Tonight at 10pm - Super Flu

In 1918, as many as 50 million people perished from the flu worldwide, making it the greatest natural disaster of all time. Experts say it's only a matter of time before this happens again. The outbreak of SARS, Avian Flu gave us a glimpse how the world would react to a new pandemic. What if a strain of a new Superflu virus was unleashed to the unexpecting world? We will follow the story of one woman, "Patient Zero" infected with a Superflu as she travels around the globe, unknowingly carrying the lethal virus inside her embattled lungs. We will dive into her body, and learn how the body attacks from the inside. Is her immune system strong enough to fight back against these fast mutating invaders? Can it be stopped? How would you react when the neighbor next door will decide if you will live or die? :-?

Very interesting but worrying!

The way the Eastern world look after and rear their animals is apalling, and we have them to thank for the latest outbreak!

I think the WHO should educate them on animal husbandry and ban travel to and from those areas until they learn.

To think we are being critisized for keeping birds in 'roomy' aviaries, and to see chicks crammed into crates on their chicken farms just beggars belief!

Why aren't the AR over there sorting them out?.....Probably for fear of being eaten by the Chinese!! :razz:

tha fact is we are the only coutry who is soft enough to let the nutters have they say, any other countries they would be locked up and beaten with a stick that has many splinters.

Well then maybe it's time to take the gloves off and play dirty just like them! Is it still open season Paul? Obviously, we will not be so cowardly, and steal DEAD bodies!
