Comment hyped or not,Prevention is better than dying later (Score 1) 174
Here is generic info for those who aren't much aware on the topic.
Yes half the people on the face of earth would say bird flu is hyped...
But for once imagine if the virus actually becomes capable of spreading from human to human, what then? infinite deaths in a very short while! It has happened in the past too.
Theoretically speaking such genetic changes in virus' RNA are possible via antigenic drift, which also has happened in past!
As the virus keeps changing genetically we are unable to have pre-made accurate vaccines against it. Immunization is out of question for the same reason. Hence the only surest hope today is to know the disease and prevent its infection.
So whats the problem listening to them - to those who are coining such theories of a pandemic? especially when we have no unfailing measures which we can count on. All they are asking for are SOME precautions, some investment in reasearch, some bird-killings when infected on mass scale....
Hygiene and disinfection using even casual methods like washing and following general cleanliness guidelines at home can reduce the chances of flu infection by 99%. And also the need of training, in better ways of poultry farming, especially to farmers from developing countries!
