The H5N1 virus has already killed more than 120 people worldwide since 2003. It has also devastated poultry stocks.

 

OH NOES! 120 people in three years! EVERYBODY PANIC!!

Before this humans have only contracted Bird Flu from infected birds. This may be a case where humans were able to pass it to one another.

Well, at least with our tight national security, the chance of someone with bird flu getting into the US is almost nill...

My favourite part of all this is that the media has been calling the bird flu a pandemic. Already. For who-knows-how-long.

 

Clearly someone in the newsroom has left their dictionary at home.

I guess its a pandemic as far as Birds are concernced, I've mostly herd the phrase ecedemic, which is still hyperboyle when it comes to humans.

True. If/When it hits Spanish Flu levels, NOW then its a pandemic.

The media is horribly irresponcible with this bull shit.

 

"IT MIGHT HAVE SPREAD FROM HUMAN TO HUMAN, LET'S WARN THE WORLD!"

 

No...NO. That's fucking bull shit. Get your information together and then show me that it trully is a human-to-human case, then I'll care.

The media in general, especially cable news right now, is downright awful. Why people continue to watch that crap is beyond me. They report and stress stories about perverts and supposed epidemics, but do very little actual news gathering. It's all talking head interviews and wild speculation. Virtually no news packages or real in depth reporting anymore. Pretty sad.

At this point, the TV media is just looking for any excuse to say "Watching this report may save your life!" in their commericals.
