NEWS: The Ministry of Health confirmed at a packed press conference this morning that over four million New Zealanders do not have bird flu. A Ministry spokesman confirmed with disappointment that "four million New Zealanders are healthy, happy and free from symptoms that we predict they will soon have. But just you wait -- Y2K will have nothing on this."
Unnaccountably, some journalists ignored the Ministry briefing, and in what must be a first time, looked instead at the facts [Hat tip Avian Flu Blog].

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
