He has a reason now.

Don't be silly. A virus is not enough reason to blow up a continent.

Although...The topic of an epidemic is important. If we are to combat a virus that has never been seen before, it will prove troublesome to supress. It seems that we are scrambling around to try to be ready for the Avian Flu.

FINALLY! A reason to blow that continent with which we conduct so much business of the map!

Are you serious?

**Cenright** · 10-5-2005, 12:30 PM

Bush would never bomb a continent for this. NO president would. In fact, to even think that is complete idiocy, because an epidemic is nowhere near a reason to bomb a continent.

**Reach** · 10-5-2005, 12:38 PM

The thread title is obviously a joke...

As for the bird flu, it's a pretty scary thought.

I know. I was hoping that the title was a joke, something that the first poster did only to grab attention, and nothing else.

I propose that in ths thread, we ignore the title, and instead discuss the Avain Flu only.

In the article, we read that the U.S. government is planning to stockpile a hundred million dollars worth of experimental vaccine. How will the U.S. deal with it if the disease were to hit our shores?
In my opinion, if that were to happen, the governemnt would eliminate all chicken shipments...

Pumble · 10-5-2005, 12:53 PM

Rofl, people actually took it seriously.

msbrunnettemickey · 10-5-2005, 12:58 PM

Blowing up a continent because of that?

No.

Yeah what if the strains are different or something and it turns out our vaccine doesnt work? Big problem.

As for Bush bombing Asia, i dont think so. Although some people would joke about him doing just that, he's not that stupid and/or crazy.

QreepyBORIS · 10-5-2005, 02:43 PM

I love how people continue to take the topic title seriously even after it has been stated multiple times that it was not.

Ahh, I kind of doubt that this will end up being a major problem.

The fear is that the virus will mutate into a strain that transmits from human to human. Stopping chicken shipments has nothing to do with it.

This looks like yet another thing for media to whine about for a year.

SARS was the most stupid thing ever. "THERE HAVE BEEN LOADS OF DEATHS AND IT'S GOING AROUND AND INFECTING EVERYONE. RUN FOR YOUR LIVES, BUT DON'T FORGET TO WEAR A MASK." What they failed to mention was that it kills less people per year than the flu, and that the people that it tends to infect are eighty and can't even resist the cold without a huge risk of dying. Great-Grandpa may be concerned, but only for around a week, not the twelve months they report the number of deaths.

Also: Bomb Asia? o ya grate plan lets use explosivs big enuff 2 destroy da biggst continint out ther n somehow well be the only continent to survive, then all the poopy birdees will be gone and we can go over 2 canada to celebrate wit som beeer!!!1

srsly its good beer

One thing that made me chuckle in the article though, at the same time proving journalists are paid to sound good and not scientists:

Quote:

The tipping point, the place where it becomes something of an immediate concern, is where that virus changes, we call it mutates, to something that is able to go from human to human.

Whoa whoa whoa, you're confusing me with your technical scientific lingo.

Tps222 · 10-5-2005, 03:37 PM

Actually, the biggest continent is Antarctica, not Asia.

I wonder if this will ever turn into anything. Black Plague again lol.

What? No, Asia's way bigger. Never contradict me, for I am always right. I should know, it doesn't help with getting a girlfriend.

QreepyBORIS · 10-5-2005, 03:48 PM

Antarctica's only bigger than Australia--if that. It's tiny. It's just immense on our poorly-proportioned maps.

**Reach** · 10-5-2005, 04:12 PM

Antarctica is bigger than Australia and Europe. Asia is 3 1/2 times the size of Antarctica o_O
