Hello all very good to see the very deep information regarding the bird flu which is very dangerous disease .It comes from birds .Influenza virus is responsible for that .Obviously this will spreads from person to person .We have to face very big loss due and we are facing this .Well Relenza is most famous medication which i heard.
drugdelivery.ca is also a drug company who is providing this online.

I have a hard time seeing how we’re going to avoid the following:
A human with human flu comes into contact with a bird with birdflu, gets contaminated and the two vira exchange genes and become a THIRD type of flu-vira, that transmits between humans.
During the past 300 years there have been 10 documented flu-pandemics, so it seems that on the average there’s one every 30 years. The last time there was one was 37 years ago.
Yes, The Spanish Flu did kill some 30-50 million people back in 1918-19. It was the end of WWI, the world was in chaos. Medical technology has advanced greatly since then, but the UN estimates some 150 mio dying if a new pandemic strikes.
Does that mean YOU will die? Nope. We usually don’t die from a flu, which we get from different types of flu-vira (AMONG them, incidentially the one that caused the Spanish Disasease H1N1). Flu kills weak people, and people with heart- and lung-disorders such as AIDS-patients.
If you’re otherwise healthy you’ll just get ANOTHER flu, lie ill, get better and get back up on your feet.
Being vaccinated against old and know flu-vira won’t protect anyone from a new, previously unknown flu-vira.
So what’s the big deal? The deal is the risk of social and economic collapse if every 4th person on Earth falls ill AT APP THE SAME TIME!! And 2,5 % of the world’s population dies.
It’s not the severity of the flu itself that’s the problem – it’s that it’ll strike ALL over the world within weeks. With the mobility in the world today, the new flu virus H?N? will have got all over the world before the doctors even know it’s here.
Personally I think it’s just a matter of time before H5N1 mutates, how are we going to prevent that? But as soon as the new virus has been identified medical companies are ready to start working on a vaccine.
bird flu this and bird flu that. Some chap in a shop asked if the discount chickens for sale were ok or did you think they maybe they were cheap because of bird flu! Are people really that stupid? please do the Math, think of how many countries this supposed Bird Flu has travelled through, think of all the billions of people who live in those countries and then weigh that against the amount of reported human deaths, nearly all of which are questionable to say the least. It is in the low hundreds.
all of the 'talking points' constantly discussed and reported on in the corporate media, and which unfortunately is so pervasive, are nothing more than political propaganda weapons of mass distraction. They have been purposefully sewn into the national debate, in this instance to reinforce the false belief that there is indeed a crisis, and that it has been rampaging across Asia.
Nothing could be further from the truth. That their disinformation campaign is working, is adequately demonstrated by the average populace response. For more information on this subject, please read the following excerpt on the control of freedom of speech at www.whatareweswallowing.co.uk.
You have more chance of dying from human combustion than from bird flu. all big lies engineered to make us take the poison through a needle.
its not a big crisis as its made out to be.

Anyone else preparing for it?[b]Introduction
The rapid spread of bird flu, which is not uncommon among chickens and other fowl, has caught the attention of global health authorities.
What is it?
avian influenza that routinely infect birds around the world. The current outbreak is caused by a strain known as H5N1, which is highly contagious among birds and rapidly fatal. Unlike many other strains of avian influenza, it can be transmitted to humans, causing severe illness and death.
Bird flu is not the same as SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome). Although their symptoms are similar, SARS is caused by completely different viruses. Influenza viruses also are more contagious and cannot be as readily contained as SARS by isolating people who have the infection.Why the concern?
Influenza viruses are highly unstable and have the ability to mutate rapidly, potentially jumping from one animal species to another. Scientists fear the bird flu virus could evolve into a form that is easily spread between people, resulting in an extremely contagious and lethal disease. This could happen if someone already infected with the human flu virus catches the bird flu. The two viruses could recombine inside the victim’s body, producing a hybrid that could readily spread from person to person.
The resulting virus likely would be something humans have never been exposed to before. With no immune defenses, the infection could cause devastating illness, such as occurred in the 1918-19 Spanish flu pandemic, which killed an estimated 40 million to 50 million worldwide.Transmission
In rural areas, the H5N1 virus is easily spread from farm to farm among domestic poultry through the feces of wild birds. The virus can survive for up to four days at 71 F (22 C) and more than 30 days at 32 F (0 C). If frozen, it can survive indefinitely.
So far in this outbreak, human cases have been blamed on direct contact with infected chickens and their droppings. People who catch the virus from birds can pass it on to other humans, although the disease is generally milder in those who caught it from an infected person rather than from birds.If the virus mutates and combines with a human influenza virus, it could be spread through person-to-person transmission in the same way the ordinary human flu virus is spread.
History
The current outbreak of bird flu is different from earlier ones in that officials have been unable to contain its spread. An outbreak in 1997 in Hong Kong was the first time the virus had spread to people, but it was much more quickly contained. A total of 18 people were hospitalized with six reported deaths. About 1.5 million chickens were killed in an effort to remove the source of the virus.
Unlike the 1997 scare, this outbreak has spread more rapidly to other countries, increasing its exposure to people in varied locations and raising the likelihood that the strain will combine with a human influenza virus.Symptoms
Bird flu can cause a range of symptoms in humans. Some patients report fever, cough, sore throat and muscle aches. Others suffer from eye infections, pneumonia, acute respiratory distress and other severe and life-threatening complications.
Treatment
Flu drugs exist that may be used both to prevent people from catching bird flu and to treat those who have it. The virus appears to be resistant to two older generic flu drugs, amantadine and rimantadine. However, the newer flu drugs Tamiflu and Relenza are expected to work – though supplies could run out quickly if an outbreak occurs.
Currently there is no vaccinePrevention
Rapid elimination of the H5N1 virus among infected birds and other animals is essential to preventing a major outbreak. The World Health Organization recommends that infected or exposed flocks of chickens and other birds be killed in order to help prevent further spread of the virus and reduce opportunities for human infection. However, the agency warns that safety measures must be taken to prevent exposure to the virus among workers involved in culling.
My fathers' are stocking up on canned foods and water. [/B]
its so stupid. I hadn't heard about the Bird flu since like October of last year, and then last week it was on CNN, people warning us because they think someone in London might have it 🙄
I'm sorry, but I can't believe EVERYTHING that the government/news tells me.
Like the Y2K crap. I knew that was bullsh!t, my brother stocked up on rice, water, powered milk, spam peanut butter and crackers. it's ridiculous.
The bird flu is just like SARs. I'm not worried about and you shouldn't be either

Although I am not concerned about the bird flu, SARS killed quite a few people and was quite a concern in Toronto (20 minutes from where I live) Ontario. I do believe that we should have a healthy respect for the diseases that we are onleashing on oursleves, but I see no need for panic as it only worsens a situation.
I'm avoiding poultry. I know it's kind of irrational for me to do so and I don't truly believe I'm going to contract avian flu but I can't bring myself to eat chicken, duck and so on. I cooked myself a chicken bloody kiev the other night without even thinking about it, sat down to eat it and just couldn't. It's ridiculously frustrating and clearly I have fallen foul to the media coverage without actually making a conscientious decision to stop eating certain types of meat. Haha, 'fallen foul'. Bad pun ermm
Edit; and yet, you know, I've smoked for over ten years. No threat big enough to concern my subconscious there, obviously. How utterly retarded.
