Reminds me of the SARS scare and Mildly Peeved Cow Disease.

It was in a swan in england lol. Also its been around since 1997.

according to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) there has been a mortality rate of approximately 30% in confirmed cases, there have been around 200 confirmed cases worldwide since 1997. Also according to the CDC, thay suspect that there have been more cases of avian influenza that were merely diagnosed as a strain of normal, human influenza or simply undiagnosed, and therefore, the mortality rate is likely much lower. One family of 12 dying off due to avian influenza does not an epidemic make.

[edit] I just searched for an outbreak of avian influenza in Taiwan and was unable to find any mention of 11 members of a family of 12 dying there, not even in the Taiwan Government Information Office. I suppose you might have ment Thailand, but I didn't find a mention of it for their either. So, if you would like to enlighten me by giving me a link to something credible that mentions avian influenza wiping out a whole family, please do.

I read it in severa UK newspapers. The Sun and The Financial Times to name two. I did mean thailand. If they are the place that was technically illegally producing their own anti viral drug against it.

We've had Bird Flu since 2001 and it's like West Nile, half the people who get it don't even feel sick and it just passes by. Most of the deaths from the flu are old people or young children.

hahahahaha The Sun...

Never believe anything you read in there, its one of the worst of the tabloids, neevr backs stories up and blows thing even more out of proportion than fox news!

Bird flu is in europe apparantly, but no one seems to bat an eyelid

there was some big news stories when some swan dies last month and no one would go near it, not even the police

turns out it was just dead

First of all, you guys have really no business talking about this and i'll tell you why, not because your uneducated, but it's because of what you hear.

1.This is total media hype bull crap, the reason I say that is, have you ever heard the media talk about video games and guns? they will often say " fullautomatic weapon(s)" when the gun could be a weak little deringer that is no where near full auto not even close to semi-auto.
2.If you've heard scientists talking, you would hear that the Birdflu would have to change Specifically and the only people who will get it are the people that will come in direct contact with the birds.
3.Are you really that worried? if you saw that bogus movie (which reminded me of a zombie movie, actally quite amusing) it shows you the worst possible conditions, it seems like the general public filters what they want to hear and what the don't wanna hear. Worst case senario, you won't be able to go and grab the latest game from your local Target or Wal-Mart (bummer).
4.If you guys really want to know the truth, do some research, this little guy
(-_(-_-)_-) Click Me! will help you out, and don't search for your local tv station and look it up, go one some real websites that have the real info.

the bird flu is here in germany allready so on ebay you can get nise protection sets or t-shirts with nice slogans like "save your chicken","H5N1 inside"or"H5N1 on tour(and on the back there's a table with tourdata)"
so don't worry to much if you're going to die remember death is just another part of life

More people died of cancer, heart failures and car accidents while I typed this post than have or will die of BIRD FLU.

Chalk it up with Y2k, West Nile, SARS, Asteroids Hitting Earth, the Michaelangelo Virus, Atomic Holocaust and leprosy.
