Hey everybody, I'm back at work, but my wife is still home in bed under doctors orders. She is recovering but still has vestiges of the original headache. Hopefully her prescription meds will work soon.

Does anybody know what makes the BIRD FLU so deadly? What is the mechanism by which death occurs and how long does it take to kill the average healthy human? What's the incubation period. For only having about 165 deaths worldwide so far, I don't see the imminency of the contagion to move to the USA as a mutated strain able to be easily passed human to human. Yet Bush is talking about reworking the Posse Commitatus acts and that has me worried. Yes I understand that if huge areas must be quaratined, it would require the military....but that need not be in a LEO role and thus not requiring suspension of posse commitatus. I wonder if all this hoopla is a cover for something else (~tinfoil hat beginning to glow--small propeller on top spins madly~) that's on the horizon and heading our way even faster than the flu?

The thought crossed my mind, that a flu shot might also contain other things.

Would it be nuts to think the jihadi's would use the flu
as a bio weapon?

I have a faint idea that it was developed in a lab, as was the variety of Sars that kills so quickly.

Yes, I am one who thinks a lot of the new diseases came out of a lab.

What I am finding curious is that the left/commie talk shows are so against this flu and getting shots, that they are foaming at the mouth, sure that this time they will be able to impeach Bush, for lying about the flu.

Not just one program, but all over the dial.

I think the anti flu people scare me more than the flu people do.

I post maybe a tenth of the Promed reports, the bird flu is moving all over the globe and people are dying with it.

Why is it so important for the left to talk people out of getting the shot?

ExSoldier...I have been thinking the same thing about the bird flu and all the hoopla splashed on the MSM everyday. Posse Commitatus is a bit much for the 165 deaths that have occured in mainly poor rural areas. So the urgency seems somewhat overdone...unless like you stated there is "something else"...I am apt to go with the latter.
