Bird flu could become the greatest threat to modern civilization and the world poorly prepared to face bird flu pandemic. Rapid dissemination of the bird flu virus raises questions: what can we do to protect themselves if an attack of bird flu pandemic?
A potential bird flu pandemic can not be considered lightly.
By taking samples from the lungs offering researchers dug in the U.S. Disease Control Center for Spanish flu in 1918 confirmed the bird flu. News worrying because the Spanish flu pandemic is a global disaster menginfeksi about a fourth of the United States and one fifth of the world.
From 20 million to 50 million people died of Spanish flu in 1918 "bird" and most of the victims aged 20 to 40 years. A pattern is unusual because of the flu usually kills, sick children young and old.
At the height of the Spanish flu funeral limited to 15 minutes, no chronic shortage of coffin and digging the grave and the store is prohibited to make the sale. It seems that the bird flu mutates as "bird flu" in 1918 the population of Spain is very dangerous because people do not have the opportunity to develop resistance to the virus that is usually confined to birds.
Worse still, the effects of bird flu outbreaks are not limited to illness and death. SARS Outbreak in Hong Kong in terms of striking show that trade can be closed in the area suffer cases of deadly diseases.
If large scale bird flu pandemic were to break in the west we could see the cities as Hong Kong's afraid for a short period of SARS in 2003. Empty shops, empty streets and the trade grinding to stop.
Dr. Michael Osterholm, epidemiologist at the University of Minnesota called potential bird flu pandemic "the single biggest risk to our world today." David Nabaro from the UN health predicted 5-150 million people could die worldwide if the bird flu virus mutates to human to human virus. British Medical Head, Sir Liam Donaldson says there is no problem IF task viruses such as avian flu pandemic will strike but when the human population. Sir Liam also showed the vaccine to people with bird flu virus to humans can not be produced until the virus mutates and the avian flu vaccine may not be effective even after one can be produced.
Asian flu pandemic of 1957 showed how difficult to vaccination against the influenza virus mutates quickly expanded. Despite the advance warning and even vaccines developed quite rapidly spread of Asian bird flu to the United States in 1957 where it killed 70,000 people.
Health authorities have difficulty producing and vaccine fast enough to fight the virus. Also the nature of the influenza virus mutates quickly means a lot of vaccine provides protection are very limited.
Anti-viral medicine is more recent developments in the war against respiratory viruses such as avian flu and the government in the western world are beginning to stockpile anti-viral drug tamiflu as part of a plan of protection of bird flu. But the bird flu pandemic tamiflu may not be as effective as hoped authorities.
In a disturbing development for health authorities tamilflu resistant strains of bird flu that appears. Recently, a Vietnamese girl diagnosed with bird flu tamiflu resistant strain and the Chinese bird flu H5N1 virus showing resistance around 70% of drugs such as tamiflu adamatane.
Other anti-virus drugs such as Relenza may be more effective if the attack of bird flu pandemic, but up-to-human bird flu virus mutates humans, we can not be certain which drug - if any - will provide the first line of defense pharmaceutical bird flu.
On the side light from the sale of bird flu prevention of sauerkraut in the Twin Cities 54 stores in the United States jumped 840% after the study is inconclusive and small by Korean researchers found bacteria in fermented vegetables may accelerate the recovery of chickens infected with bird flu.
People are more interested in the protection of some bird flu more serious than that fermented cabbage could beautify consistent recommendations from health authorities around the world to reduce your chance of catching the bird flu virus. More than 90% of respiratory viruses like bird flu enters the body through contact between the mucous membranes, eyes and nose and your nails. They ride their way into your body when invited yours. In the WHO World Health Organization conference news Influenza Program leader Klaus Stohr said Global frequent hand washing is the best way to avoid viruses, including bird flu.
Each government health authorities in the western world recommends hand washing as a preventive policy to prevent respiratory viruses such as avian flu, SARS, influenza and common cold. But effective hand washing is not as simple as possible visible on the surface. Important techniques such as soap you use. Antibacterial soap is not recommended for regular hand washing even for health professionals.
