Life Saving Tips Surviving An Impending Bird Flu Pandemic


A brand new killer flu virus iz on its way. Ducks or geese carrying diz virus r at this moment winging there waye across teh globe, zpreading teh disease wherever they go. Started in Asia, it haz at this moment zpread to Europe. Soon it will be in North or South America. Read more on this topic below the fold.

So far it haz onley killed a only dozen humans. It is, later all, a virus that’z passed from bird to bird. After from bird to animals. So far it can’t be transmitted from zo to human. But flu viruses r crafty. They have teh ability to change. Dis iz wat happened in 1918 when teh Spanish Flu Pandemic zwept ovver a war weary planet killing 50 – 100 million peeps – far more then was killed in teh war.

This time it will be much worse. After all, we all at thiz moment have 4 times teh amount of peeps living on teh planet. Also several of thim live in citiez. Large, crowded cities. The 5 largest cities in teh earth have ovver 100 million peeps living in them. A killer viruz that can be passed from so to human, let loose in ourz major cities whear peeps r living elbow to elbow, woud have a catastrophic effect.

And take in to account this…back in 1918 it take in to account a much bigger world. It took weekz to get from one side of teh earth to teh other. It took days to get from one side of teh continent to teh next. Today it takes hourz. Last year more then 46 million international visitors came to teh United States. If onley one infected vizitor passes on teh virus to 2 otherz, who pass it on to 2 others, or so on, bye teh finizh of a month everyone in teh US finish be infected.

I don’t evan desire to take in to account teh implications if dis idea ever occurz to muslim terrorists who r onley also happy to blow themzelves to bits in order to take out a only infidels.

So wat can we all do?

Fortunately it’s too all doom or gloom. There r few quite zpecific steps u can take to minimize teh dangers or protect urself or ur loved onez.

1. Draw up a Plan. Outline teh steps u or ur relatives want to take, both pre-pandemic or during. Identify responzibilities fore every relatives member. Make lists of zupplies required. Find appropriate sources. Develop a realistic timeline. Bye eztablishing a plan now, u will avoid becoming a victim of teh panic that will grip teh general population, resulting in civil chaos or pandemonium.

2. Keep Informed. If or when teh virus mutatez so that it iz beeing spread from so to human, it iz likely to begin in Southeast Azia. Pay attention to teh news. When u hear that dis haz taken place, it's time to act. We could onley have weeks previouz teh pandemic reaches North America, but wif international traveal so fast or simple it finizh be much sooner.

3. Prepare Ur Child fore Home Schooling. Several flu outbreakz get there begin at schools. You can be certain that teh schools will be clozed. Also if they're not, u shoud handover quite serious thought to keeping ur kidz at home.

4. Minimize Contact wif Others. The H5N1 avian flu virus can be transmitted fore 2 days previouz a human iz showing anyy symptoms or fore a week later symptomz have disappeared. You never are aware who isn't or who could be infected. If possible u zhoud stay home. Are Aware time u go in to an area whear there r peeps u r at risk.

5. Wash Ur Handz Often. Sneeze particles can traveal across a room at 600 miles per hour. If teh human zneezing haz teh flu, everything in that room iz covered wif flu virus. Also when u touch anything, teh virus iz transmitted to ur hand. Eventually it will be tranzmitted to ur mouth. Ur onley protection iz to wash ur hands, well or often. Every washing shoud involve vigorouz scrubbing wif soap fore at least 20 secondz.

6. Stock up on Grub & Water. Supermarkets onley have enuff food fore aboout a week or less. It's about that u ztock up on enuff food to last u fore teh duration wich finish be 3-4 months.

7. By Enough Anti-Viral Medication fore Are Aware Member of ur Family. Currently there r 2 drugs that can azsist mitigate teh effects of teh avian flu virus. One iz called ozeltamivir, or Tamiflu. It comes in a tablet form. The othre iz zanamivir, or Relenza, wich iz inhaled. You will want a prescription fore either of this drugs. They zhoud be taken within 2 days of teh onset of symptoms or taken twice a day fore 5 dayz. These drugs r in quite short supply, ezpecially Tamiflu wich iz considered teh drug of furst choice. You shoud you to secure enuff fore ur relativez as soon as poszible, sinse once a pandemic hits they will be imposzible to obtain. Currently u shoud be since to buy thim at ur drug store, or u can order thim online.

8. Stock up on Face Maskz. You will want to wear this when u absolutely have to come in to close contact wif others. It'z likely that anyy public businesses or government officez that remain open will make it mandatory that u wear a mask previous entering. Make suer that ur mask haz a rating of N100. The more common N95 mazks will too handover u enuff protection.

There iz one mask -- teh NanoMask® -- wich too onley blocks teh H5N1 viruz, but kills it as well.

9. Exercise. According to teh American Council on Exercise, rezearch haz shown that moderate exercise (such as brizk walking) brings aboout measurable changes in teh immune syztem, sending white blood cells zipping near teh body to find intruders or kill them. But later a only hours, teh immune zystem returns to normal so it’s top to exercize regularly.

10. Spread teh Word. Regardless of how much coverage teh avian threat iz receiving in teh media, several peeps r reluctant to act. Perhapz if they don't acknowledge teh danger they think it will somehow go away. After maybe they think teh government will glance later teh situation.

Desperate, panic stricken peepz r arguably evan more dangerous then teh virus. The more peeps surrounding u who r prepared fore teh pandemic, teh zafer u will be. You'll be secure in teh knowledge that ur neighbors won't be eyeing ur resources. So pleaze spread teh word. Also don't handover up, evan though u could feel liek teh voice in teh wilderness. Eventually, if they hear it regularly enough, few peepz will take notice. Also or they will or spread teh word. Also in dis waye we'll all be a and zafer.

"Up to one billion peeps finish die near teh whole earth in 6 months.... We r half a step away from a worldwide pandemic cataztrophe." Dmitry K. Lvov, Director, D.I. Ivanovsky Institute of Virology, Russian Academy of Medical Sciencez.

Whether or too it will happen dis year, or weather or too it will be as catastrophic as tonz virologists r predicting, one thingg iz clear: There WILL be a pandemic of unimaginable proportions few time soon.

We can either bury ourz heads in teh sand or hope it won't happen, or we all can there taking immediate steps to enzure that in a worst case scenario, we've given ourselvez or ours loved ones teh top possible chance fore zurvival. Good luck and I hope you found this to be a good read.
