H7N9 flu spreads to Taiwan. possible human to human transmission

Seriously, I think people travel too much...why does a businessman have to fly across the country or world, is he going to do some physical work that can't be accomplished with local labor?

Check out this disease incident map The grey markers are bird flu - they're all over the place, China, Mexico, Germany, South Africa...

Right? Staying home is the only option to avoid it if it becomes a pandemic.

Great article, thanks..
(Scary picture!)

China is obviously covering up the severity of this so we better hope it doesn't hop a plane and start spreading from person to person.

This is going to be ginormous!!!

Google elderberries and their health benefits in preventing the flu virus from replicating.

This will probably hit in the late fall/early winter when people's vitamin D levels are low. So now is the time to stock up on vitamin D, and to find where the elderberry bushes are in your area. Elderberries can be preserved in a vodka solution (elderberries, vodka, sugar - vent once a day and shake.)Or elderberries can be made into wine.

Of course one would have to drink a little elderberry wine every 6-8 hours to keep the flu away. You don't need a lot, a small shot glass would do it. Not enough to get drunk, but enough to feel a little guilty about drinking at 6 am in the morning.

Yeah. I used to work at Disney. Yikes it was scary thinking about all that traveling. Bringing diseases from God knows where.

so the story is like a bad film.. they caught it off a chicken or a pig and it spreading via humans.

was probably the cook that shook the hand of the woman to be photographed.. start the search there..

Great! Yes sarcasm! I have a stop over at a Taiwan airport tomorrow...time to buy a surgical mask!

Thank you. I don't know where any elderberry bushes are. New project.

And goggles! Flu can enter through the eyes. Good luck!

And ears?? Any soft mucus membrane. Just not sure about ears?

A plane or a cargo vessel.
Look how many chineses ports are in the top 50 in term of activity volume:

I don't know. I read somewhere recently, it would come in three waves with the second being the worst. Lasting around18-24 months When I read that, I remembered we were warned of that in another thread. You know which one.

To and fro.

The air pollution in China is so bad where it blocks UVB sunlight from reaching people. I would not be surprised if many died from this killer flu if it caught on.

Vitamin D at the right dosage may be your best protection against flu. Maybe the combination of both vitamin D and flu vaccine may even work better but I haven't come across anything to prove that.

I tried it this flu season. It really did work.

I don't know which one. Any hints? Life just doesn't afford me the time to read half of what I'd like to and a small fraction of what I should.

THanks.

As for the three waves, whoever is making projections seems to be basing them on the history of the Spanish flu that hit in 1918, FWIW. That's how it was.

Lol!! I think I'd be able to mange the guilt.

I don't have any links myself, maybe someone else does. I buy mine when they go on sale at any of our local stores, like Pharma Plus or Shoppers Drug. Another good place to get them are industrial supply places, lots of trades use them, and they usually have pretty good pricing too.

Just ordered 4 bottles of elderberry extract for the preps. Just in case this does go hot.

I picked up the mutated flu that hit back in late December. Really sucked! I was very sick for 2.5 weeks & weakened for another month. Even now, my lungs are still not back up to full capacity.

Sucked enough for me, but I would NOT want the kiddos to suffer like I did -- or worse.

I bought my supply at Walgreens. The pharmacist will be able to help you select the type that best filters viruses.

Same here...I got it right before Christmas and picked up another virus at the end of January. I've never been so sick. It wasn't until the end of March that the fevers finally stopped. Oddly, nobody else in my family got more than a couple of sniffles...thank God.

I already bought masks and 20bottles of Purex and im ordering the ingredients to make the "4 thieves oil" to help us not catch the virus. Bcoz as soon as i hear it has reached N.America im not taking any chances!!
..Better be ready than sorry :-)

Haven't tried the elderberry yet, but it's on my list now for sure. Colloidal silver is really good as well. I wouldn't be without it.
