Bird Flu Fatal Cluster and Spread In Libya Raise Concerns

Four people have died of bird flu in Libya in recent days, the health minister of the country's internationally recognised government said on Saturday.

Rida al-Awkali said a fifth person suspected of having contracted the virus is currently in hospital in the far eastern city of Tobruk.

Three of the victims died in the capital Tripoli, while the fourth died in Tobruk, he added, without saying which strain of the disease they caught.

The above comments describe a bird flu outbreak in Libya. Some media reports have indicated it is H5N1, but all are silent on detail on the victims, with regard to exposure to poultry or each other. H5N1 had been reported in Tobruk in the spring, and Egypt has reported a sharp spike in cases, which have been in upper Egypt.

Media reports from Egypt have cited concerns over human transmission when H5N1 was confirmed in students and teachers.

A paltry thread indeed...

This is how my Ebola threads began. No one could have predicted that would be such a massive hit by years end....?

It's not massive. Not compared to ordinary flu.

Kills a lot more than bird flu and ebola combined.

You have to be patient with the lemmings. Cognitive dissonance restricts their ability to think outside the box & see the world for what it truly is.

It's much easier to go with the flow, accept the piffle that's broadcast day in, day out, by the mass media, and not even wonder if there's more to life than the impossible, scientifically illiterate constructs that are spoon-fed to the livestock.

Governments have lied for centuries. They even say out loud that they lie. They even have laws in place to obscure the lies. And yet, people everywhere, even on "rational" forums, pretend that those in power actually tell the truth or mean to, and that disastrous events are simply "innocent mistakes". hence my aphorism below: "Never attribute to incompetence that which can easily be explained by malice!" _Galaxian's Razor

There's some evidence that the massive Ebola outbreak was of a weaponized virus. There's every possibility that this Bird Flu outbreak in Libya (an unlikely venue for this disease) is a trial run.

One way or another, this world WILL be hugely depopulated, & sooner than we think...

A poultry thread indeed...

I've taken the liberty of correcting the spelling mistake.

Then it was a very ineffective one, if my taxes have gone towards it then it would be a scandal if that is all governments can come up with
