Bird flu protection anyone started?

[blablabla]

I found this article today:

http://today.reuters.co.uk/news/news...-SCIENTIST.xml

I must admit I am close to start order bird flu protection fit. Anybody else thinking of this??

[Furious_Male]

What should such a kit contain?

[Sosa]

fuck that

[blablabla]

My suggestion would be the following:

FFP3 disposable valved respirators
Safety Googles
hand sanitizer gel
disposable gloves

Anybody got good ideas where to purchase?

[blablabla]

Keep on shooting the birds, but the flu will come with your best friend if this virus is evolving in China as stated!

Ppl are just too worried about this problem. I just came back from China, and there are only about 150 ppl died from bird flu. Are there any reasons to worry so soon?

China is known for their ability to hide things from other nations. Why not this flu also as also suggested by an expert from China that got several proofs of the virus already hitting everywhere in China. Try read the article first....

And SARS was gonna be the end of the world too, along with AIDS and 8 billion other things they try to scare us with on a regular basis. I doubt very seriously if the bird flu spread your punky ass respirator is going to help shit when it's all around you. BTW did you stock up for Y2K? I want to buy some MREs in bulk.

[chadglni]

Shit SARS might be worse than AIDS, oh nos!!!!!

[Dirty Dane]

2 dead in 10 years out of a population of over 1 billion..




nope.. I wont risk this; bigger chance of getting killed on the way to the drugstore.

[chadglni]

Be careful outside everyone, someone might decide to pick you off with a sniper rifle for no reason. :2cents:

[justsexxx]

Nope not here....Doesn't it affect weak ppl, who are close with birds anyway?

1. I am not weak
2. I don't have close contacts with birds

[blablabla]

yeah but the word "bird flu" should bring some attention to ppl since we live in a world with birds and it looks like this virus is now adapting in the birds so the bird is not dying immediatly, thus bringing the virus to all areas of the world!

[RayBonga]

This is just SARS all over again.

If I bought anything it would be tamiflu (may have a different name in the US), it's a drug from Merck that is believed to fight bird flu.

yeah I read that one also, thats why I want to focus on protection kits only. Plus its impossible to get that medicine by now!

[Linkster]

Tamiflu doesnt even protect from bird flu - the only reason people are clamoring for it (and the US is buying tons of it) is because of the nice kickback Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld gets for it - he used to be the CEO of the company that owns the patent and has a real nice piece of stock futures as well as residuals from every sale. (Why do you thing the news media is getting fed all the fear-mongering shit)
Once scientists actually get a real case in a human that has caught it (which so far hasnt happened) to be able to study the makeup of it - they can generate a vaccine for it

Look you fucking moron, know what the fuck you are talking about before you open your ignorant mouth.

Here are the FACTS people:

The original original home to the flu virus (not the current "bird flu" strain, but ALL FLU'S) was in migrating waterfowl, like ducks and geese.

Over the years, the virus has mutated - altered its genes - so that it can infect other animals, like pigs, dogs, horses and humans.

The first recorded appearance of the H5N1 virus was on a chicken farm in Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1959. It was a relatively mild variety that did little damage at first, but spread to Asia, infected domestic poultry and mutated into a highly lethal form.

H5N1 was detected in domestic geese in southern China in 1996 and then in Hong Kong, where the first reported human fatalities occurred in 1997. Eighteen people were infected and six died, but a mass slaughter of chickens temporarily stamped out the disease.

In 2003, however, H5N1 resurfaced in Hong Kong and South Korea. Since then it has spread to 15 countries in Asia and Eastern Europe. It has sickened more than 120 people and killed 67 of them, a mortality rate of more than 50 percent.

So here we have this KILLER virus that has been around since 1959, with no human fatality till 1997 and now we count the days to our destruction.

120 deaths from the "bird flu" in 3 years, thats 40 per year. Now can anyone tell me how many deaths from the normal flu occur each year?

According to the CDC 36,000.
