The WHO (world health organisation) has now categorised the crisis to a level 4,which is 2 short of a full blown pandemic.

Several cases confirmed in china,confirmation also in spain,sweden,israel,scotland,and one unconfirmed case in the uk.
This thing is getting bigger,and it will be only a matter of time before its a global crisis.

After the initial worldwide hysteria, Bird Flu and SARS soon disappeared.
So will this.

that is exactly what he is saying about the changing nature of the virus...he feels that it would be ineffective as well...my fear is that some of these vaccines can kill...read where over 500 ppl died from vaccine during G. Ford's administration when they had some weird outbreak {google}...

yep, britisha, i remember the 75-76 swine flu &quot;epidemic&quot;. along with hundreds others, i stood in line for hours to get the vaccine.

my brother ended up in the hospital paralyzed with guillen baire (sp?). fortunately, he made a full recovery.

so, i will also not take a chance on any vaccine. </div></div>

thank God he made a full recovery...vaccines can do more harm than good...trusting and hoping that it doesn't reach that stage where we might have to make that decision.

The difference is that inepidemin the disease is spread from animal species to human, but cannot be transmitted between humanbeings.
Pandemic is where the disease is capable of being transmitted from animals to human, human to human and human to animals.. It is very difficult to eliminate it in that stage.

...if I understand you correctly, and if this is so, then people with a brain should quarantine themselves...<span style="font-weight: bold">unless of course, all this is a hype</span>...for I cannot believe that they waited so long to call stage 5 and now seem to be [censored]-footing with the lives of millions of people by talking rubbish about not closing any border...jack mandorah.
