crooked*smile Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 I know it's wrong to make light of these things...and you've probably all heard this joke anyway...but im bored so here you go:A bear, a lion and a chicken meet. Bear says: "If I roar in the forests of North America, the entire forest is shivering with fear." Lion says: "And if I roar on the great plains of Africa, the entire savannah is afraid of me." Says the chicken: "Big deal. I only have to cough, and the entire planet wets itself." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Run for your liiiiiiivvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeees!!!!!Who gives a shit? As long as it's still confined to birds it doesn't matter. Only when it can be caught by humans AND transmitted from human to human is it going to be a problem. Just now it's no more dangerous to us today as it was yesterday.

catherine Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 how fast could it get here from ayr?well it takes about 5-6hours travelling by train and megabus.so you'd have some warning :-)but its closer to aberdeen than ayr is just now.we'd probably get it at the same time :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just now it's no more dangerous to us today as it was yesterday.well don't go feeding the swans then spooner. it can be transmitted to humans by birds, that's why a few people in turkey died a couple of months ago.seeya, i'm off to the hills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 it can be transmitted to humans by birds' date=' that's why a few people in turkey died a couple of months ago.[/quote']At the moment it can only be transmitted in extreme cases when someone has prolonged exposure to infected birds.

spellchecker Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 At the moment it can only be transmitted in extreme cases when someone has prolonged exposure to infected birds.the problem being that animals (nae just birds) can harbour the virus for sustained periods before dying or even showing symptoms:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4761622.stmcats get bird flu too! who's had a cat that didn't take in a bird once or twice?RUNTOTHEHILLLLLLLLLLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!(though not the ones that have eyes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 yea wasn't it bird farmers who died? although i guess everyone in aberdeen has prolonged exposure to seagulls so perhaps we are all doomed.meh, there's not much we can do about it is there? just gotta sit back and see what happens. the government will fix everything right? RIGHT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pogofish Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 At the moment it can only be transmitted in extreme cases when someone has prolonged exposure to infected birds.Indeed.To paraphrase a sensible person - For now' date=' you have more chance of being hit by a train whilst playing the accordion than dying of bird flu.If it gets worse, a few shots of this might see you right:[img']http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b41/oryxian/birdflu.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trippinoneastereggs Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Two things...1/ why is everyone going on about Ayr? its been found in Fife....much closerI think its because Catherine is in Ayr, and it has a lot of swans on the river. Much like Dumfries. which co-incidentally have both been places Robert Burns has lived for a prologued time. Anyone see any links? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
