Abramul Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 It appears that the 'bureaucratic face-saving' bit of the article refers to Bangladesh rather than India. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abramul Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Apparently, while H5N1 is fairly lethal to infected humans, it isn't particularly infectious to us. The threat is the potential for derivative strains that are both lethal and infectious. As for how many cases would be expected, I have no idea, and wouldn't know where to look. You might be able to find something on the CDC's website. You might also try the WHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Raven Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Thanks for the info and the update Satiarg, I too have been watching this issue for a while. Looking at human history however I come to the sad conclusion that we don't put up stoplights in intersections here in the U.S., until someone gets killed because that’s what it takes to justify the expense. Prevention does not seem to be as important as the money it takes to implement it. Look at New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina for this kind of attitude on a larger scale. I know I sound cynical as hell, but I have been around the sun a few to many times, its just he truth. I don’t like it, and I don’t agree with it, but that’s the way it is. I appreciate your voice of conscious on these forums. It will be people like you who will change the world. Stormraven Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Raven Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Well Stormraven, I agree we can't just rely on the government to protect us. We must get informed and prepaired. Thanks for your kind words but I'm just a homeless bum with a laptop and way to much time on his hands. A Bum is a person who does not think of any one but himself. Their world revolves completely around them. You, my friend do not qualify. You obviously care about the welfare of others.

Sativarg Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 Update: BEIJING - China has confirmed that a father and son who were sickened with bird flu are the country's first infections within the same family, but said their cases showed no evidence that the virus has changed into a form that can easily be passed between humans, according to the World Health Organization. The 24-year-old son from the eastern city of Nanjing died Dec. 2, becoming China's 17th fatality from the H5N1 bird flu virus. His 52-year-old father began showing symptoms a day later and was confirmed to have the disease. State media said the man, identified only by his surname Lu, was released Dec. 26 after 20 days in a hospital. ####################################Thanks Stormraven I kinda like #5 below.LOLI made $40 today shoveling snow caus of what you said. :thumbsup: RE: bum1 http://cache.lexico.com/g/d/premium.gif http://cache.lexico.com/dictionary/graphics/luna/thinsp.pnghttp://cache.lexico.com/g/d/speaker.gif /bʌm/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[buhm] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation noun, verb, bummed, bum·ming, adjective, bum·mer, bum·mest. –noun 1.a person who avoids work and sponges on others; loafer; idler. 2.a tramp, hobo, or derelict. 3.Informal. an enthusiast of a specific sport or recreational activity, esp. one who gives it priority over work, family life, etc.: a ski bum; a tennis bum. 4.Informal. an incompetent person. 5.a drunken orgy; debauch. –verb (used with object) 6.Informal. to borrow without expectation of returning; get for nothing; cadge: He's always bumming cigarettes from me. 7.Slang. to ruin or spoil: The weather bummed our whole weekend. –verb (used without object) 8.to sponge on others for a living; lead an idle or dissolute life. 9.to live as a hobo. –adjective Slang. 10.of poor, wretched, or miserable quality; worthless. 11.disappointing; unpleasant. 12.erroneous or ill-advised; misleading: That tip on the stock market was a bum steer. 13.lame: a bum leg. —Verb phrase14.bum around, Informal. to travel, wander, or spend one's time aimlessly: We bummed around for a couple of hours after work. —Idioms15.bum (someone) out, Slang. to disappoint, upset, or annoy: It really bummed me out that she could have helped and didn't. 16.on the bum, Informal. a.living or traveling as or in a manner suggesting that of a hobo or tramp. b.in a state of disrepair or disorder: The oven is on the bum again.
