what a load of toss.

50k to die in britain when only 60 or so have died in the far east and its been there for ages and they have next to no hygene or rules or regulations.

Got more chance of getting off a speeding ticket.

You must be watching TV on a different planet to the rest of us.

CALM DOWN, DONT PANIC, you'll get killed in a Hurricane in this country before you die of "Bird Flu"

I've been on this Planet for 54 years and "SURVIVED" MANY ASIAN FLU SCARES

If those dirty fuckers from the far east didn't treat animals like shit there wouldn't be a bird flu. Have you seen the conditions they leave them in No wonder bugs mutate, what goes around comes around

To be honest it's so much media hype as it always is.
Nobody in the health sector that I know of is any more scared of bird flu than they are of any other life threatening disease at present, other diseases are rife now...bird flu isn't even here yet....until it gets here prognosis' of death tolls and cases are just that....

I, as said above....won't be worried until it is in the UK. Bear in mind the 60 deaths from 117 cases were, in some cases, in areas where any sort of healthcare is a far cry from reality. Those people would possibly have died from a harsh case of normal flu...who knows?

All in all....calm now....panic when you are the only person left in your village and chickens are swarming in through your front door

I was a butcher, trust me, compared to them we are unbelievably hygenic They gut, kill and store them in the street. We're talking cats, dogs, everything and anything and no cleansing whatsoever. It is gross.

it is a bird flu, as simple as that.

you can't catch it unless your in contact with infected birds, it doesn't spread from person to person!!! yes they say it could mutate, but then i could grow another 4 inches on the end of my knob ( wow 16 inches )

It's only killed 60 ppl since it emerged in Hong Kong in 1997... And it’s getting all this hype.

It's crazy. The poor bloke who started this thread seems really worried about it but it's all sooooo over hyped in the media. My advice is only read reputable newspapers. They said in The Times months ago how over hyped it is and gave u all the hard facts.

The way the media is hyping this right up is crazy...

For once Ima is serious and right It will happen, if the bubonic plague had been today with planes, trains and automobliles it would have wiped out most of humanity. We're so clever and so superior a microscopic bug could wipe us out
