text: what about the avian flu ??? if the avian flu does ht the united states as our officals are worried about.  who do you think should have immediate access to medical care at emergency rooms if this virus does mutate to being spread by humans, citizens of this country or illegal aliens.  law says treatment will be given to all at emergency room.  are you going to sacrafice your loved ones so that the others can get help??? the avian flu is not something i am concerned about. only 15 people have died from it in the past few years. it is hardly an epidemic to talk about anywhere.
