Your Thoughts on Bird Flu

Personally I think it is all hype and very little danger. However, I do believe that a great flu like epidemic will hit the world and kill 10-20% of the population in the next 35 years.

Back in '18 folks were still more spread out and rural.
I wouldn't be surprised to see it exceed the '18 numbers by many fold.
What we really don't need is to have it mutate into an airborne
virus - because it requires each victim to use a ventilator the
deaths would be astronomical!
Then, as they say over in Merry Old Mondland, it's be `cheeriebye' for
most of us!
(... and the world would probably be a (proportionatly) better place!)[:D]
Sounds like it mutates well - not good.[:0]

Was that the old crow Hillary Clinton?
I guess if people start having sex with birds that have the birdflu, then just as with AIDS, it might become a human virus.

Ditto on the Hype. It has a high mortality rate but the bugger is very hard to catch. All of the victims have worked or been around the poultry business in some shape or form. How many people have died from it. under 100. Out of a population of billions. More people have choked to death on chewing gum this year.
A cat in Germany was just diagnosed with bird flu. Jumping between species makes it much more dangerous.
What would they call it then? Catbird flu?
...I don't keep or sleep with chickens in my house...[;)]
I've slept with a chickenhead once...
Please try your post at another time.
Thank you,

Live til you die...
Die livin..don't live dyin.
Like it was posted...always something.
Usually BS media crap.
Personally, I think its scary as hell. Just have to wait and see I guess.
Well, yeah, the more I think about it I am becoming somewhat worried. I had forgotten that West Nile virus, which used to be a middle Eastern sickness (sometimes kills or at least permanent injury), migrated here to the USA and has spread across most of the country. And it is spread to humans via birds carrying the virus in their blood, misquitos biting the birds and then they carry the virus and when they bite humans the human gets the virus.
And unlike West Nile virus, which over time has become (or maybe was at the start) a somewhat mild but sometimes fatal virus, the bird flu virus kills most of the people who get infected by it.
OK, I had never read that before, but seeing it in print (my print) I am getting more worried. Anybody?
