[kj] (OT) Birdflu updates

[sade1]

   I think the fear isn't so much of present-form evian flu but of a human-friendly mutation of it, which we're not prepared for, i don't think.  
   
     On a tv show some scientists said that when they looked at lab samples of the 1918 Flu and corpse samples from the arctic from same flu, that they found that the 1918 flu was a bird flu that jumped the bird/human barrier (in other words, it mutated). It seems they fear the same thing happening again.
    Also, what is the kill-ratio of present-form avian flu, what, something like 40%? Impressive, especially if containment were to fail.
     Heheh, i saw the Dummy-In-Chief was on tv speaking of bird flu and he near-stuttered and looked away, something he always does when he's really insecure about  a subject. Real inspiration, that one.

  OK, its now 103 people who have died from ailments related to Bird Flu . 
People dont actually die from bird flu, bird flu usually gives people 
conjunctivitis or other non fatal ailments . To the young, old , weak or 
infirm this could prove to be fatal (due to their already weak condition) 
but under normal circumstances it will be harmless. Most of the deaths have 
been in continents where dyer....dier.......dayer......where the shits can 
prove to be fatal .
Dont forget that regular influenza kills approx 20 000 people in the UK 
annually. And dont forget that Malaria kills 2 million annually and HIV has 
killed 40 Million .............and everyones petrified of bird flu!!!!!!!!
I also believe that the infected swan found in Fife, was thrown overboard 
from a passing U.S navel boat , on Rumsfields orders. Experts cannot explain 
how it got there.

As the masters rot on walls
And the angels eat their grapes
I watched picasso 
visit the planet of the apes
