I think we should all do what us Brits do best and panic buy at inflated prices...

Yup!

It's the only way to beat it!

Crazy. I know a woman who has stopped buying all poultry products. Like that's gonna help somehow :rolleyes:

I guess the whole Tory leadership contest as a lead news item is just so boring, they have to keep pushing this bird flu business to have something vaguely interesting to talk about.

I wish I could give up eggs cus they seem to be border line for me as not being vegetarian. But they are too nice and too useful. I think I could up eggs in egg form but for cakes and cooking and whatnot, I don't think I could.

i dont think you can contract the bird flu by eating egg :rolleyes:

to lick the rear end of a chicken ,that would be more risky!

There were even people trying to buy the vaccine on Ebay. What is wrong with this country? People are asking me if I'm scared because I have two chickens....uh well not really. I was in Thailand when the first big outbreak of avian flu happened. None of the restaurants could sell chicken dishes because the Brits were scared. We were like "fuck that, I'll have the chicken curry please".

I swear I'm living in the wrong country...far too many retards.

My mom told me about it and got me all paranoid and saying it could spread world wide and be an epidemic or whatever that is, and we're watching some movie in school called "Outbreak" and studying viruses, so I'm all paranoid and shit. I hope it comes though because then I don't have to go to school and sit around playing video games and get on the internet and write and draw stuff. Not that that's a good thing, it's sort of sad how much I don't get out. :o

As far as I know the only people who have contracted and died from avian flu were South East Asian poultry farm workers who contracted the illness directly from the infected birds.

Nobody knows if the virus is even capable of transferring from human to human.

Last I heard it wasn't capable...but it will mutate in time.

I'd like to join you in that endeavor. (y)


I'm not scared of any fucking flu, or mad cow disease or um...ebola. HA! Salmenilla is pretty scary though. :rolleyes:

The first part of your statement is correct. The second is not quite accurate, however. What we do know is that right now, the strain of virus is incapable of transferring from human to human, based on all available evidence. What we don't know is, viruses being clever tricksy things as they is, if it will mutate into a strain that is human-transeferrable (I forget the special word that means that), and if so, when that will happen. And then, by default, what the consequences of that could be.

Just clarifying.

so if you lay off the meat//chickens you'll have less chances of getting it?

Only if you lay off the live chickens. That's why it's only affected poultry farm workers.

Apparently even chickens that were infected can be eaten. Cooking them kills the bacteria.....well I survived eating chicken in Thailand when the first outbreak hit. I felt sorry for the restaurants, they had bought stock of all their meat and they couldn't give chicken away.

On the news they said someone somewhere (in europe I beleive) died from eating an infected chicken.

Another reason why I won't go back to meat!
