Hi Backbencher...
Es besteht aus ein sammelsorium von Avian Flu Epidemic berichte nachdem ich anfang november paar komische flash-traeume hatte wegen eien kommende pandemie, und ich fing da an zu posten und unsere foris da zu warnen...

Additional escalating international woes begining this year 2005 -- contibuted to a combined convergence of weather and ecolocical problems, crop failures, droughts, plagues, economic collapse, more earthquakes and tsunamis, political unrest, wars and serious major powers in conflict mode...
"AND THAT IS IT, BE PREPARED TO HIT THE ICEBERG SOMEWHERE NEXT SUMMER/FALL 2006. UNLESS THE ANNOUNCED BIRD FLU ROCKS THE MARKETS THIS WINTER/SPRING, THIS IS THE VERY LAST TIME THE DELAY OF THE GLOBAL CRASH IS PREDICTED."

Excerpts from around the world...
Saturday October 29, 2005 - Two more suspected human deaths from bird flu have been reported in Vietnam... The victims, a 14-year-old girl and a 26-year-old man, had eaten duck and a chicken's egg around a week before they fell ill. The girl died on October 23 and the man on October 26.
10/28 - The World Health Organization (WHO) pressed China on Friday to provide information on a 12-year-old girl who Chinese officials say died of pneumonia, but who was initially suspected of contracting deadly bird flu... The girl's 9-year-old brother is reported to be in a stable condition in hospital, also with pneumonia
The World Health Organisation (WHO) warned that if bird flu arrived in Africa, the risk of human infection could match that in Asia and "push fragile health systems close to the brink of collapse"... Poultry production systems in Africa would create "multiple opportunities for human exposure", according to the WHO... And in Africa, early detection of the virus among humans... is unlikely, according to WHO. "Surveillance systems, with rare exceptions, are not sufficiently sensitive to pick up clusters of human cases - a critical early warning signal that the virus is improving its transmissibility," it added.
One of the many mysteries of bird flu is that it has not infected more people... Farmers at large poultry facilities and those who transport, sell and slaughter birds daily typically have not been infected since the virus began spreading through Asia in late 2003... The disease has attacked mostly healthy children and young adults... In Thailand and Cambodia, researchers calculated the median age of those infected: 14 in Thailand and 22 in Cambodia. For the Vietnam outbreak in 2004, they calculated an average age of 14.
...It's possible some people could have a pre-existing immunity protecting them, but there has been no research to prove that... More children may be at risk because they're closer to the ground, crawling or walking barefoot across earth... Dr. Frederick G. Hayden is a virus expert from the University of Virginia, who also participated in writing the paper... "Clearly, this is a virus that is incredibly pathogenic in multiple species and so it really requires careful monitoring," Hayden said from Ho Chi Minh City... "This is a virus that is a global threat. There's no question about it, so the questions that can be answered here will have implications on an international scope."
Indonesia's human bird flu outbreak is puzzling experts because several victims do not work or live around poultry, prompting an investigation into whether other animal hosts, perhaps cats, are to blame for the disease's spread.
...I Wayan Teguh Wibawan, from the Bogor Institute of Agriculture, said the data on human infection in Indonesia was "puzzling". "We have suspected cases in isolated areas, far from any potential sources of contamination such as poultry or pig farms, and on the other hand, we have almost no suspected human infection cases among workers in the poultry industries, including those hit by the bird flu."
...Chaerul Nidom, a bird flu expert from Airlangga University in Surabaya, East Java, suspects that other animals might be carrying the virus and transmitting it to humans while showing no ill effects from infection themselves... "The most likely candidates are cats," he said, citing research in Thailand where infections were last year found in domestic cats, though with no evidence it was in turn being passed on to humans.
Clustering of human cases of H5N1 avian flu infections has occurred on at least 15 occasions since late 2003 and limited human-to-human transmission of the virus may have occurred in several of these groupings, researchers will report in an upcoming issue of the scientific journal Emerging Infectious Diseases... Mathematical modelling work published in August suggests an emerging pandemic strain could be snuffed out at source. But success was predicated on rapid identification of clustering of cases and likely human-to-human spread so that contacts of infected people could be quickly placed on antiviral drugs.
Members of Congress are questioning why the Bush administration recently offered them confidential briefings about avian influenza. In meetings earlier this month in a secret room in the Capitol, representatives of the Health and Human Services Department and the intelligence community gave a "bird flu" presentation to congressional leaders and staffers that included at least one slide classified "top secret"
...U.S. intelligence agencies have also published a colorful brochure - labeled for official use only - advising public-health officials on what symptoms to look for in both humans and animals. A version of the brochure has been printed for distribution to foreign-government officials. But the version for foreigners differs from the U.S. version by omitting from its cover page logos for the various U.S. intel agencies - including the CIA, Defense Intelligence Agency and National Intelligence Council - which helped to prepare the booklet.
Border closures, travel restrictions and the impact of a bird flu epidemic on tourism and business will be discussed at the first meeting of disaster managers from Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation countries next week. The meeting is in Brisbane Australia on Monday.
A ban on the sale or display of birds in markets, shows or fairs will take effect, the British Government has announced... and the London restaurant, Roussillon, in Sloane Square, which has a Michelin star, removed all dishes involving birds from its menu yesterday, as a precaution... Sales of chicken are reported to have fallen 40 per cent in Italy and 20 per cent in France since the scare over bird flu began. But the British Poultry Council said sales in the UK were unaffected... Ministers are in urgent talks with industry experts on the possibility of instructing poultry farmers to bring free-range chickens indoors.
Demand for a flu medicine is so extreme that the drug's maker has stopped shipping it to private U.S. suppliers... Tamiflu, a prescription drug designed to treat regular flu, is running scarce... "We've seen recently some very large purchases at the wholesale level, companies or large entities who are possibly hoarding Tamiflu right now," said Darien Wilson, spokeswoman at Roche's U.S. offices in Nutley, N.J.
...Published reports suggest that some doctors are keeping supplies of Tamiflu to give to family and friends in case the bird flu mutates into a bigger threat to people, but no doctors reached for this story admitted that.
PARIS : Researchers have identified a mutated form of H5N1 bird flu virus that is resistant to Tamiflu, the drug being stockpiled around the world to counter a feared influenza pandemic, a study released on Friday said... The strain was found in a 14-year-old Vietnamese girl suspected of having caught it from her brother rather than directly from infected birds... However, tests on ferrets showed that the resistant virus was sensitive to another drug called zanamivir, commercialised as Relenza, the research said

basecamp2000:
It is mind boggling that an epidemic could shut down large areas of the United States through enormous quarantine measures, but it has been reported that the Bush Administration has contingency plans to that effect if it should come to an outbreak and spread of this deadly virus. A similar virus in 1918 killed 50 million people worldwide and 675,000 in the United States.
This nightmare would cause supply disruptions of catastrophic proportions resulting in economic collapse of the US economy in a matter of a few months.
No groceries, no fuel, entire companies and businesses shut down for wekks, months... hospitals and medical centers totally overwhelmed and unable to cope with such an enormous mountain of cases and complications.
...but there are other possible pandemics on the horizon too, as a result of temperate warming and moisture with the increase in vectors and transmitting insects such as mosquitos, ticks... West Nile, Malaria, Lyme's... also a host of animal diseases in addition to avian flu now killing millions of wild and domestic birds around the world and spreading fast...
It was all prophesied... it will come to pass.
