Pandemic bird flu N5H1


I just watched a documentary on pandmic bird flu. It is predicted to be inevitable. It will be devastating.Millions of people will die (WHO predicts 2-7.4 million). The economy will be crippled. To survive this the genral civilian population will have to bcome self sufficient in their homesteads for 6 months until a vaccine becomes available.20-40 year olds will be the highest risk category. It will start in south east Asia. Nobody knows when it will occur, but likely at any time.The preconditions for this pandemic are simply 2 mutations to the current bird flu virus, making it transmitable from human to human through the air like regular flu. Global infection rates will take just 90 days to peak. A vaccine cannot be developed before there are cases of this human to human mutated version of the virus, and anti viral medications are a relatively young type of medications and their effectiveness is inconclusive even in the current version of bird flu tested in south east Asia. We have the Tamiflu anti viral but it has to be taken at the exact right time to be effective, and obviously without the existence of such a virus yt, effectiveness is unknown.There is no effective prevention or cure prior to global devastation and massive casualties apart from a limited stockpile of these anti viral drugs, which are not yet proven conclusively effective.The cause of death is multiple organ failure due to the human immune system producing too much of a particular chemical to fight the virus, and in turn flooding the blood cells with this chemical until they burst and flood organs. This is why young people are at the highest risk - a more responsive immune system. This virus can currently only penetrate certain cells in the human lungs. This is the most common cause of death. A flooding of the lungs with blood until breathing is impossible.This pandemic will not be lasting, but it will be the most devastating in history. wIt could be worse than the Spanish Flu of 1918 which killed 50 million in 14 months.I thought everybody should be aware.World Health Organisation website:http://www.who.int/csr/disease/influenza/pandemic10things/en/index.html
