By the time it reaches us, it will have muated into a lesser strain...
ALso this always seesm to happen with the bird flus and whatnot, a lot start out in little crap dunk villages in china where they have no idea how to treat the regular flu. So there is less regular sanitation and less “checken soup” and warm bedrest etc....
So it kills at the same rate as the flu USED to kill people inthe USA in the 1800’s and early 1900’s.
So they panic and scream about how this is the most lethal strain yet.....
And then when it gets here it is just anoterh bout of the flu and mayeb a few people who get it and already have health issues kick the bucket...
Seen it before, been there... done that.
Unless of course it mutates to one with easy human to human transmission.....
Who says that about every new version.

Exactly!
And flights from Asia to our West Coast take less than 24 hours.
“Taiwan confirmed an H7N9 bird flu infection in a traveler returning to the island from China... The patient, who is in critical condition in an isolation room, didnt come into contact with birds and poultry, Chiu said. “
I don’t care what Pete Townhend or Roger Daltrey have to say no how.
108 people out of 1.36Billion would be, what, about .000008% ?
See? Proof of “anthropogenic global warming” at last, long last!
Here’s a remedy to fend off some nasty respiratory problems:
1 gallon water
Add 20 drops Oil of Oregano
Shake well each time before drinking.
Make up a new batch as needed for at least 6 days.
I don't know.
Unfortunately, while we’ve got to takes such warnings seriously, we’ve also got to be on our guard for such alarms possibly being government-manufactured crises; federal spending will “solve” the problem.
In fact, I saw a similar thread concerning WHO and “new bird flu” in China in FR a week or two ago with nothing being mentioned so far from any other source.
Kind of like every hurricane season is the worst. Probably will do like the Weather Channel and start naming flu seasons.
I don’t know about 20 drops per gallon, but I use 10 to fifteen drops of Oregano Oil in a teacup of cold water and it does a hell of a job on colds, the flu, or what-have-you. It does really work, and quickly too, if you can stand the taste.
Meanwhile, a whooping cough epidemic has begun in Colorado. Welcome to the Third World in the USA.
Great... I’m 53, and I’m going to Taiwan, and Shanghai in two weeks.. :-(
Last summer I passed through the Denver airport for connecting flights. Both times as I got off the plane I remarked that I felt like I was in a third world country.

Wow, that’s good to hear. Maybe 20 drops is too little. I just heard of this last night and didn’t give it any thought. Thanks, PUGACHEV.
I need to investigate.
I think a lot of Asians wear masks. I’d wear one.
