Mass Graves Planned If Bird Flu Pandemic Reaches Britain

"A "prudent worst case" assessment suggested that 320,000 could die in Britain IF the H5N1 virus mutated into a form contagious between humans, according to a confidential report."

Sheesh.....and we all know how good GOVERNMENT is at PREDICTING ANYTHING.....sheesh....I'm more worried about a dirty bomb!

My neighbor who has a large field right behind me and during dove season bags 100-200 a day has already told me he won't be shooting birds this year due to bird flu fears.

I'm glad because when he shoots, I have to take my four dogs away to my brother's house.

[Riley]

Mmmm...goulash. Haven't had any good goulash in years.

[Palladin]

Those glum Brits...always expecting the worst.

They should be more afraid of what's going on in their mosques right now.

The CDC and the governments have been so disappointed that they have no pandemic to scare people with, they have to keep using that word for every single thing that pops up..

The sky is not falling chicken little..

[AD from SpringBay]

So how many times can you use the word 'prudent' in an article?

[TaMoDee]

I understand the concern for your dogs. We had to stop shooting doves behind my partner's house because of his wife's dogs and the neighbor's kennel 300 yds away.

Your neighbor is really out in front of a "free-for-all"
season. The legal limit for doves varies but 10-12 per day and the limit with 20-24 in possession. Your neighbor is a
"game hunter slob".

I wondered what was the limit. He 'baits' his field too...is that legal?

I don't understand why this is news beyond the MSM blowing it's own horn to generate subscriptions.

All Military and Civil Defense agencies have such plans. Probably since WWII if not earlier.

Planing for mass destruction, refugees, casualties, etc. is part and parcel of what a responsible government is suppose to do.

This is along the lines of the MSM and Libs screaming that we had plans for invading Iraq before 9/11.

Well, Duh... We have plans for attacking anyone. We still have plans for Mexico and Canada. Thinking up these kinds of plans is what the Pentagon gets paid for.

The only thing worse then going to war or dealing with a disaster is going to war or dealing with a disaster unprepared.

'nough said.

This is so stupid, people are being scared for no reason! There are alot more dangerous things we should be worried about than a bird flu that doesn't exist.

A lot like the uproar about nukes in Iran. They don't have them yet, so lets bury our heads in the sand.

[LZ_Bayonet]

The US has dealt with this burial issue before, when there was constant danger of atomic bomb attack.

In the 1950's they had public service commercials and newsreels, with a voice-over, that showed people digging a grave-like hole and placing a door from the house over the top. Then they showed the person piling the dirt on the door (for increased protection), then crawling under a narrow opening at one end. Then, if there were a blast, they were to cover their eyes and wait as long as possible before coming out.

Of course there was little protection from blast, and less from radiation. But, survivors, or civilians or military personnel re-entering the area would only have to pull the doors out from under the dirt to complete a burial.

What a brilliant idea! We should just tell everyone that you can escape Bird Flu by living in a similar hole.

The problem with this idea of a pandemic is that most of the people that died from the one in the early 1900s died not from the virus, but from getting pneumonia as a consequence of the virus.

NOW WE CAN TREAT PNEUMONIA WITH ANTIBIOTICS.

**Prepare now.***

Remember the SWINE FLU panic of the 1970's? More people died standing in line for the shots than died of the swine flu.
Only ONE man caught it from his pigs and he had more photographers and reporters surrounding him than you could shake a stick at.

I have been saying this same thing right here on FR ever since I registered. Will they believe me Noo00o.

[goodnesswins]

Google Earth member Declan has just done an overlay of all reported cases of bird flu. FYI

Well then you have known about it a lot longer than me. I just found out a couple of weeks ago.
