Pandemic? Epidemic? Outbreak? I mean, really, there is not a single case in this country or anywhere else in North America. There are NO documented cases of it ever being transmitted human to human. Are we to just be scared of things that just could happen, that there is a possibility it could mutate? Well, the AIDS epidemic is real, and people are still contracting the disease and dying from it all over the world, but especially in countries that can least afford the devastation it is causing. Let's stop the epidemic that is happening, now.

hi, if so it is a global hoax, I come from Norway, and we have not getting any signs of bird flu here, but just a bit over the border to Sweden there was 2 cases, but no humans involved. however, it is first if the virus mutates and begin to make people sick, so the virus is going from human to human then we might have a problem, the last big one was in 1968 i believe, but it may go both ways
as we are more aware today. but it could get ugly.
peace and love from Norway

Uncle Sam loves to use the scare tactics don't they. Republicans are experts, they say "we need to reduce your freedoms for national security". You have "wiretapping", or bank records monitoring, or book store spying and a hundred other classified things. Ever notice when Bush gets caught doing these things Osama Bin Laden conveniently releases a tape.
Scare tactics have worked for uncle SAM so they keep going with what works. I'll bet you'll find out some politician has stock in the company's that make the shots that help protect against this bird flu.

Yes and no. The Bushies like to play on America's fears and have certainly pushed the fear button with Avian Flu. HOWEVER, superflus are no hoax. You should familirize yourself with the Influenza epidemic of 1918. It killed more people globally than WWI, which was going on at the same time.
Check out American Experience: Influenza, 1918 or Stanford University's excellent site.

you're in all likelihood going to get some wild solutions to this question, yet verify this out: "faith is the opiate of the thousands"- is a admired quote by Lenin, an athiest, who became arguably the most evil man or woman in the international. It has continuously been argued that there is not any data there's a God, that this is in simple terms blind faith that keeps religious human beings content textile. even as the bible is referenced, that's regarded because the word of God, notwithstanding it became obviously written by mortal guy. What faith all started as became a idea that there became something higher than themselves available, that there became some intending to the secret of early existence in the international. faith isn't evil, evil is in each and every man or woman's heart, some in simple terms indulge in it and throw distain at authentic believers. Others word of it, and attempt to make human beings conscious that they are regularly weak to this is impact. adult men nevertheless are evil even as unchecked and allowed to flow without duty for his or her moves. even as there is not any responsibility, many human beings in simple terms fail to do the right difficulty. once you stumble on a wallet on the sidewalk, do you're looking for the owner? And what about the three hundred greenbacks interior!

Yes. And any time I hear anything on the news (and I mean ANYTHING) I always ask myself "Now WHY should I believe that?" Believe half of what you hear and almost none of what you see and you should be fine.
