What happened to bird flu?
Fortunately you can still only catch it from birds, it's not easily passed from person to person so we've been quite lucky so far.Although we've had a close call.........
As reported by multiple sources last month, including the Times of India, vaccines contaminated with deadly live H5N1 avian flu virus were distributed to 18 countries last December by a lab at an Austrian branch of Baxter.It was only by providence that the batch was first tested on ferrets in the Czech Republic, before being shipped out for injection into humans. The ferrets all died and the shocking discovery was made.Czech newspapers immediately questioned whether the events were part of a conspiracy to deliberately provoke a pandemic, following up on accusations already made by health officials in other countries.Initially, Baxter attempted to stonewall questions by invoking “trade secrets” and refused to reveal how the vaccines were contaminated with H5N1. After increased pressure they then claimed that pure H5N1 batches were sent by accident.

Cabin crew tested for swine flu at Harrow hospitalNorthwick Park HospitalAN air steward was brought to Northwick Park Hospital with suspected swine flu – the killer pig respiratory disease that broke out in humans in North America.The British Airways employee was taken to the hospital in Watford Road, Harrow, from Heathrow Airport in west London because it has a specialist infectious diseases unit.A spokesman for the airline confirmed: "One of our cabin crew felt unwell during the flight and as a precaution was taken to hospital for a check-up."Swine influenza is a contagious porcine respiratory disease that can be caught by people and occasionally can pass from human to human, as has happened in this case.Global health experts fear the strain is responsible for the deaths of up to 60 people in Mexico. Normally, swine flu can be treated by two types of antiviral medication.The Health Protection Agency said four human cases of the H1N1 virus infection have been identified in California and Texas in the Unites States and in four districts in Mexico, and to date, no cases of swine flu have been identified in the UK or anywhere in Europe.In a statement, North West London Hospitals NHS Trust said: "We can confirm that a male patient was being treated in Northwick Park Hospital, Harrow, following his return from Mexico."He had flu-like symptoms and is responding well to treatment."The patient was admitted directly to a side room and the hospital is scrupulously following infection control procedures to ensure there is no risk to any other individual in the hospital."On Sunday, the trust confirmed tests carried out on the patient were negative, indicating he did not have swine flu.http://www.harrowobserver.co.uk/west-londo...16451-23484476/

ryan air boss says The outspoken head of the Irish budget airline Ryanair has dismissed apocalyptic warnings of a global swine flu pandemic, saying that the virus was only a risk to Asians and Mexicans “living in slums”.Michael O’Leary, who pioneered the 1p fares which transformed European aviation, told a press conference that he did not think the virus that is thought to have killed around 150 people in Mexico would wipe out his firm's business this summer despite UN warnings of a pandemic.“Are we going to die from swine flu? No. Are we in danger of SARS? No. Foot and mouth disease? No. Will it affect people flying short-haul flights around Europe this summer? Thankfully, no," Mr O'Leary said.He added: “It is a tragedy only for people living ... in slums in Asia or Mexico. But will the honeymoon couple from Edinburgh die? No. A couple of Strepsils will do the job.

bird flu kills half the people it effects swine flu dontCertainly there's cause for sober concern, if not alarm. For of the two qualities vital to a nasty pandemic—to spread readily and to be deadly—this flu, a brand-new strain of swine flu, or H1N1, seems to possess the first: Evidence is strong that it spreads readily among humans. In that sense, it's an inversion of the bird flu. Bird flu terrifies infectious disease experts because it kills about half the humans who get it—but it has so far failed to develop the ability to jump easily from person to person. source:http://www.slate.com/id/2217019/id rather have swine flu over bird flu tbh
