    Well the experts say that the way it's spreading amongst birds its increasing the risk mongfold of a cross speicies mutation.

    Should we stockpile flu vaccine while we can?

    Its inevitable i think. And Kosmo, once it breaks out it spreads like the flu, from human to human, so it doesnt really matter whether u have birds there or not.

    Birds excrete the virus in their faeces, which dries and becomes pulverised, and is then inhaled.

    Hmm... Never really stood still that I was inhaling birdfaeces when standing close to a cage.

    Worldwide, experts predict anything between two million and 50 million deaths.

    Wow... (But then again, these are only the consequences when a eventual birdflu would break out).

    Hmm its like this, our second biggest resourse of proteine has catched a plague.

    When such a plague hits big cities with large amount of poor people (read lives close to animals) like in Africa it will without a doubt, because of the large population subjected with no resources of control, mutate into a human to human situation and then we will have a shitload of people sick EVERYWHERE not just in third world countries.

    This is not UFO's or Yeti, this is a plague, we KNOW they exist, we KNOW that pandemic plagues usually erupt every 80 years or so but we have been lucky lately.

    Lets put it like this, buy stocks in Tamiflu, it will skyrocket.

    Talking about which, I had a dream about a burning bush telling me to put it out and move to Finland since Finland would be spared the fifty fifty flue.

    Dreams are weird..

    Yea but still it's more likely to die in a car accident than to die to this virus

    just as it was with SARS

    I wonder if this flu wasnt created by some company so they can sell the vacines!

    Man, imho mankind is so hypnotized by their consumist desires that they won't give a shit to this as long as it doesnt affect their lives directly. People are becoming so fucking stupid (yeah, even more than what they used to be), they believe in everything they see on TV. Last day I saw on tv that we are entering in a natural period of time when hurricanes will get stronger. Who the fuck is dumb enough to believe this ? We all know mankind been fucking up the environment, c'mon, just open your eyes. While mexican gulf and southeast asia are suffering from hurricanes and the shit, the amazon rainforest area in Brazil is suffering from the worst dryness in like 50 years.

    I know I went a bit off topic but its got something to do with the flu subject.

    So I see in a norwegian newspaper that a whole bunch of birds died in Stockholm. I say now is a good time to strengthen the anti-air defences along the swedish-norwegian border and shoot down any birds attempting to cross into Norway.
