What do you think will happen?


[i:b5ccdfbecf]The arrival of Bird Flu will become known as the beggining of the end.


I HAVE FORSEEN IT. . .[/i:b5ccdfbecf]

It won't let me post. I did have the sciencey stuff, but it won't let me post it :S.

Um, right. I think the thing at the end of your sentence was meant to be a smilly.

Anyone else? This is a serious topic.

OK, basically, it is hard for Bird Flu to transfer to humans, and mutation is unlikey.

Um, for once I think your wrong.

The whole threat of this Bird Flu thing is that the H5M1 strain of the virus transfers to humans easily.

Nope, it doesn't. It CAN transfer to humans, but it is very hard for it.

Yeah exept for the fact its on its 5 mutation of 8 in its life cycle. there was an outbreak just after the first world war. some hguy studied it and found that when it hits the eight mutation it can transfer from basically ne thing to ne thing else. 6-7 is where its easy fro humans to catch the disease from WILD birds. Normal farm brids should be fine if they are kept indoors.

I knew it.

WE'RE ALL DOOMED!

It's an unlikely mutation. It's overhyped.

Species youre being overdramatic

Just what I thought...

actaully it only took 6 months for it to go from the strain we have currently to the ne thing to nething virus. So i think by maybe early next year (if we havent found a cure) we COULD be in deep do do. but brobably wont. we do have one of the best health services in the world.......

As I had said: WE ARE ALL DOOMED!

Time to leave the planet. Life as we know it is doomed.

Seriously, the H5N1 strain has spread damn fast. If there is one of those 8th mutation thingies, humanity faces a VERY real threat.

Like i said, it MIGHT! With our wheather and if conditions are right it will kill itslef out. Remeber that keeping birds inside will slow down the transfer of the virus alot! Its some stupid farmer that didnt listen and now all his birds have to be culled. It will basically be like Foot and Mouth all over again!
