!

Fall bird migrations will be the big story, should be about right for the 'lection.

3. You're about 2 years late...it'll be here this fall (in bird-human form)

When and if it mutates into a human-human bug remains to be seen, but migratory patterns suggest that it will reach the U.S. sometime this fall.
