    AIDS-causing viruses? H5N1 is influenza… Have I missed some kind of news that we can get AIDS from the flu now??

      • Link? Or are we just trolling the surprisingly large overlap of people who are unjustifiably freaked out by AIDS and people who think wearing masks is limiting their freedums?

        No way… Masking up makes the person not look as cool doing it. It doesn’t feel as good.

        No problem! Now you can get "silicone face shields! SFS or SupaFaSe! With SupaFaSe, you feel every one of his airborne molecules going into your body! With SupaFaSe-R, ribbed, the molecules are extra bouncy for your pleasure! Ask for SupaFaSe-R over the counter!

      Bird Flu is not just regular stomach flu. Avian Influenza is a threat on a larger scale, but I guess I might have been misinformed on the connection to auto-immune disease as the two are often presented as a singular issue when brought to attention (an immune compromised individual will very likely die from H5 infection).
