Has the threat of a pandemic bird flu outbreak ended???

Question

There was all the scares of months, with people worrying about us all dying... Now, there doesn't appear to be anything in the news...

Answer 1

Shhh! or i'll have to go back to work..

Answer 2

No, the threat will never go away, it's just that the media have lost interest, that's why we don't hear anything about it any more.

Answer 3

The threat is only in the winter months when infected birds migrate over here and the fear is that H5N1 will mix with a human flu virus and mutate into an infectious strain of bird flu that can be passed from human to human - I'm sure it will be in the news again next year.

Answer 6

I have bad news for you. Sooner or later there is going to be a flu epidemic that kills hundreds of millions of people. It might be next year, it might be centuries from now. This is FACT, not speculation. So, no, the flu threat hasn't ended and never will end baring some amazing medical breakthrough. The good news is that there's no point even losing a second's sleep over this, if such happens, you will live or die and there's not a d**n thing you can do to change your fate.

Secondly, the threats we face and what the mainstream media says are completely, utterly, totally, unrelated.  Zero, correlation, nil, nada. The mainstream media is basically entertainment when it comes to global risk assessment, so the presence or absence of bird flu in same means zilch either way.

Answer 7

For the time being.

Until the next time the Government want some media fodder to pre occupy the Nation whilst they continue to foul up.
