HI Chris,
I have a contingency plan - it's called the middle finger...
if avian bird flu is for real it will be in the anti virus injections spreading the virus very quickly.
it will be too late for anyone to do anything... just like the 1918 flu epidemic they compare this to!
wanna join my clubhouse?
"If left unchallenged, this virus could become the first pandemic of the 21st century. We must not allow that to happen. Today I am announcing a new International Partnership on Avian and Pandemic Influenza. It is essential we work together, and as we do so, we will fulfill a moral duty to protect our citizens, and heal the sick, and comfort the afflicted." President George W. Bush
This hoax is then used to justify the immediate purchase of 80 million doses of Tamiflu, a worthless drug that in no way shape or form treats the avian flu, but only decreases the amount of days one is sick and can actually contribute to the virus having more lethal mutations. So the U.S. placed an order for 20 million doses of this worthless drug at a price of $100 per dose. That comes to a staggering $2 billion. - which makes Donald Rumsfield a very very rich man. not that he wasnt already...
God, all the mailouts rave about stockpiling mountains of water, panadol and instant noodles; why isn't the health department making the most of scare tactics to get people to feed themselves and their kids better and get more exercise??? Surely the more healthy you are if/when you get bird flu the less bad it'll be and the quicker you'll recover...?
...FWIW I'm kinda with trillion, as long as he doesn't mention tamiflu and suicide in the same sentence. I don't need fucken epidemic alarms, & if I get sick I'll slog it out. Maybe reduce my daily press-ups to twenty.
thing is, wellingtonians, at least, should have all this stuff ready already as part of their earthquake contingency plan. all we needed to do to get up to speed was to add some tissues to our emergency pack.
60 Litres water
Food for 3 months (mostly tined - don't really want to live from tins for 3 months!)
First Aid kit (think of a small back pack stuffed full of whatever medical supplies we've hoarded over the last 10 years)
Batteries (a fuckload of them)
Torches (both battery and kinetic)
Water purification kit (for if we run out and need to go the rain water route)
Lots of rope (it's so useful)
Enough mechanical gidjits to build plenty of useful stuff
This is all stuff I've just slowly stockpiled over the last 5 - 10 years... I mean I do live in Wellington after all (it's not IF it's WHEN the city gets a big quake).
items you should have to prepare for a flu pandemic or disaster:
-a suppy of food and drink to last for at least a week
-paracetamol or ibuprofen
-masks
-tissues
-plastic bags
-toilet paper and rubbish bags to put waste (remember toilets might not be working)
-activities to keep you occupied incase you are stuck on your own for more than a week
-telephone numbers of people who live nearby and doctors detaila
bird flu is all hype. its hit germany and not alot has happened yet. i do notice though that when theres a shortage of exciting events in the news, they go back to scaring people with bird flu stories. lame.
i was thinking of buying one of those masks and wearing it around town - see if i can start a trend.
Well I don't know about over there but here they go crazy on the news for it. I just can't take it seriously - I mean since when has a dead duck ever been a topic for the top item on the national news? Anyway - at least its an alternative way to go. Will make a change from worrying about iran/US nuclear war/huge asteriod/mega tsunami/evil nanobot takeover eh? What a joke.
No-Germs, a simple hand spray, has been on sale over the counter for two years. But when the H5N1 avian flu outbreak gathered pace among birds, No-Germs owners decided to test it against the virus.
The results, revealed yesterday, were remarkable - the handwash was more tha 99.8 per cent efficient in killing H5N1. The discovery has been heralded as a "major breakthrough" - particularly if the virus ever mutates into a human form.
