BANGKOK, Thailand -- The World Health Organization has issued a dramatic warning that bird flu will trigger an international pandemic that could kill up to seven million people.
The influenza pandemic could occur anywhere from next week to the coming years, WHO said.
www.cnn.com...
"Even with the best case scenario, the most optimistic scenario, the pandemic will cause a public health emergency with estimates which will put the number of deaths in the range of two and seven million," he said.
The number of people effected by this will be in the BILLIONS because it will effect up to 30% of the world population. If they are releasing this kind of information now, I wonder what they really know? Is this flu the sure thing they are saying here, or are they just preparing for what could happen?

FYI - I tracked this bird flu as starting in the USA. ...IMO it began with a contamination of soldiers vaccines in WWI - it was officially acknowledged in the USA in 1938 when it was found to be transmitted congenitally. Called 'fibromuscular dysplasia' it spread to domestic turkeys in the USA by 1980, and by 1996 it had spread to Japan. By 1997, it had mutated into bird flu and killed a girl in Hong KOng.
