at maximum, any said virus, or even viruses, couldn't wipe more than 10% of our population from the planet. Otherwise we would probably have been wiped by a strain of bacteria years ago.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) - International health experts have been dispatched to Pakistan to help investigate the cause of South Asia's first outbreak of bird flu in people and determine if the virus could have been transmitted through human contact, officials said Sunday.

I do not like the look of this. The only 'positive' if this is the dreaded pandemic is that peak oil will never happen..
AU citizens told to Stockpile food for flu crisis
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'E')VERY Australian household should stockpile at least 10 weeks' worth of food rations to prepare for a deadly flu pandemic, a panel of leading nutritionists has warned.

World health experts now agree a pandemic is inevitable and will spread rapidly, wiping out up to 7.4 million people globally and triggering rapid food shortages.

Australia is expected to be among the first countries hit because of its proximity to Asia and high levels of international traffic.

But Woolworths and Coles, the nation's two major supermarket chains, will run out of stock within two to four weeks without a supply chain – or even faster if shoppers panic.

This has prompted a team of leading nutritionists and dietitians from the University of Sydney to compile "food lifeboat" guidelines to cover people's nutritional needs for at least 10 weeks.

Their advice – published in the Medical Journal of Australia – would allow citizens to stay inside their homes and avoid contact with infected people until a vaccine becomes available.

The lifeboat includes affordable long-life staples such as rice, biscuits, milk powder, Vegemite, canned tuna, chocolate, lentils, Milo and Weet-Bix.

Jennie Brand-Miller, professor of human nutrition at the University of Sydney and co-leader of the study, believes it is common sense to stockpile food before a pandemic strikes. "It's really not a question of if: it's a question of when," she said.

i didn't know if you guys would be interested in this!

The sequence of events:
1. world-wide flu pandemic in 1918, a virulent form of the virus to which the young & healthy are strangely vulnerable.

2. USAMRIID, US government germ warfare experts, travel to Norway in approx. 1997 to dig up the graves of people who died in the 1918 epidemic. New Yorker magazine reports on this in 1997, and states that the purpose of the USAMRIID expedition is to obtain live samples of the virus, stored beneath the permafrost for approx. 79 years.

3. FF to 2007. Sonoma county paper reports clustering of flu deaths at military bases. a form of the flu virus to which the young & healthy are strangely vulnerable.
Flu 2007 and Flu 2007b

What could cause clusters of flu deaths at military bases? Vaccines. Lots of vaccines. US troops get lots of vaccine shots.

Who makes vaccines? Does USAMRIID have anything to do with the vaccines received by US troops ?

certainly, some departments of the American government like to blame our problems on designated bogeymen, like "them damn terrorists", and "that darn bird-flu".

when the stock market crashes, will the US government try to pin it on some bogeyman (or not to be sexist, bogey people ?)

that's one of the things that is alarming about a flu pandemic. the Working Assets Market Group/ Plunge Protection team, that occasionally steps in to buy stocks & "calm the markets", may choose at some point to withhold their support.
