H5N1 (Bird Flu)

The H5N1 problem is getting worse. There is one new case in Jordan and another two cases in Egypt, all in humans. Experts from the World Health Organization say that bird flu will hit Canada this summer, and our lazy government has still not come up with a plan.

Give your opinion on what our government should do and what you think is going to happen if an epidemic starts.

i dunno, a giant net around canada to keep them damn immigrant birds out might do

I was thinking maybe we should have open bird season.

Don't more people die from the common cold?

the H5N1 bird flu is probably a product of biological warfare experiments

That is a possibility. But I doubt it.

Well if it's a WMD it is really doing poorly.. only a 103 deaths so far. I might be a couple deaths behind. But almost anything else has a better kill ratio right now. I mean isn't people dieing from chocking on pretzels more common.

i suspect it has a programmed mutation sequence to render it more lethal -- eventually

by the looks of your icon you know more about mutation then anyone else here.

Yesterday, a dead bird was found with H5N1 in Scotland. Well, I guess its only a matter of weeks before it starts here.
