Within the last hour it;s been confirmed that a parrot that died in quarantine in the UK had bird flu.
Are we all doomed?
Who's gonna have the injection the government will insist we all have?

I doubt the injection will do any good - but if it hits London, you won't get me on the Tube going to work!

Lets get some perspective. It died in quarantine... therefore the system works... bird flu has not officially reached the UK yet.....

Well let's hope Rachman is correct. But you can guarantee that the British Airways share price will dip on Monday!

This is true, but..... It came in on a plane so it had to be loaded and unloaded and, therefore, came in contact with people. All the people that came in contact with the bird have been vaccinated/treated. What about the people on the plane?? Is the air the same in the hold as it is in the different classes above? Maybe I am just paranoid (yes, I am  ) but the UK is not 100% uninfected IMO Ali |

Remember how many were supposed to die from CJD? THousands - dead so far? Less than 100 AFAICR.
I'm more worried about getting run down or someone cracking my Aces!!!

Im more worried about the goverment 'insisting' that everyone be vaccinated. I have stood and am still standing up to the medical profession with regards to vaccinations and believe me they are relentless in trying to wear you down.

It has been said that if you have had your basic flu vaccs then you should be fine.
