luckily, I have never ever had influenza in my life

You know, this may not necessarily be a good thing. One possible reason is that you are blessed with a natural immunity to all strains of the influenza virus. Another is that you take your flu shots regularly, thereby granting you immunity. But the last possbility is that you are lucky. Now if it is the last possibility, then if you happen to come down with flu (which I pray not), it would hit you hard because your immune system with not be able to deal with it effectively, having never encountered it before.

I hate the bird flu. Although I have next to no chance of coming into contact with the H5N1 virus and its variants, what it means is less chicken and eggs available, leading to an increase in price for chicken and eggs. This leads to a diverted increased demand for other meats, which results in an increase in price for all meats. I guess I'll be better off eating the vegetables.
