However there is no confirmation that it is H5N1 bird flu - they will know whether it is that strain tomorrow morning
 
let all the scaremongering begin again :angry: looks like my chooks won't be going outside for a while then :(
 
A mutant variety has crossed the channel too

Jesus - the Daily Mail will be screaming that they "told us so" by tomorrow....

It'll be unbearable from now on - I even heard some tripe on the radio a couple of days ago saying that the Government plan to utilise mass graves to deal with the many dead after a potential epidemic. Papers should be made accountable for printing tripe like that and scaremongering.
 
The Beeb tv news reader was orgasmic with the news: it 'may' have the strain, it may not, but never mind, let's whip the country into an American-style high-pitched hysteria: thousands trampled in rush for vaccine! Innocent children will die! Hospitals cannot cope! Doctors warn of associated diseases! Typhoid and cholera sweep the streets as bodies pile up! They really just can't wait, the sewers that they are, to push this out for all its worth. Meantime, back at the HIV clinic...

Ardross, you are making stealthy but serious headway up the rail to overtake Merlin for tabloid sensationalism. Keep this sort of form up, and you can soon give up the Courts for headline-writing for the Mail and the Express.

:lol: :lol: PEE I told you so!! Going to change my name to NOSTRADAMUS he was a great forecaster of things that WOULD happen in the future.......

Pity it won’t work on my choice of horses though..... :rolleyes: :P
 
Im sure that I read that they were begining this week an exercise simulating what would happen and what actions to take in the event of an out break of Bird flu. I may be a bit cynical but this seems to good to be true, all of a sudden a real case turns up in Scotland.

The BBC was shocking this morning they had an expert on Breakfast who was explaining this was nothing to be worried about and the risk to humans virtually non existant, but the faces of the presenters after the report were a picture they were so disappointed.
Also on was a report from Holland were there was an outbreak in 2003 were 3000 birds were infected and slaughtered yet strangely no humans were infected or died. Why do the BBC continually whip up the hysteria about this
 
I watched the BBC report this morning (the one that mentioned that the bird was actually found last Wednesday) and didn't see any hysteria being whipped at all. I may have been half asleep though.

In any case, WE'RE ALL DOOMED.
 
Good - it's time to wipe the slate clean, and let the Martians see if they can run this benighted, blighted planet a bit better!
 
:lol:

Let's start with that ginger thing that kept coming in my house and attacking my old cat .
 
Dont keep reminding me about your ginger cat, James - it still makes me cringe remembering the havoc that my two Burmese (now fortunately long dead) used to wreak on my neighbours when we lived in Buckingham..... no cat food was safe, no cat could stand up to them - they were ferocious little bastards!

The worst incident was when one of their victim's owner's was so furious (quite rightly!!) that she chased them out of her kitchen and then fell, spraining her ankle rather badly. Really, really embarrassing.... :shy:

I gave up with pet cats after that, although I do love having my stable cat, Boop, about.
 
Let's kill everything! Let's replace all those nasty trees that shed leaves with artificial ones that can be replaced and re-posed to taste! Let's kill the sick, the old, the halt, the lame, the blind, and make a perfect world where nothing nasty ever happens!
 
We might as well, Merlin - if you read through these topics, there's talk of killing birds, getting rid of cats, killing badgers... no end to it all!
 
ITV news tonight was nuts, "tell us your worries", "email us your concerns about the killer virus"

What a joke.

One swan dies, news network goes into a frenzy. IF, big IF, IF IF IF it mutates we might die, IF!!!!!!!! Are the football media now doing the prime time news slots?
