Reply #21: Did someone tell you that the "great flu" was going to strike......

[Media_Lies_Daily]

...last year? Did anyone tell you that it was going to strike this year? How about next year?

All we've been told about the next pandemic is that conditions are right for it to start, regardless of when it starts. Migratory birds are spreading the H5N1 flu variant worldwide, and domestic animals are being infected at a rapid rate.

By the way, if you think the Avian Flu is just like any other flu, you would be sadly mistaken. The stuff percolating in Asia is killing about 50% of those it infects...a far cry from the sub-1% killed by the so-called normal flu. Even the terrible 1918 Influenza Pandemic didn't kill more than 5% worldwide.

The reason for the high death rate is the fact that humans don't have any natural immunity to the H5N1 Avian Flu strains.

One more comment...do you recall the recent breakdown in the social, legal, and political structures of New Orleans due to the effects of Katrina? Try wrapping your mind around what could happen if the Avian Flu begins infecting people and the U. S. medical/health/hospital system breaks down nationwide.
