Hygiene and nutrition are far better answers to any "Bird Flu" health concerns
you may have than is government sponsored quarantine or inoculation, or WHO.
Can't help you much with the political aspects..... couple a perceived
"pandemic" with the sad state of the $US and you might get "chaos", and
everyone knows what comes out of chaos.
Take care, UncBob
Nutrients are Effective in Influenza
Influenza is one of the oldest and most common infections and now new fears
are spreading through the media about the dangers of a new pandemic of an avian
flu.
Flu viruses can be controlled at several levels:
Directly by affecting the metabolism of specific viruses and thereby limiting
their ability to multiply and infect the cells and indirectly by hindering
viral spread in the tissue.
To date there are no effective therapies against flu viruses. In the Dr Rath
Research Institute our researchers have tested whether specific nutrient
mixture can affect human influenza A virus. This mixture is composed of
nutrients which have been effective in controlling the spread and growth of
cancer cells in the tissue. Since all viruses spread in the body using similar
mechanism to cancer this nutrient formulation could have an effect on viral
infections as well. In addition, many of these nutrients have demonstrated
clinical effectiveness in controlling flu in various studies. ... text

Summary:
Nutrient mixture containing vitamin C, Green tea extract (EGCG ), amino acids :
lysine, proline, arginine, N acetyl cysteine , selenium, and other essential
natural components can directly decrease viral multiplication in infected cells
and limit their spread by curbing enzymatic degradation of extracellular
surroundings
Conclusion: Nutrients can inhibit secretion of MMP2 and MMP9 in kidney cells
infected by human influenza A, thereby stopping their spread in the tissue.
