It's been three loss over the flu :

All the three are from the same family. It's now the question whether the virus gained the ability to spread from one human to another or not ? The virus was known to infect a human from the infected animal, but not jumping to new human hosts.

And two of 35 suspicious patients in the Hospital of Van University have been confirmed of Avian Flu as well.

Soon enough it'll be in Europe, and we'll have to head for the hills... mass looting in the cities, lack of medication, the Queen will declare a State of Emergency, HM Armed Forces will be called out to keep the peace, everybody will die except those who headed for the hills, unless the deer get bird flu too...

Not to be harsh or anything, but only a few hundred people at most have been infected in the world. More people die in bouncy castle disasters then from this stupid thing. This is just the sensationalist media looking for a killer disease in order to drive up ratings, just like with the whole SARS thing. Why is it that such an insignificant disease with marginal effects upon the world gets infinitely more media coverage than a real epidemic like AIDS.

I think people are more worried about the flu mutating to be passed by humans than about what it's done in it's current state.

Mutation is inevitable. It will happen somehow, and it is feared that it happened already here..

On a large enough time scale and/or population it is possible, but it is not a given.

spanish flu is thought to be an example of this, also i thought the flu had already reaced romania?

I'm so glad I live in an Island 20 years behind the mainland...if avian flu reaches britain us we'll stop all our ships going out and grown our own food, like we did during foot and mouth. Unfortunatly i doubt the whole of britain could do that.

I'll worry about this in 2026 : )

We'll let the more urban areas die of hunger, reduce the surplus population and such...

The BBC refered to the situation in Turkey as The Bird Flu Crisis. That's right, 100 people dead in 2 years in the whole world constitutes a crisis. By that scaling, surely cancer is an apocalypse.

All the Media in the United Kingdom appears to have called it so...

It's not a crisis.

Yet.

There are now talks on that there are more cases in Asia then believed before, but most of them not so serious and therefore believed to be just normal flu. Would make the flu less deadly, but spreading faster.....

This is retarded scare mongering. I'm really getting sick of the Media doing stuff like this.

In my hometown, Aydin, that is a neighbor city of Izmir (Smyrna), some birds and chickens found dead.

You'll pray for me, won't you ? ~;p

Hmmph, tell that to the millions of chickens who died during this CRISIS either because of the flu, or the human sponsored chicken genocide...

It's near my home man, my family still lives in Aydin. What's more these "birds" do "fly", you know. Although I'm not alerted in a single neuron, I think I should be, should not I ?

SFTS the GMoAtT is not immune to Bird Flu yet, right ? Or have you been that "big" really ? ~:eek:
