There are some new found cases in North Wales I believe but whatever happened to all that hype about how it was going to be a pandemic and we have no cure so we are all going to die. The same with SARS, That was also incurable wasn't it? Where the hell did that go? Would somebody please stop the media telling us every year some new super disease is going to kill us all! Read this as well before you respond ^-^ http://tenthousanddays.blogspot.com/200 ... d-flu.html She came to these 3 conclusions Do you believe any of them?
well bird flu is old news in our country .. they kills lots of people of course... specially here in asia.. bird flu are very uncool disease like mad cow disease and Sars.. and they are freakin no cure.
I guess it flu away. lol. That was just too easy In response to what the 3 conclusions were 1) Interesting idea, but I'm pretty sure it was a real strain. And I'm pretty sure the companies would actually come up with a cure if they could. 2) Highly doubtful imo. If that was the idea, it didn't work 3) I agree. This is why world peace will never happen. We love drama. It's what makes us tick. Take soap operas for example, when was the last time Eastenders had people just sitting around for months being happy? Face it. Humans are drama junkies.
It wasn't some horrible super-disease to begin with. It was the flu. It was like a slightly more severe case of human flu, which kills people every year as well, but is never hyped as a super-disease. It was a good chance for the media to have a new story and stir up some drama. Nothing more.
^^ Britain was told it was going to kill a lot of people. That when it became contagious to humans it would spread like SARS and there would be a worldwide pandemic. Countries are still stock piling meds to defend against bird flu if it strikes again. And out of current cases only 3 out of 5 live. It's not just flu. From the British Newspaper The Times
maybe theyve started thinking like me: theres no cure. get over it, if i die i die no big, not suicidal or anything i just dont care XD also i wouldnt be surprised if companies made money off it, ever wonder why cancers been around so long? theyre making fortunes off kimo therapy and medication they dont want a cure or they wouldnt get as much money.
i thought they found a small cure for it, but it didnt remove it completely. ah well. Theres still good ol' mad cow
People here in Portugal actually never cared about that. They didn't even tell people ways of prevention to the disease it just kept going on and on, and there were no infected people so far. It's like, the more you try to prevent, the more it happens.
heh, I seriously think that within the next 20 years (probably much sooner) we could have technology capable of curing every major health problem faced by humans. But we won't ever see any of it put to use, because healthy people don't make pharmaceutical companies any money. We will, however, see all sorts of huge leaps in technology used by military to kill whoever they decide should be the next enemy. You have to have your priorities straight.
^^ Unless super viruses keep happening. Aren't diseases becoming immune to our current antibiotics anyway?
It's called meds. We either figured out how to heal people, or prevent it from spreading. OR MAYBE PEOPLE STOPPED CARING. Like how a couple US troops die everyday in the middle east. Noticed how it's not on the news much anymore? It's not because the people stopped dieing
I've been wondering what happened to that, too. SARS and Mad Cow and Bird Flu.. for about a month each was "raging". They were all over the news, people were taking wild precautions, etc. Then after a bit, it all vanishes. Hardly any mention of it on news stations and in conversation. I suppose people get tired of being scared of one thing for too long.
well theres a disease in here that there was no cure for it. like BF, MCD , Sars... it is called mega-ocimia or something.. i forgot the spelling
The real desease people should worry about is aids, they are SO close to finding a cure, in 20 years they have slowed it down by abput 17 years, thats good timin
I think people just started learning to live with AIDS. I mean there are ways to prevent it. Use a rubber, make sure you know your partner, etc. And Bird Flu is scary but I think it's the media's responsibility to let people live their lives instead of worrying all the time so they kinda just dropped it after awhile when something new came up. Haha if they want a cure for anything like Bird Flu or AIDS they should infect the world's 5 richest people with it and we'd probably have a cure in 6 months.
