What is the medicine for though , if it's the existing bird flu and you don't work with chickens or whatever then it's a waste of time.
If it's meant to be for the possible mutated strain, well it doens't exist yet so it's probably snake oil

i think perhaps you could have made your point a smidgen more diplomatically malkontent :P but yes, it's really kinda difficult (impossible) to vaccinate against a disease which doesn't yet exist ::)


incidentally, if i have to travel in fife for any reason, do the genitals still have to be attached to the vole? ???

well, how could it possibly exist? :S IF it mutates suitably to be tranfered from human to human, THEN it might be worrying that there's no vaccine, but i imagine IF it does, some wee boffin somewhere will get his noggin workin' on one. until then i'd be lying if i said the absence of a vaccine worried me overly xD

Diplomatically only works when the recipient might understand it.

Ok people...some facts. I live in Romania, so I'm close to the whole thing.

Fact one: the virus dies at an approximate temperature of 70 degrees Celsius. But as we know, water boils at 100 degrees. So tell me, unless you eat the chicken raw, how could you boil it at LESS than 100 degrees?!

Fact two: it is said that the disease can be caught through direct contact. And in Romania they're "discovered" a point of spreading at a chicken farm named Codlea. But I was wondering...why NONE of the workers there got the disease? and it's not like they didn't have contact with the birds...

So....

well, it seems to be the case that the virus has a great deal of difficulty transfering itself to humans, i'm not well verrsed on the specifics, but there are virus's that die in direct sunlight, that die from any number of things, so it could be the case that all the workers not having it was down to these factors, it could be the fact that the virus is, to the best of my knowledge, at present only really hugely dangerous to the old, young, or those with an otherwise compromised immune system. there are factors which could lead to that, although i don't certainly, claim the expertise or knowledge to be able to be in any way sure of them. ^^

so there's every chance i'm wrong xD


OR it could be a conspiracy! :o
