avian flu
Oh my dear Lord, what if...? I'm beginning to panic at the thought of this becoming a reality.
Entire cities under martial law, sick left to their own devices... I can't help but feel terrified at the prospect.
But dammit, why SHOULD I have to live in fear? Supposedly, I live in the richest and most wonderful free country in all the world, where thousands of people would never be left for DAYS without such simple things as FOOD or WATER, or even SHELTER. Gee, that would never happen here, would it? I don't trust the U.S. Government to help Americans when they are in need, and the thought of a quarantine involving the military makes me hyperventhilate.
