Large Number of Deaths Expected with Avian Flu
Numerous reports have surfaced indicating that the world can expect at least 2 million deaths from a new strain of flu.
While WHO's flu spokesman at the agency's Geneva headquarters did not say the 150 million prediction was wrong, he emphasized that 7.4 million deaths is a more realistic estimate.
Scientists have made predictions ranging from less than 2 million to 360 million. Last year, WHO's chief for the Asia-Pacific region predicted 100 million deaths, but until now that was the highest figure publicly mentioned by a WHO official...
Most human cases have been linked to contact with sick birds. But WHO has warned the virus could mutate into a form that spreads easily among humans - changing it from a bird virus to a human pandemic flu strain.
These people are sooooo stupid. Don't they know there is no such thing as a mutation? There is only Intelligent Design.
