Killer Flu
Does the killer flu have to be a killer?
According to some experts the killer flu is going
to kill millions of people worldwide in the next few years but
according to other experts this is not actually the case. There are
plenty of people who think that the killer flu can be stopped with a
little preparation and care.
The killer flu that is making the rounds this time
is the killer flu of the bird variety. You should note that this
killer flu is being given to people who have actually come into
contact with birds. There are very few occasions where the killer
flu has gone from person to person. And you should also know that
the vast majority of killer flu cases have occurred in Asia so if
you have nothing to do with birds and you live in North America or
Europe or Australia you are probably not going to be getting hit
with the killer flu anytime soon.
Bit back to the experts who claim that a killer
flu pandemic can be avoided. Their theory is that if the killer flu
outbreak is caught and contained in time it can be kept from
spreading all over the entire world.
There has been at least some success when it comes
to the containment of the killer flu in that millions of birds have
been killed to try to stop the spread of the killer flu. This so far
has worked in that there are very few provinces that are affected
with this killer flu now.
Of the countries that have been affected by the
killer flu Thailand has been the best at containing the problem.
This is because they actually have some pretty good killer flu
protocols in place. For example they have people stationed all over
the country whose job it is to simply keep watch for anyone
exhibiting the symptoms of the killer flu. If and when they see
these symptoms they will make sure that the person gets medical
treatment.
There are so many people there who do this every
single day and if only other countries could get these types of
volunteer their cases of killer flu could be contained and avoided
as well. This is a simple solution that can be done with minimal
expense and the best part is that the killer flu can be watched for
without having to have doctors all over the place.
