I was woundering what we can do to prepare ???!!!

Is there any drug to stock up on??

 

[MrsWildweasel]

Tamiflu, if you can get your doc to okay a prescription.

+1 on Tamiflu
On a less serious note
"Bird Flu - The panic is spreading out"

 

[MrsWildweasel]

They're trying to scare the masses there too huh? What is the german gov't saying they are going to do?

 

[JuergenG]

The initial hype is gone pretty much.
At least we hear about less cases of birds taken by the flu.
I have no clue as to what the govt is planning on.

 

[MrsWildweasel]

I was just curious. I think it will be a strain on any government if it does make it to a pandemic.

I would like to point out that the human to human strain has not happened yet. Since it doesn't exist there is no vaccine. Tamaflu helps lessen flu symtoms in general but so does elderberry compounds.

I see many folks saying that the goverment isn't doing enough on the TV. But since the strain of flu doesn't exist what do we want the goverment to do. Don't get caught up in the hype. If it comes use good basic sanitation procedures and drink alot of elderberry wine.

Experts also are exploring whether the first woman sickened in the family got the disease from contact with sick chickens at the market where she worked or through chicken feces she used to fertilize her garden.

Think maybe the kids played in the garden?

Come on, people... a total death toll of 124 worldwide? I'd be more worried about the measles outbreak at the John Hancock tower!!

And most of those are in 3rd world crap holes too.

And most of those are in 3rd world crap holes too.

Remember though, people from these 3rd world shit holes, are illegally invading our country, and being hired to work in kitchens and such... There was just a story about this in the news, here in MA.. Not bird flu, but still.
