Yes,, In your fighting spirit you can still keep on eating chicken, but understand this first "bird flu KILLS".
Bird flu is not just a fever or sickness you might get after eating at a dhaba or drinking cutting chai at lori anywhere in India. It has been reported to be fatal in two days before even doctors get chance to examine. Even Tamiflu, which is the drug believed to work against bird flu has failed in some cases.
So yes if you want to take a risk do it. But dont try to convince people to do that. After all if someone dies in India because of Bird flu, you are not going to take the responsibility. Instead try to make people more informed about what and where they should eat. Let them know what are the risks and available treatments. I am sure people will appreciate knowledge more than just a boost to "chalta hai" attitude.
I am surprised that Rediff.com even put such an article on their website. Very irresponsible.
