Posts: 1146 | October 20th, 2005 at 02:34pm The UK's good at disasters... if it comes it comes. Brares are gonna die, but it'll be sorted out.
The emergency services will handle it fine, im sure.
And, we have too much of an ageing population as it is.
A cull never did anyone any harm

Posts: 193 | October 21st, 2005 at 12:36pm bloodraine:About bird flu:
Bird flu viruses do not usually infect humans, but several cases of human infection with bird flu viruses have occurred since 1997.The risk from bird flu is generally low to most people because the viruses occur mainly among birds and do not usually infect humans. The current outbreak of bird flu among poultry in Asia and Europe is an example of a bird flu outbreak that has caused human infections and deaths. The H5N1 (dangerous to humans) strain remained largely in South-East Asia until this summer, when Russia and Kazakhstan both reported outbreaks.Scientists fear it may be carried by migrating birds to Europe and Africa but say it is hard to prove a direct link with bird migration.
they said the virus could mutate and infect humans, causing a pandemic |

Yup, concern about the deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu centres on scientists' fears it may mutate into a form that passes easily among humans, sparking a pandemic that may kill millions.
But im not worried...yet. No point in getting scared of something that hasn't happened. |

Adult kids would loose a parent...
From what i gather, it will affect the elderly and really young people. Old people die from normal flu every year. However, babies is a bit more disturbing.
But if it comes, it comes. Not much you can do about it |

Posts: 1501 | October 22nd, 2005 at 11:04am it's said that it would most likely affect the weakest people in the society, but if a parent gets it he/she will die cause the virus doesn't have a cure |

That doesn't mean it will.
A parrot did get killed by it in the UK. But the conditions it was living in were appalling anyway. (Or something like that... I read it in the paper.)[/b] |
