Nooo!!! Argh! Rant alert! O_O
I get absolutely pissed of by this whole bird flu hype. First of all, there is no immediate danger for humans. It'll take a while before that virus will be able to go from human to human. And even from animal to human is rare - only 50 or so cases in a heavy populated area such as southeast Asia.
Secondly, even if the virus mutates to a human-human form, we don't even know whether it'll be dangerous. It might well be less dangerous than a normal flu.
Thirdly, this is nationstates, not real life.
So, in other words, don't write a resolution on this issue. Period. I'll campaign against it if I must. All this flu stuff is just scaremongering, just like SARS was, just like Saddam's WoMD, just like so many things these days. Get over it, life'll go on.

OK, second idea it is then
I'll write up a draft when I have time...maybe later this week?
