[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

This whole Bird Flu thing is complete bullshit and is the latest of a long line of Government lies to keep us scared and show us that they are in charge and know best.

What that map is telling us is that in Thailand, in just under two years, 8 people died of bird flu out of a population of approx 57 million and in Vietnam a wopping 16 people died in a country whose population is almost 70 million.

How many people died in house fires in that time?
Or were run over by runaway rikshaws?
Or mauled to death by rabid donkeys?

They are the unscariest statistics ever.  How is it that suddenly, 50,000 people WILL die in the UK according to the super soaraway Daily Mail.  It may mutate we ar told. Hmmmm....then again it may not.  Fuck off Blair and stop trying to scare us.  Just concentrate on running the country you cunt.

[yeo]

I want to know why its so likely to mutate into a human virus.

Why not Cats or Cows ?

Totally agree, just like Bush did with terrorism to get re-elected.

We may get 'Asian Flu Sore Throat' and a slight feeling of 'not feeling very well at all and wanting a day off' - FACT

Not sure about a government thing.  I think its more pointless media hype.

Cos at the moment it's duck slaughtering time in Vietnam and also (coincidentally) human flu time.
So, bird virus + human virus - love each other long time (only $100)
make very infectious new virus what we can't handle.

although it might all be bullshit though

ask Reg - he'll know

[Reg Smeeton]

See Ron knows.

Shit - the old homily of rubbing your chest with goose-fat sounds like Russian-roulette nowadays.
