Is public getting too apathetic over avian flu?
Worrying about avian flu isn't just for the birds, medical experts warn.

"I'm concerned. The avian virus isn't getting much attention from the news media this year.

She was hired in July 2006 to get area businesses, schools and households ready to deal with a possible pandemic. "That's still my full-time job," she said. But is her constituency letting down its guard? Maybe, say federal agencies, and they're trying to revive awareness. "The public has become accustomed to news about outbreaks among poultry in Indonesia and other faraway places.
