herpguy Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Some more articles about the H5N1 bird flu: http://www.livescience.com/othernews/ap_060217_bird_flu.html http://www.livescience.com/humanbiology/ap_060213_flu_europe.html http://www.livescience.com/humanbiology/ap_060208_flu_africa.html http://www.livescience.com/humanbiology/ap_050223_flu_warning.html These articles have convinced me to become worried. I hope the U.S. will have some sort of pandemic plan before the virus changes to allow itself to transfer from one person to another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silkworm Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I hope the U.S. will have some sort of pandemic plan before the virus changes to allow itself to transfer from one person to another. Unfortunately, America can't handle this right now because an incompetent regime which has a knack for ruining government agencies in in power. Hopefully, it doesn't get here until 2009 so we'll have a chance. I just ran into this and was getting ready to post it. I'm becomming concerned too.

Helix Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Bird flu was discovered in Germany in a housecat, I read. That's a nightmare scenario: the deadly 'pandemic flu' right smack-dab in western Europe.... But all of this doomsaying rests on the crux that the flu will morph, by whatever means, to become pathogenic to humans. That's no small feat, but I suppose it pays to be safe.
