    Default Bird Flu

    Lots of news and noise about Bird flu as of late. I watched a series on The History Channel about a possible worse case scenario that leaves the world resembling "George Romero's Dawn of the Dead".

    Interested in seeing what the always vocal HA community has to say about this. Personally for the forseeable future, I'll be avoiding all chicken eating ladyboys.

    HURDLE #1: If guys would learn to stop over complementing, and not compliment every tranny (or girl) they see and talk to (so a girl would feel it was sincere and that she's special), maybe they'd get somewhere but a dead end! lol

    my vote-not concerned...just buy free-range chicken from your local organic farmers that supply them...tastes better, and they have a much happier life....until we eat them, that is...

    What I do find interesting, is that the infamous war criminal and neo-con Donald Rumsfeld, has long-term involvement with Chiron, one of the companies approved for production of the vaccine....there's a shocker, huh...

    Get a life, boring boy. Get a pick-up truck, like me. Maybe then you could pick up your Tgurl cousins and get laid for a change. Have you ever been laid?

    Bird flu isn't spread from eating birds. The virus infects birds first, and is non virulent to humans in it's initial phase. After infecting tens of thousands, if not millions of birds, the virus can mutate, as a function of it's reproductive cycle, becoming a strain that can infect humans. This occurs along migration routes and first appears in countries where humans live and work closely with foul exposed to the virus. Typically, Asia is the initial source for the human starin because many people live in close proximity to domesticated foul. The virus enters humans as an airborn pathogen, kicked up in dust from avian excretions. This is typical of every year's flu cycle. The problem this year is that a previously unknown strain has been found for which we have no antibodies and no flu shot to help produce antibodies. Should this strain mutate and infect humans, then a pandemic could result.
