Bird Flu time to get alarmed or will just blow over?

[adrian29uk]

Who is worried about this Bird Flu, do you think it will blow over.

Got to admit because I watch the news quite a bit I am more aware of it at the moment.

If you see a seagull sneezing rather than crapping then run for the hills!

It needs to mutate before it can be transmitted human to human. If it doesn't and you don't shag chickens, you should be OK.

Booked my Holiday in Turkey!

I've had a f***ing cold since the first week of DECEMBER, still coughing up phlem (sp?) this morning and NO I'm not a smoker!
Think its time to have 3 vindaloos on the trot to burn the fucker out!

You should only worry if you are a poultry farmer.
Apparently the kids in Turkey had been playing with dead birds

So did Dennis Nielson, but he never got bird flu.

I got a gobble off some Turkish bird last summer, should I be worried?

Yes. Even more than if you had been playing with dead birds.

Paperwork that I have seen reckons that in the next 12-18 months the epidemic/pandemic will hit, and will hit hard. It is overdue, but there is really very little you can do about it. Unless you are in certain key jobs, you won't get any form of vaccination, and even if you do, they can't guarantee that the disease will not be resistant. Looking at 30% of the UK being serioulsy incapacitated for a two - three week period, suitable plans are drawn up. Hopefully better than those for F&M, etc....

Happy New Year.....still, it will give MM the chance to be even MORE creative with the players' positions!

Anyone else think it's suspicios that bird flu is rampant in a country called Turkey?
I suspect fowl play.

Tamiflu is the most promising medication against the current strain of virus.
Since early November its price to the public for 2 treatments has risen from £105 to £195. How long before we see it on E bay?

Where do you get that figure from? Tamiflu is a prescription drug, so shouldn't cost more than £6.50 if you obtain through the NHS.

Do you honestly believe that the government has laid in enough stocks for a Pandemic.
The laws of supply and demand will rapidly swing into action.
