So quiet....no news. Does anyone else suspect a "news
blackout?" Maybe until they know for sure if it is or is not
passing human-to-human.

Istanbul has a population of roughly 13,000,000 and a large slum population. Slum as in third world slum, not slum as in Cabrini Green, both dangerous to your health but for very different reasons.

For anyone who is interested; On the forum under H5N1 title, there is a guy from Istanbul who has been posting keeping everyone as current as possible. He goes by the name of Oric. I've been popping back and forth to see his entries. He has been calling the hospital down there to get as much info as possible on the status of the patients etc. Meewee |

The WHO is doing their damndest to keep a lid on this. They don't want a global panic.

India was so blatant in their coverup attempt. They just called it
"Mystery Illness" and let it go at that. If you want to see what
it does to animals, look up the Ukraine story and photo from months
ago. It was the only photo that was leaked to the world of what it does
to animals.

My prediction, the disease has mutated and it has made the jump for human to human transmission. The reason I think this is because of the huge clusters being reported. There is even a family cluster of 10. Unless of course all 10 family members were "playing" with the same chicken head. Maybe the whole family participated in the "Catch the Dead Chicken Head" game? I doubt all of the 10 family members played with dead chicken heads at the exact same time I also doubt that all 10 ate infected chicken at the exact same time. Plus, we have multiple large family clusters? The only way clusters like this would technically be possible, IMO, is that if the disease went h2h. My best guess at the moment is that we could be in real serious trouble. If it did make the jump, it will be in the U.S in just a few days.... Until we hear any news (update on new cases), assume the worst and everybody should do their final preps right now and have it completed no later than Monday. Put your final plans into action now, IMO. This may sound drastic, but until we get an update, I would also keep your kids out of school for the next few days just to see how this whole thing plays out .... Remember, we will not get ANY second chances with this thing so be sure to be at your best at all times and don't make ANY mistakes. One mistake .... or one wrong move on your part could be costly to a family member. It's almost like playing chess..... We have to try to be one step ahead of it at all times. I was a 2 time state champion chess player by the way. Edited by Albert |

Maybe the WHO should supply various games to the families in Turkey so they stop playing with dead chicken heads so much. They should have brought some footballs or something over there LOL. That probably still wouldn't work though because they can't eat the football once they're done playing with it. Plus, I'm sure dead chicken heads are a lot more fun! I wonder if they play hacky-chicken head over there? Edited by Albert |

You're right Albert, one was refereeing, two were cheerleaders. one running "sick chicken concessions. That's why the WHO is headed there to see if it qualifies as an olympic sport. "Catch the Dead Chicken Head" Edited by Corn |

Sickening.
Since I am from Europe, whats the deal? NOTHING. Its not important until WHO confirms a cluster, a real cluster not your imagined something. And then: it better happens in a well somewhat civilized country under surveillance? Unlikely but that would still be the better option. Vietnam had thousands of outbreaks many dead victims and you are pushin panic buttons? Are you joking or feeling sick? I stop that thing and keep it in Europe so that you sleep well for the next weeks, promised. |

The WHO needs a few days, even if they hurry. Think ybout how one would identify a cluster.
You cannot? Well thats the reason why you do not understand. It could well take a few days for them to find the first priliminary results. And it could take easily two weeks before they can confirm and be really sure. and before they go public with alarming news they will make very sure that it is as close as possible. You are just phantasizing about what the WHO wants or does not want. Sick with paranoia the whole story. |
