What are good investments to hedge against a bird flu pandemic?

I'm guessing that the stock markets will crash if there is a bird flu pandemic. Are there any investments that will increase or retain most of their value in such a situation?

1. Hahaha....if you are stupid enough to believe crap like this, you might as well just give me all your money now.
2. When the markets opened a few days after 9/11, they tanked in general. There was no good reason for this in most cases and the markets rebounded in a few days or weeks to their historic levels. Any good company that is not directly affected by a bird flu outbreak would be a good bet since there is no good market reason for their stock price to dive, aside from market inertia. I made a ton of money after 9/11 simply by buying a block of stocks in several companies that had no good reason for their price drop and then dumped them a few weeks later when they rebounded to near pre-9/11 levels. The cardinal rule is to buy when everyone else is selling and sell when everyone else is buying. Warren Buffet's advice; there's none better!
3. Bird flu is just BS by the Bush administration to distract people's attention away from the war in Iraq. Its not contageous among people. You have to be exposed to the dander of an infected bird. REALITY CHECK: Since 1998 when bird flu was discovered in Hong Kong...... ... About 100 people died from bird flu. ... About 3,000,000 people died from regular flu. So which flu do we need to worry about the most? Nevertheless, poultry and egg futures might be affected. I hope the price of chicken and turkey drops so that I can stop up the freezer.
