You would feel need to buy more shoes even though you have plenty already. You forget how to parallel park and you start talking rubbish.

skratch Posted May 25, 2006 #4 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Fever, cough, sore throat, aching muscles, conjuctivitis, breathing problems and possible pneumonia... Your average flu, really. I highly doubt you have it, but even if you just have an average flu, go to your doc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckys_Mom Posted May 27, 2006 #5 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Can someone tell me the syptoms of it please? I'm curoius to what they are. The symptoms of bird flu (Avian influenza) are Sore throat Cough Fever Pneumonia Respiratory distress Respiratory failure Life threatening complications The symptoms of bird flu can depend on which virus caused the infection. If you have flu like symptoms the chances of you having Bird flu are very very very very small. Bird flu is a virus that primarily affects birds. Humans have caught the disease but only in a few very rare cases in the Far East and in Turkey. All people who have caught bird flu had close contact with infected birds.

Raptor Posted May 27, 2006 #6 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Like others have said, the chances of you catching bird flu are extremely small to start off with, let alone catching the deadly H5N1 strand. Plus the fact that you live on a pretty much isolated continent on the other side of the world, I think you would be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandamania Posted June 4, 2006 #11 Share Posted June 4, 2006 The whole Bird Flu was yet another hyped up scare story. As yet I do not think anyone in Western Europe has even got sick from it, and the media acts likes its the end of the world and huge amount of taxpayers money which get's wasted on it by government health agencies trying to look like they are in control. Remember SARS was meant to kill us all...flesh eating disease...Nile River Fever...AIDS to wipe out 70% of the USA and Europe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor Posted June 4, 2006 #12 Share Posted June 4, 2006 ^ Western Europe has even got sick from it, and the media acts likes its the end of the world and huge amount of taxpayers money which get's wasted on it by government health agencies trying to look like they are in control. Paradox. No one in Western Europe has gotten sick from it because of the 'huge amount of taxpayers money which get's wasted'. They are taking precautions in case of the event that human-to-human transmissions begin taking place and the threat is very real. If nothing was done and this turned in to a pandemic, you'd probably then be complaining about the fact that nothing was done. BIRD FLU! o my god its starting to spread human to human transmission THIS IS BAD FOLKS As far as I know that was a hoax, this link says the H5N1 strand which killed the two children yesterday hasn't mutated. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,198094,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
