5 to 150 million deaths possible in a global pandemic

Buy Stock in Roche
Only one's with a vaccine

5 to 150 million deaths possible in a global pandemic



They over GUESSTIMATED and said that at the worst it could be is 7.4 million, but even that would be as high as it would go.

Thank god
And I was worried

Def. considering dumping a few grand into roche

Most will come out of Ethiopia, so......

3 in Philly and 1 in Pittsshitburg.....

The rest of the country will be clear.

Its carried by chickens? Looks like the Mexicans are fucked.



















It was just a joke, please dont say I am a racist. My sons father's cousin (also is neighbor) has a chicken for a pet and it watches TV w/ my son...maybe I should put a stop to that... Anyways they are PR not Mexican.

That is until it is transmittable h2h. That is where the 100mil+ fatalities come into play.

The avian flu has a pretty damn high mortality rate.

Roche does not make a vaccine; they make a product called "tamiflu", which can help to fight the influenza. It isnt a cure, however.

The vaccine takes 6-12 months to make a dose, and there are less than 2.5 million doses. Believe me, the US is nowhere NEAR the top of the list for the vaccine OR tamiflu. There is a MAJOR shortage of both.

Still expecting 50+ million fatalities worldwide once af goes h2h.

This is no cakewalk; there is not a single person on this planet with anti-bodies, or resistance to this, as no one has been exposed to the strain.

I can post links, etc if you'd like.

They just made the official numbers today after they first guesimated it high. They had the interview on CNN this evening.

once it hits a big city, it will be all down hill from there http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/plthumbsdown.gif

Why did I have to read this? Now I am getting freaked out. Couldnt we just do a mass bird takeout? Like they do when canker hits the orange trees down here, they quarentine the area and cut the f'ers down. Guess this is a little scarier than a moldy orange... So how doyou get it? From the air or what?

It doesnt matter what you saw on CNN. This has been the running opinion of microbiologists for a while now.

When (if) the influenza becomes H2H; it will spread like wildfire. It will take 1-3 weeks to reach NYC, LA, Paris, London, and Philadelphia.

If H5N1 goes H2H, it will infect millions of people before symptoms even begin to show.

Those people will infect millions more.

Then the first group will start showing symptoms.

And so on and so on.

40-50% of the infected will die. They have enough vaccine for 2.5m worldwide.

I'll be living underground w/ my son for the next 6 months if anyones looking...

Politicians...CEOs..Famous people..

Guess who's down there at the bottom.
Yep.. That would be all of us.

just think about what chaos will happen. all these people know that they are going to die. thats just like that song by mase, that says" if you had 24 hours to live, what would you do? who would you screw? and who would you notify that yo ass about to die".

but on the bright side all the politicians would prolly get attacked since everybody hate them, and this would be even more of a reason.

That's all assuming the bug mutates with the ability to go from human to human. As of right now, it's still bird to human; so it's OK.

But if it mutates (and there is a chance it will), and I end up catching it and starting to die... I'm going to the dealership, financing a 1k, and blasting the fuck off in style.

This particular avian flu is pretty much new. Enough so that no one has any natural resistance to it.

OK, no one has answered me and maybe I missed it in the article but how does it pass from the bird to the human?

Amy relax
It is located in south east asia for now
It come from all fowl
Chickens ducks etc...
Roche has 2 million doses in the US alone
They are based out of switzerland
Granted the vaccine isn't a cure all and this could get nasty but don't be freaking out. I never let my kids play with birds of any sort thay are full of nasties anyhow

It takes 9 months to produce a vaccine

This is something to worry about but you don't need to get all hyper over it

Amy, It's airborne; transmitted from the air. It can live for 3-4 days in the open atmosphere, and can travel 1-2km.

Don't count on ever being able to get tamiflu (which is the roche produced drug; and it is NOT the vaccine. it is a 'treatment' option).

I worked in a pharmacy for quite a while; and believe me, tamiflu is tough to get. We would get a shipment of 75 boxes in, and they would be gone within 2 days. That's not even flu season.

It's overprescribed, and very difficult to find. If a major flu epidemic hits, it will be gone before you can blink; believe me.

LMAO, yeah maybe you're right..,.

OK, at least now I know a little more than I did before. i wasnt sure if it was in the US or what so thanks for the info. I guess I can let my son out of his plastic bubble for the time being.

correct it is airborn and slight cases of it where already reported in the us.. trust me i know from expirence untreated it feels like death .. you crap your brains out your intestines fee like they wanna jump out of your body and you cant eat a thing for days.. in places where they are already starving and weak thats why it will kill so many .. and as far as not catching it you can catch it from having a conversation over dinner with someone who has the illness and will take around 3 days to set it . naturally in elderly people it will kill fast in younger people like myself you can get over it in maybe about 2 weeks if treated properly sux big hairy balz trust me

That's not exactly true. Since no one has antibodies and resistence to this strain of influenza, it kills everyone just as easily. And it has a 40-50% mortality rate. Which means 40-50% of people who catch it, will die (regardless of age, location, etc).

This isn't your average flu. This is much.. Much.. Worse.

The dems in congress are calling for FOUR BILLION dollars in relief fund for this already.

It's called the H5N1 flu. There is also a treatment you can buy for it. Get em before they are gone.

The viruses mutate. eventually it can be transfered from human to human. When that happens, it will be similar to the outbreak in the 1920s.

By healthy I mean those w/o overly suppressed immune systems and not deficient in nutrients like 3rd world country residents can be. Most of us would fit into that. I don't consider myself fit (any longer) and still wouldn't be phased by this birdy virus.
