Pandemic Bird Flu Movie

    I don't have cable, can you recount the film for us if you have time?

    I'm wondering if that is the Bird Flu Movie that came out some time ago? I did see one while ago.

The Science Channel     Pandemic: Bird Flu

These were the listing times for my area (central time zone)
Sun Oct 7  8:00 PM - 10:00 PM    and 11:00 PM - 1:00 AM

Mon Oct 8  3:00 AM -5:00 AM   and  9:00 AM - 11:00 AM

The Science Channel had a lot of preview ads with short segments that looked alot like the footage that was in the Google Video  Pandemic (a possible look at the future) which was 1 hour 28 minutes.

Here is the link for that Google video. I thought that it was a convincing  "eye opener" for skeptical people.


I can let you know, after I see The Science Channel version,  how much common video was in both presentations.

I never personally saw Fatal Contact, but this is not the same movie.   From what I was told, it should be a new one.  

I just looked at the schedule and the last showing is Monday morning 10:00am.  If you really want to watch it, you can call your cable company first thing Monday morning and order the Science Channel.  It probably costs around $2.00 per month.

You have to remember some of us live in the middle of nowhere, LOL. When we first moved here we were in shock how few channels we could get with cable, but now, after 8 years we are used to it. We don't watch enough tv to justify getting satelite.

It is on 3 or 4 times here in Denver      We are recording it, @ 2am in the morning.

    Mom1 You are right . It is the bbs movie uk showed.
Now they are showing it here in us on tv. But can be seen online also.

Ironically enough, the movie has the final mutation as being when the virus can infect the upper resp. tract.   

    my whole family out of town is watching it now.
I saw this movie the other day. It did leave a big imprint on me.

    Well I got preps on hand. But now thinking I need more. And the timing of this movie makes one wonder whats next.
    As hard as we work at trying to tell people about the bird flu pandemic I am beginning to wonder even after they have watched this movie. That some of my family need a boot in the can. Literally to knock some sense in them.
Cause this movie was well informed and they are just not on the same page as we are.
So on that note I have decided to just worry about myself and those preppers here who are truly understanding the real picture.
Cause some of my family are making me feel like im a bother, or a nusense. And I don't have time to waste if they don't care.

Do some of you have the same feelings as I or am I becoming heartless?
    

    Thanks for making me feel better.
When will the masses learn its for real is beyond me.
I am just going to keep prepping. Can't hurt.

    I think the brine from salt water would corrode or otherwise damage a coffee maker if you tried to purify water that way (from ocean water). Anybody know whether it will for sure?

HERE It Is again
Below is the link to  "Pandemic A Possible Look of the Future"  1 hr 28 min
Last nights presentation of "Pandemic: Bird Flu" (that was on The Science Channel) was about 2 hours

They are both the same except that The Science Channel version has about a half hour of commercials and station breaks.

   saw the movie last night and i thought it was interesting. for one thing it was made in 2007 so it was new.
it portrayed how a pandemic flu would likely happen. one of the storylines was your typical usa businessman in asia, flys home, infecting many others on board,etc,,
there were other actors and other side stories too and they even showed a prepper and his wife in fla i believe,,and their preps. i was half expecting for our board to get a plug in but no such luck.

what i found fascinating and something i had never heard of was the idea that a disease never before or after seen,, was a direct result of the 1918 pandemic flu.

it presented similar to the disease robert di niro's character had in the movie "awakenings" with robin williams about the man who was in a vegetative state for 25 years then given a drug and came out of it,,tragically though,only temporarily.
they said that this "sleeping disease" showed up about 5 years after the 1918 flu and the only place on earth it didn't appear was the only place on earth where the 1918 flu didn't reach,,i think it was bornea. and that was due to a successful effort to shut down bornea's borders.

anyway,,,they called it a sleeping disease but it also was characterized by what looked like painfully contorted muscle spasms in the patients, the patient was in a coma state,,yet you could raise his arm,,and he would hold it raised even when the drs. let go.
drs and scientists assert that the avian flu went from the lungs to the brain and wreaked havoc there as well,,,years AFTER patients had recovered from the flu.
really scary to me!



    
    

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
