I think this thing about the flu is over exaggerated. Yeah elderly and young children are at risk of getting harmfully sick, but even then it's not the worst thing that could happen. I have heard many times about bird flu so does anyone tells me about bird flu treatment?

It's not over .
Specialists say it wil be in Europe for 5 more years or so.
I hope scientists will figure out a way for humans not to get infected with this virus..a very good vaccine or something.

Btw ,Welcome to the forums ,i think you are the only one in the world who joins an emulation forum and first post is about bird flu :D

A lot of information about the ol' Spanish Flu of 1918 has been coming out in recent months, and that too originated with a bird flu (although a different variety).

The last two major influenza pandemics, in the 50's and 60's iirc, were also bird flu related.

They've also found that many of those that died in the Spanish Flu were not the elderly or young - they were in fact perfectly healthy people.

So, it's better to be prepared than to risk allowing the worst to happen.

Everyone has the right to live .It's not on us to decide if someone should die.

It was halfway intended as a joke - on the other side of the coin, it is not on us to decide who lives, either ;)

Bird flu itself is not harmfull, its the humane immune system that over-reacts to the virus, so infact it is the young and fit who are most at risk. Alderley and very young, with weaker immune systems will not be affected by the over-reaction of the immune system as much.

They just found some dead birds (flu) here in Sweden so it's definitely not over.
