Did you know that officials plan to close schools for up to three months during an avian flu pandemic?
The plan is to close schools and make kids and teens stay at home no gathering at friend's homes or at the mall. How would your family cope? Do you have books and games at home for your kids? The virus is killing 60 % of the people who are infected, and kids spread flu more than adults. It is being spread from person to person occasionally. The fear is that the virus is mutating and it is acquiring the changes needed to pass easily from person to person. When that happens there will be a pandemic.There will be no vaccine for 6 to 9 months after a pandemic begins. It takes that long to make a vaccine.
Can the proliferation of the Canada Geese be a concern over Avian Flu pandemic?
You've seen them. They can produce up to twenty young per year. They take over Industrial Parks, lake areas, etc....and they make a big mess. Could they become carriers of the much deaded dealy flu virus that many now fear? Or, no cause for concern.Thank you for your carefully thought out answers.
Do you think that there is unnecessary worldwide panic about the possibility of Avian Flu pandemics?
" The H5N1 avian influenza has spread to more than 40 countries in Asia, Europe and Africa, killing over 100 people, and raising concerns tens of millions of people could sicken and die if it mutates to pass easily from person to person." This is an excerpt from a recent news report. Are we overreacting? Is there a real threat? How does this compare, say to the threat of cancer or heart attacks or car accidents...the list goes on. Is Avian Flu just another health " flavour" of the week or is it a genuine threat? How do we decide what is truly a serious concern to our well being and what steps, if any should we protect ourselves?Mad Scientist Excuse me, please read my question carefully. I didn't say anyone was overreacting, I am asking IF there is overreaction to this health concern.
