A Vivid Story of Avian Flu's Dangers

This Vietnamese man survived Avian Flu after watching his brother die from the disease. Note: As you've seen from other stories to which I've linked here, the disease becomes a fierce threat to one's life one day after exposure to the virus. Should this thing mutate, allowing it to easily pass from human to human like conventional viruses, a pandemic of unprecedented proportions could result.

Please, write to your representative in Congress, your two Senators, and to the President urging that we stockpile Tamiflu, a medication that helps victims of Avian Flu fight it, and when scientists are able to develop it, a vaccine. Without such preparations, hundreds of thousands of Americans will likely lose their lives!
