Chicken little says the sky is falling

And I'm getting tired of hearing it. Health officials and scientists have been squawking about how the bird flu is going to kill 20 million people and rival the 1918 Spanish flu. Okay. Fine. We get it. Stop scaring us and start telling us how you plan to prevent it, limit it, and eradicate it. Instead all we get is proposal this, proposal that. If they continue to sound the klaxon without providing any solutions, I can't help but begin to think this is little more than a tactic to scare up more funds for NGOs, government health agencies, and researchers.
