Did you know that there is going to be a new show about the Bird Flu? It's making it out to be a complete terror. It's only going to make things worse.

not the fictions, my messages on my other post was deleted by someone who has an access to this site and I cant say much about the one who makes the movies but until then I believe on the fact what media are saying from all over the world not in some movie series...

I you only want factual information re the above, you can get them through
Pro-med. Here is the website:
http://www.promedmail.org

and
Here is info on the organization:


ProMED-mail - the Program for Monitoring Emerging Diseases - is an Internet-based reporting system dedicated to rapid global dissemination of information on outbreaks of infectious diseases and acute exposures to toxins that affect human health, including those in animals and in plants grown for food or animal feed. Electronic communications enable ProMED-mail to provide up-to-date and reliable news about threats to human, animal, and food plant health around the world, seven days a week.

By providing early warning of outbreaks of emerging and re-emerging diseases, public health precautions at all levels can be taken in a timely manner to prevent epidemic transmission and to save lives.

ProMED-mail is open to all sources and free of political constraints. Sources of information include media reports, official reports, online summaries, local observers, and others. Reports are often contributed by ProMED-mail subscribers. A team of expert human, plant, and animal disease moderators screen, review, and investigate reports before posting to the network. Reports are distributed by email to direct subscribers and posted immediately on the ProMED-mail web site. ProMED-mail currently reaches over 30,000 subscribers in at least 150 countries.

A central purpose of ProMED-mail is to promote communication amongst the international infectious disease community, including scientists, physicians, epidemiologists, public health professionals, and others interested in infectious diseases on a global scale. ProMED-mail encourages subscribers to participate in discussions on infectious disease concerns, to respond to requests for information, and to collaborate together in outbreak investigations and prevention efforts. ProMED-mail also welcomes the participation of interested persons outside of the health and biomedical professions.

ProMED-mail was established in 1994 with the support of the Federation of American Scientists and SatelLife. Since October 1999, ProMED-mail has operated as an official program of the International Society for Infectious Diseases, a nonprofit professional organization with 20,000 members worldwide.

ProMED-mail is also available in Portuguese, ProMED-PORT, and in Spanish, ProMED-ESP. Both of these lists cover disease news and topics relevant to Portuguese- and Spanish-speaking countries, respectively.

ProMED-mail and ISID are grateful to the Gates Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Oracle Corporation, the Nuclear Threat Initiative, and an anonymous donor for financial support.

Web services for ProMED-mail are provided as a public service by the Oracle Corporation. E-mail services are provided by the Harvard School of Public Health.

Ok we are all here in pigeon talk, its all about pigeons, which is im so concern about my PIGEON catching the virus but as long this virus is being observe to spread all over EARTH I dont need to worry or believe on movies, yes those virus kills human but the fact is " they got too close with out any protection " so with out knowing the virus is only a step away & they caught it, my main concern is if you are walking or anything you do and got close to a bird will you get it, I think the answer is NO, so yes the virus is there but the fact is you can not get it that easy I will repeat again its not easy to get it you have to buy it for $100 to have a virus, Im not worry about it, the virus is spreading people are aware so as the Gov't so let them deal with it and let them give the the good news, I dont think they will tell us " hey the virus is 2 blox away be aware now....

Thanks for the Pro-MED link, Maureen! Folks, if you are really, really, seriously interested in following the bird flu, then the link Maureen provided in one of the best. Another good site is the CDC here in the US.

Saw that link you posted before, pigeonrehab. Seems to be a bit of 'Yellow Journalism' designed to sell papers w/the heading. The body of the text tends to negate the fear tactics of the title.

If what I've read is accurate, the island of Gibraltar has already killed all 1000 of its pigeons. The city of Hanoi has killed all birds there including pigeons. No matter how you feel about headlines that are written to sell papers, if the avian flu hits and based on what is going on around the world, the first birds to be culled will be pigeons. They are the easiest targets because it's harder to kill all sparrows and starlings.
The pigeon is always the first bird to take the rap so why should this potential situation be any different? New York City has been looking for a way to get rid of all pigeons so this affords them a perfect opportunity to do so at the expense of an ignorant public that hates them to begin with.

State pathologist Ward Stone said he personally likes pigeons, but, "If you find something that is a significant threat to human health and mortality is involved, then you're going to take some control action."

Until then nothing to worry about here...I always go for more people who thinks its not possible but for now I sit down and fly my birds...I think positive the negative comes and makes me worry so forget the negatives...

Far, worldwide, far more people have died in the last week, from slipping on a bar of 'Soap' in the shower...than all the purported cases of 'bird flu' so-far, combined.

It is hype...it is bogus...it is a big sell...

I do think that we got more car accidents and school crimes than bird-flu cases...
