Assets that have a certain future!
If Bird Flu breaks out property prices and economics will be the least of our worries...The mortality rates make SARS look like a doddle! Best thing to do is to build up health and immune systems and lower stress levels. Rich or not and moving to Vancouver or wherever will be irrelevant. Strong immune systems will be the biggest most valuable asset and funnily enough it appears that the "Rich" who have had huge access to the damaging effects of modern medicine and over use and abuse of antibiotics will in fact be among the hardest hit by this one.
