New Bird flu to sicken the World after Sar, ten years later.Another bad movie.
New Sars, in China as birds deaths causes fatalities to rise. Air travel goes into steep dive, amid fears of transmission, and airport pull out the SOP during the Sars period , many years back. Over 20000 winged species in Shanghai local market were put down after the virus were detected in the samples. All other poultry markets were also closed. The measures led to sell off in other travel related market around the world.
Flashback to the Sars epidemic a decade back when the China flashpoint originated and under reported and hidden from the world until it became too big to hide, and killiing 2000 people and infecting 8000 world wide. Much less is known but the critical issue is the transmission to human to human. At the same time, NKorea seem to be free of the crisis, or so it seems. Which is worse, to be nuked or birded flu ? I chose none of the above. The world need a megalomaniac as much as a brain freeze in a drink. Pull out the infrared scanners before the airport scanners and the nightmare begins even before one step onboard to visit grandma for the spring break. In the USA, the most broke , with the best bloke to handle the bird crisis after Afghan and Taliban, another enemy on the horizon, and the CDC will be fixing a cocktail to save the world but it will take six months. I suppose all that visits to the great wall of China will need to wait, and await the WHO, that is who will lead the world to save the people like you and me. The new birdsick, it is called H7N9 from the the previous H5N1. It gets bad and worse. The good side so far is that it is really an avian virus and low pathogenic likely to cause mild system somewhat like a mid air turbulence and probably a wrong landing. But the bad and worse is that there are adapting to human mutations to genes which means bad news. On top of the NKorea nuke threat, is the end nears ? The next Zombies generations arises.
