As usual for prisonplanet, they leave out the less alarming material: “In general, we think the risk of avian influenza in Hong Kong is not that significantly higher than before,” Dr. York Chow, Hong Kong’s secretary for health and food, said in a statement released by the government. “But since there is one case, we have to be very careful as it might actually point out its source of infection, which might give rise to another case.” Speaking to reporters on Thursday following a meeting of government agencies, Dr. Chow said no “abnormalities” had been detected at mainland poultry farms supplying Hong Kong, but local health authorities would now inspect one out of four chickens coming into the region. Inspection teams also will visit 30 poultry farms across Hong Kong as part of the heightened response, he said. Hong Kong’s government late Wednesday raised its bird flu alert to “serious” following the announcement of a 59-year-old woman diagnosed with avian influenza H5N1. The alert raises the surveillance and infection controls in the region’s public hospitals and clinics and warns the public of a chance of contracting the disease. Don't worry, hunk. Your super strong immune system will fight off all comers!

thorn, it's not just them. The Ukraine govt had a similar incident a couple years ago with thousands actually dead. Short memories buried it quickly, but the dead are still dead, and one other thing. Geneticists got their hands on the virus and issued a public statement that there is no way in hell this could've been produced by nature. That means it was manmade, however I will not relay the subsequent speculation about it's origin. It's all been swept under the rug but you can probably find something on it. Hunky, you should subscibe to AFP. It is not as off the wall and is more informative and acts like a news source, alot of times able to quote sources, and if not they say so. They do report their conclusions, but other than that they do pretty well. I don't like some of their ads though. This is 2010 folks. This is everything your Parents ever warned you about. T

It is a scam to sell flu shots.

T Termy, 299 or so died, not thousands. 1.25 million were reported to be infected; note that millions around the world were infected with relatively few symptoms. When I see that people tried to connect it to some aerial spraying, I'm going to be skeptical. It was sequenced as H1N1 with 1 or 2 very small mutations. Not some engineered wonder bug.

Hehe. Ever hear of Fort Detrict MD?

No, but I've heard of Fort Detrick. Are you going to start in again about how they created the 1918 flu pandemic, some 25 years before there was even a biomedical research facility there? Stop being insane, hunky. ~stef

"299 or so died, not thousands. 1.25 million were reported to be infected; note that millions around the world were infected with relatively few symptoms. " OK, it was some time back so my dead number was off. "When I see that people tried to connect it to some aerial spraying, I'm going to be skeptical. It was sequenced as H1N1 with 1 or 2 very small mutations. Not some engineered wonder bug. " You know damnwell that things are always schmoozed over a bit. I am also a skeptic, but I apply it equally. In that situation you had spraying, and then in a very short time over a million people infected. And then it stopped after about a million or so people, why ? The skeptic in me also tends to ask, just what kind of cropdusting goes on people ? Did the pilot have the wrong map or something ? And what I read then indicated that those small mutations were extremely unlikely to occur naturally. More later if you want, I am not sayig that it was a play by a big pharma private CIA or Mossad. But keeping the questions coming make the schmoozover a bit more difficult. T
