seems like this is developing into what scientists feared

[-live-wire-]

it's quite the scare !

[Terry]

And look what they are doing to the Birds, I dont know if I should be affraid of the Flu or afraid what they will do to me if I get it....


They are confusing me a bit though The scientists said when it was in asia a couple of years ago they needed a carier of the human strain to make a antidote<--(sorry spellings terrible..) well why dont they treat the birds as they are cariers wouldnt it be easier to get rid of it that way instaed of killing the poor birds as they kill the birds if they have it or not.

Well I hope they dont pick me up by my legs, with my arms flapping and drop me into a plastic bin....

Ill be wishing the flu takes me first......

But on a serious note, I would rather be killed by something natural like the flu, Than say someone pushing a cirtain Red button But if its going to happen its just going to happen, They have had ages to come up with something and as usual they leave it till the last minute before doing anything.

na it should be no trouble if them farmers have all the bases cover for.

will if i die Trojan can have every thing i have in this world, if he take it then he must take all the bills i owe too.

Well the bird flu has to cross with a human flu before it becomes a pandemic, unless we all decide to handle live chickens for a living.

Government heres going crazy about it, should it cross, there are plans comepletely lock down the entire country, stop all internatoinal flights coming into australia, halt all imports and such...

There does seem to be a lot of fear about thsi possible outbreak!!!!

im not so sure, i thinks its partly a fear campaign by the politicians, anyone remember Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome?

They had better handle this threat carefully or it could devastate the poultry industry world wide. Just think think how many turkeys are due to be sold for thanksgiving in America and then shortly after Christmas will be here!

Mike you hit it on the head m8, Why do they think its going to be such a big outbreak?
60 died in asia they are reporting at lease 50,000 could die in the UK, I wonder who does their maths and why it is such super strength by the time it gets to us....

[Rampage.]
