Re: What happened to bird flu?
 

Don't worry, according to tonight's programme we're all doomed, doomed I tell you!:D




About fifteen minutes of interesting fact, and an hour and a quarter of sensationalist reconstructions, and supposition presented as fact.

Bird flu is bad if you happen to be a migrating goose or maybe a duck that copulates with an asian hen but no threat to humans.. by the way.. what happend to SARS? this was also supposed to wipe out 50% of mankind.

Re: What happened to bird flu?
 

The experts on pandemics all said in the programme last night that this avian strain will mutate to a human strain, just as it did in 1918, when it killed millions. How they know 100% and gave that as fact, seemed rather sensationalist.

Re: What happened to bird flu?
 

Well if they say its gonna happen it must be true.. my god we really are doomed, thats it .. no more kentucky fried chicken, hot wings, or zingers.. will life as we know it ever be the same?( did they have chickens in 1918?)

They have been in the lab sniffing dodgy gear again. The scientist of today is too relient on computer models for my liking especially as there is no such thing as a Joe Average in any age group. Some who should be suseptble wont and some who shouldnt will. Personally its all down to how much money they can get for research. Nothing better than a good panic to get the money they want though not need.

Re: What happened to bird flu?
 

It said it will only kill one in ten, mainly 20-35 year olds, though how they can give this as fact is a mystery.

This old git should be alright then.:)

See ya.:D

Re: What happened to bird flu?
 

You reached 80 then or is that just the age you felt when you fell out of bed this morning? ;):p

Re: What happened to bird flu?
 

Thats nice Garinda.. "I'm alright jack" sort of attitude..but will you ever be able to look at a 20-35yr old duck in the eyes again?

Re: What happened to bird flu?
 

Nothing like a scare mongering programme to get the gullible public wondering.

It sounded more like a case of “we need more funds” than a genuine pandemic warning. Too full of ifs, buts, and maybes to make it a credible warning.

If 1 in 10 under 35’s might get a human strain of bird flu, that means that 9 out of 10 might not. I can live with those odds especially as I am outside the target range.

There is a crow staggering around my garden and I’ve just sneezed three times on the bounce and my nose is running.

What does that mean? Am I ………….. Gulp!

Yes Rindy, you will probably shake it off easier than most!:p

Now to get you all thinking would it be 20-35 in actual age years ie 1978-2006 = 28 years or your biological age of your body age 30 years biologically have the body of a 25 year old (this can also be 25 actual 30 biological)

If so how many of you though above the thresh hold age wise are biologically "in the zone" sadley I am. :(
