There is no doubt that this can be traced back to the bent one.
Thanks - yes, sometimes I think the group of us that is following this pandemic closely is far too small - more of the main forum needs to see it. More of the "non-believers" need to be educated. They just don't go to the dedicated thread.
If you go back to the days before that thread existed, you'll see I was one of the frequent posters on this threat - back during SARS, when no one even differentiated between the various H(X)N(X) species. (Seems like Dr Niman only had two or three things posted on his "What's New" page then, and most of the info came from "the authorities".) Now we all know what liars those "authorities" are. I don't trust a single sentence from WHO or the CDC on this.
You're welcome.
Good night, all, early morning tomorrow.
We just don't know when...
As the one who started the long-running surveillance thread on the subject, I hardly think that I've been ignoring the issue.
If true it's only a matter of time before the virus gets on a plane and disembarks in hundreds of directions on the other end.
If the IOC allows China to host the Olympics under these conditions they will be responsible for a world-wide disaster.
Thanks for posting this. The entire forum needs a heads up on what the chinese and we are faced with. Your solo posting certainly helps to get the word out.
If you have a ping list for this please add me to it.
This is not sci-fi. You must think it is "summer" everywhere.
Additionally, by having all these articles listed in the single thread, they don't show up when searching for articles by title. So how do I know if it's been posted? (By being in the 'circle' of people that are following this subject inside FR? See what I mean? I've been on it from the start as well - along with Mother Abigail, Randall Flagg, etc.)
I am new to this thread. Do you have links to previous threads I could use for research?
No - it is summer over there. That's the entire fricking point - this thing is mutating rapidly IN THE SUMMER. Now that it is in the flyways for migratory birds, what's going to happen this fall? The virus - in its' various forms - will be coming to the rest of the world, in a form that transfers from human to human.
If it is raging in China, and is capable of surviving on smooth surfaces for extended periods, what about that new Chinese crap you just bought at Wal Mart? Is it infected?
From other sources - ProMed - ocean birds have been washing up all along the coasts. These birds came into contact with the outbreak in China. THAT MEANS IT IS HERE.
Whistle past the graveyard all you want. That's the joy of this forum. You can believe or disbelieve at your own peril. I'm not suggesting anyone buy any antivirals - they don't know if any of them will work. I just think that being prepared mentally for what is coming is important for all of us.
"This is not sci-fi. You must think it is "summer" everywhere."
No. I do know that it's winter in the Southern hemisphere right now. That's below the equator, you know.

The other site I like to use is at Pro-Med Mail. I'll have to Google that one since I'm not at my machine.
What's scary about this is that it gained strength in the hot season. Think about that.
Here's Pro-Med:

Wow ther is a LOT there. Could you give us newbies a summary?
If there was truly a super mutated human-infectious flu virus and it had been around for say a month in central China, it would certainly have already spread to Europe and N. America.
So far, no reports anywhere. Oh wait, maybe this is a MSM conspiracy. We are doomed. DOOMED.
