Outbreak! (not in New Orleans)

Here's a summary of the latest disease outbreaks:

Staph bug causes toxic shock syndrome kills three children in Chicago

Yellow Fever in Burkina Faso

Human bird flu in Indonesia

The human bird flu is disturbing, but so far doesn't seem to be easily spread person to person (yet). So if I was a more pessismistic person, I'd say the end of the world is beginning. It would seem that something nasty will get us if it isn't the bird flu.
