Emergency Warning Issued for U.S Citizens to Stockpile Supplies for Bird Flu Pandemic

 

Experts feel that this new super-influenza strain could transform the world into a situation resembling the New Orleans catastrophe.

 

(PRWEB) March 27, 2006 -- Leading researchers have indicated that the bird flu virus is now just one mutation away from changing into a form that can be easily transmitted among humans. Once the virus mutates into an airborne form, there may be very little warning that a pandemic has begun. An airborne strain of the H5N1 virus would have the ability to spread across the globe in mere days.

 

Experts feel that this new super-influenza strain could transform the world into a situation resembling the New Orleans catastrophe. All deliveries to stores, restaurants and gas stations would immediately cease because people would either be too sick or too scared to attend their jobs. This could cause enormous shortages in a matter of days. As seen during The Spanish Flu of 1918, people may face potential starvation in their homes.

Thanks for the info! It does seem like we were just reading/hearing that the flu strain was too deep in the lungs to ever mutate to a human to human strain - geez! No wonder most of us don't know whether we're coming or going!

I thought it was short for "duplicate", like in duplicate
newstory. (Same article was posted earlier.) ...but, what do I know? Anyhow, interesting replies to both.
