454788 2006-05-14 04:03:00 Those third-world countries have been doing well (www.nytimes.com) in culling infected poultry and other counter-measures against the spread of bird 'flu. If everyone else does as well, it may never become the epidemic that many have feared. An effective vaccine is still unavailable, and the anti-viral drug makers are still holding out. vinref (6194)
454789 2006-05-14 04:13:00 But the US still hasn't culled its most dangerously infectious turkeys, the ones in the White House. :( Graham L (2)

Hopefully, these countries mentioned follow the serious efforts undertaken in Thailand and Vietnam.

454794 2006-05-14 06:49:00 Nope, the normal process is one of incompetence (probably deliberate in some cases) followed by disingenuous cover up, and I include the UK in that assessment. A lot of money and export products are at stake here same as with BSE. zqwerty (97)
454795 2006-05-14 07:03:00 What bird flu'? Just put the following words into Google and find out some facts : tamiflu roche rumsfeld bird flu

Speaking of turkeys, what exactly does a master of misinformation have to do with Tamiflu? Ansd why the sudden alarm over a non-pandemic?

454796 2006-05-14 07:17:00 The Americans are taking the possibility seriously:

www.pandemicflu.gov

A worst case scenario from a doctor, may be on this site, visualizes something like the chaos ala Los Angeles post Katrina but with most Emergency Services disabled by their own problems for up to 6 weeks in the first wave of flu if it is anything like the last Pandemic.
