ONCE AGAIN THE MEDIA HAS EVERYONE IN A FRENZY !REMEMBER THE BIRD FLU SCARE ? IF YOU TAKE
NOTICE OF EVERYTHING THE MEDIA RANTS ABOUT YOU WOULD NEVER LEAVE YOUR HOUSE NEVER MIND TRAVEL!!!!!!![/quote]No need to shout coxy95 we can hear you!!

I think the point of my post was not so much about whether I would want to fly or not but whether I will be able to in 6 weeks - that is a different thing all together. I may make an informed choice weigh up the risks and decide OK I'll go for it

- only to find I can't because things have got so bad that flights are cancelled.

I have to say I do think IMHO some of the posts above do have a little bit of a 'Ostrich with it's head in the sand' feel about them.

Regarding cross country contamination and then cross human contamination within those countries we already have a different scenario from the Avian flu epidemic. Indeed good hygiene is key to all of this but the fact is it may still get much much worse and could indeed affect travel between countries.
