NEWS: Bird Flu Hits Russia's Siberia Region.

Between 200 and 300 chickens and ducks have died as a result of a H5 type bird flu in a village in Siberia's Novosibirsk area. The virus has been found in four regions and it is the first time that the Avian flu has been detected in the country. No human cases have been recorded and the strain is so far not considered to be a strain of the virus that is dangerous to humans.



It seems that daily now we are receiving new broadcasts and news of the Avian Bird Flu. Either there was never this many deaths from the disease in poultry than what we are currently seeing, or it was never reported on widely until now. Today the world is being warned of the dangers if the flu crosses strains and mutates affecting more and more humans. Now the disease in one of it's forms is being found in a country never before affected by this disease.

If there is a pandemic, what will happen? Hospitals will quickly fill, pharmacies will be stripped of medicines, ventilators will not be available to the masses people will panic and many countries already crippled health systems may collapse under the strain.

It is no wonder in light of the dangers that the world leaders are preparing, but i don't think a country could ever be fully prepared for a mass, high fatality disease pandemic.

Yikes this is getting beyond scary :shk:

My uncle died of West Nile Virus a couple of years back. He was up there in years and it killed him in a matter of days. I'm not sure that I fully understand the reasons why this strain of the flu is more scary than the strains we face yearly. I didn't get a flu shot last year to save vaccine for the really old folks . I got a pretty nasty case of the flu, but I did survive, much to the disappointment of my legions of detractors. We really should not worry too much about such matters. The race will survive and will be stronger and more hardy, to boot.

Governments need a boogeyman to consolidate control.

The Republicans have terrorists, the Democrats have the economy, but the NWO needs something bigger and scarier to consolidate world power.

AIDS, SARS, Nad Cow,Avian flu...the sort of things the WHO claims jurisdiction over and responds to internationally with their people. Something so primally terrifying that people will kiss the ring at even the possibility of it happening.

Worldwide nuclear war was a good consolidator back in the day. It was something most people could be aware of but never control. A terrorist can be shot and killed. A germ, OTOH...insidious, deadly, and even your best friend can deliver it to you.

The Media and worldwide power players won't rest until we're all terrified of something-and are really upset that Bush has pre-empted world terrorism for them. This gives him bio-terrorism as well.

That's why more reports are on naturally communicated plagues or so undetectable as to be almost mystical "prion" diseases. And almost no WHO or Media announcements of easily weaponized stuff like antrax, or various pulmonary diseases out of Mexico, primarily brought by illegal immigrants.

The Russian Ministry for Emergency Situations is worried that the bird flu could spread from the eastern part to the western "European" part of Russia. How could it spread? Migrating wild birds...

Scientist now say the Bird Flu will hit Europe

MOSCOW — Russian authorities, struggling to contain an outbreak of avian flu that has killed thousands of birds in Siberia, acknowledged Thursday that a spread of the virus into Europe seemed almost inevitable.

"It is quite likely that the flu will creep westward. What else can it do? The infection is picking up momentum," said Viktor Maleyev, deputy director of the Russian Health Ministry's Institute of Epidemiology.

Equally worrisome, health officials confirmed that the outbreak included H5N1, a strain that has been known to affect humans. Scientists fear that expansion of the virus' terrain increases the risk of a major outbreak within the human population.

Although there have been isolated cases of avian flu around the world, including in the U.S., the most dangerous strain of the virus has appeared mostly in Asia, with human cases reported in Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand and Cambodia.
