TREETOAD Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Lock the door, switch the light You'll be so afraid tonight Hide away from the bad Count the nine lives that you had  Start to scream, shout for help There is no one by your side To forget what is done Seems so hard to carry on  Death walks behind you Death walks behind you Death walks behind you Death walks behind you  drink up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonehead Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 My vote would be for the cc.com server to crash. BTW, FEMA has nothing to do with the Bird Flu. Homeland Security, CDC, USDA, WHO and others are all falling all over themselves. Keep in mind that it hasn't been found in North America yet and it still requires a mutation to become a human threat. You may now return to your Krispy Kremes and Starbucks.  I thought that it was a human threat, but that it required further mutation to become communicable among humans (not just from bird to human) and thus become a pandemic-sized threat. Is that a gross oversimplification?  Viruses can act as agents in transpecific gene transfer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foraker Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 BTW, FEMA has nothing to do with the Bird Flu. Â Gee, really? Man, you can't even take a swipe at a bungling agency anymore without Penny Pantybuncher stepping in to correct you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonehead Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Do ya remember the brouhaha surrounding the swine flu, I think, during the late '70s? Seems the swine flu epidemic didn't materialize and that the vaccinations actually caused more deaths. Â The Bush administration has already indicated its willingness to dispatch troops to enforce a quarantine in the event of an outbreak of bird flu. At face value, seems a sensible thing to do, to plan ahead in the contingency of an outbreak. But, man, things keep getting weirder and weirder...

EWolfe Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Seriously. The best way to protect yourself during this is: Â 1. carry an alcohol hand-cleaner with you and wash your hands like a fanatic. 2. Never use your hands on a public handle (use clothing instead) 3. Remember, everyone may be a carrier. Due diligence. 4. Be aware of your hands touching your face between washings. This is a major transmission point.

TREETOAD Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Â There are some really good hand cleaners out now that we use in the hospital, on is called monorapid which has lanolin in it. you don't use water just squirt it on and rub until it evaporates, I must use it twenty times a day.

JoshK Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 The next disaster will be man-made. Either a terrorist attack or a big oil spill. Â Â No way. With the frequency of natural disasters compared to man-made ones the chances are the next will also be natural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could invent a sealant for our bodies that allowed for some ammount of breathability but that would not pass germs our allow us to touch our own skin we would be totaly rich. it could be like a spray on thing that you spray on as you walk threw the door in the morning.

Dru Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 If you are never exposed to germs you get an autoimmune disease cause the immune system doesn't have enough to do so it starts attacking you instead. I'd rather have the flu one week a year than permanent asthma or Crohn's or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
