No problem with paranoia... At least, mild cases are okay.

No problem. I am very paranoid, therefore I read all the articles. Heh. Sad. . .

Thanks Green! I think that was more informative than my article.

Here's the link to the article. On MSNBC but from Newsweek.

Pfft. No she doesn't. That's ignorant America's problem.

Well have you considered your government(s) could be lying to you about it being contained?

nope. because our government doesnt lie about these matters, anyway it was one parrot that died in quarantine.

Thanks Green!

It was this week's. I'll google it tonight or tomorrow and get back to you.

I love how I'm about 9 hours away from the border of Mexico. That's fantastic!

Well have you considered your government(s) could be lying to you about it being contained?

bird flu is on the news every day here, it has reached germany, croatia, romania, UK and Turkey, in Turkey and the UK the birds died in quarantine and the flu contained. In the UK the flu no longer exists, although its only a matter of tim euntil it spreads to all of europe, its effects are totally unknown, but some estimate 50,000 dead in the UK on onset of an epidemic, im not sure how many an epidemic could claim.

but just to mention i dont think it will happen, not the worst case scenario anyway.

Do you know which week that article was published? Yeah, that definitely sounds interesting. Post it if you can find it on the internet, okay Green? Thanks!

Its rather disturbing, really. And as citizens outside the medical community, we're essentially just waiting for something to happen.

I think it could become as deadly as the 1918 flu, if China doesn't try to keep it more comtained, but their poor health system doesn't help either. It just needs a mutation, or a combination with a human strand, and according to Newsweek, it already has 5 of the 10 mutations that were characteristic of the Spanish Flu. Newsweek had a very informative article on it; you should check it out.
