Guest guest Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 URL: H5N1, A Special Report A friend who works in the Public Health field brought this article to my attention. It was originally published in a medical periodical and can be easily tracked and verified for it's authenticity. If you're really serious about extensive research in "bird flu", this is a must read.If the pandemic they're preparing for is the "bird flu" you need to know that the most likely to die will not be the elderly or infirmed, but the young and healthy similar to the Spanish Flu in the early 1900's. University of Washington scientists have determined this new "bird flu" has many of the same characteristics as the Spanish Flu. It attacks healthy lung tissue and the victims literally drown in their own blood and body fluids. And many will die because there are more young and healthy ones who will fall sick and die from "bird flu", than sick and elderly who will contract the disease. You will see in this article, the United States doesn't have enough medical equipment to care for the sick and dying if the pandemic were to strike right now. Another reason why so many will die if the "bird flu" comes this way. The incubation period is another factor. Victims will infect others before they are aware they're sick or carriers so entire communities will have to be quarantined, possibly for weeks at a time. Businesses, grocery stores, pharmacies, public infrastructures, doctors' offices, hospitals will all shut down, possibly for weeks at a time, due to lack of healthy employees.This is a long article but full of important information you should know about what/how to prepare for the "bird flu". This is why for the past year Public Health officials have been slowly posting notices on billboards, in your mail, in newspapers, and on the sides of buses. Some blood banks have even been distributing pamphlets and questionnaires to those who donate blood regularly to determine how many would be willing to donate blood in the middle of a pandemic. They ARE getting ready for something, but the general public isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 "They" can do this because "They" have access to a large amount of financial support and the resources to get what "They" want. "They" can do this because "They" know it is going to happen because "They" are going to make it happen. The general public can not do what "They" can do.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 I came across a VERY informative read some months ago titled something like " A Bird Flu of Our Own Hatching " . It can be completely read online or to buy it. The url for the table of contents is at: http://www.birdflubook.com/toc.php The author is: " Michael Greger, M.D. Michael Greger, M.D., is Director of Public Health and Animal Agriculture at The Humane Society of the United States. " His credentials/bio is at: http://birdflubook.com/g.php?id=4 The real scoop on the so-called Spanish Flu, (they didn't want to acknowledge U.S. or other implications for fear of even worse panic & other reasons), (i.e., Epidemic of 1918) is at: www.birdflubook.com/a.php?id=9 The info on H5N1 is also included in book & can be linked from the toc. It is a real read! Joyce , " NEWS FROM THE TIPI " <cherokee419 wrote: > > URL: H5N1, A Special Report > > > > > A friend who works in the Public Health field brought this article to my attention.
