Bird Flu

by: Andrew Cavanagh
Copyright 2005 Apostle Cavanagh

Bird flu could be the greatest threat to modern civilization and the earth is poorly prepared for a bird flu pandemic. The rapid spread of the bird flu virus raises the question: what can we do to protect ourselves if a bird flu pandemic strikes?

A potential bird flu pandemic can't be taken lightly.

By taking samples from lungs of exhumed victims researchers at the USA Centers For Illness Control confirmed the 1918 Spanish flu was besides a bird flu. Appalling news because the Spanish flu pandemic was a global catastrophe infecting about one quarter of the United States and one fifth of the world.

From 20 million to 50 million folk died from this 1918 Spanish “bird” flu and most of the victims were aged from 20 to 40 years . This pattern is unusual because flu usually kills the sick, aged and young children.

At the height of the Spanish bird flu funerals were limited to 15 minutes, there was a chronic shortage of coffins and gravediggers and stores were out to hold sales.

It seems that a mutated bird flu like the 1918 Spanish “bird flu” is particularly dangerous because human populations haven't had the chance to develop a resistance to a virus that is usually limited to birds.

Worse still, effects of a bird flu eruption are not simply limited to illness and death. The eruption of Severe acute metabolism syndrome in Hong Kong incontestable in stark terms that commerce can be shut down in an area suffering cases of a deadly infectious disease.

If a wide scale bird flu pandemic were to break out in the western earth we could see cities gripped with fear as Hong Kong was for that short period with Severe acute metabolism syndrome in 2003. Empty shops, empty streets and commerce grinding to a halt.

Dr Archangel Osterholm, medical scientist at the University of American state called a potential bird flu pandemic “The single greatest risk to our earth today.”

David Nabaro from UN health foreseen from 5 to 150 million folk could die global if the bird flu virus mutates to a human to human virus.

Britain's chief medical officer Sir Liam Donaldson aforesaid it wasn't a question of IF a virus pandemic like the bird flu would-be hit human populations but WHEN.

Sir Liam besides pointed out a vaccinum for a human to human bird flu virus can't be make until the virus mutates and a bird flu vaccinum may not be effective even as after one can be produced.

The Asian flu pandemic of 1957 incontestable how difficult it is to immunize against a quickly mutating widespread flu virus. Despite prior warning and despite a vaccinum being developed quite quickly the 1957 Asian flu spread to the United States wherever it killed 70,000 people.

Health authorities have difficulty producing and administering vaccines quickly enough to fight a virus. Besides the quickly mutating nature of flu viruses means galore vaccines provide really limited protection.

Anti-viral drugs are a much recent development in the fight against metabolism viruses like the bird flu and governments in the western earth have begun repositing the anti-viral drug tamiflu as part of a bird flu protection plan. But in a bird flu pandemic tamiflu may not be as effective as authorities would-be hope.

In an unsettling development for health authorities tamilflu resistant strains of the bird flu are appearing. Recently a vietnamese girl was diagnosed with a tamiflu resistant strain of bird flu and in China the bird flu strain H5N1 is showing about 70% resistance to adamatane drugs like tamiflu.

Other anti-viral drugs like Relenza may be much effective if a bird flu pandemic strikes but until the bird flu mutates to a human to human virus we can't be certain which drug – if any - wish provide a pharmaceutical 1st line of bird flu defense.

On the lighter side of bird flu bar sales of dish in 54 Twin Cities stores in the USA spiked 840% after an inconclusive and bantam study by Korean researchers found the bacterium in hard greens mightiness speed the recovery of chickens infected with the bird flu.

People much interested in a little much serious bird flu protection than hard cabbage mightiness heed the one consistent recommendation from health authorities across the earth to reduce your chance of catching the bird flu virus.

Over 90% of metabolism viruses like the bird flu enter your body through contact between the mucose membranes of your eyes and nose and your fingernails. They hitch their way into your body after being picked up on your hands.

In a Earth Health Organization news conference WHO Worldwide Flu Program leader Klaus Stohr aforesaid frequent hand washing was the better way to avoid a microorganism infection including the bird flu.

Every government health authority in the western earth recommends hand washing as a basic precaution to prevent metabolism viruses like the bird flu, SARS, flu and the common cold.

But washing your hands effectively is not quite as simple as it may seem on the surface. Technique is important as is the soap you use.

Antibacterial soaps are NOT suggested for regular hand washing even as for health professionals.
