Is this just a sick coincidence?

2007 - Chinese year of the Chicken - Bird Flu Pandemic devastates parts of Asia

2008 - Chinese year of the Horse - Equine Influenza decimates Australian racing

2009 - Chinese year of the Pig -
Swine Flu Pandemic kills hundreds of people around the globe.


Next year is ...

2010 - Chinese year of the Cock - what could possibly go wrong?
