Scientists have long feared H5N1 combining with another more easily transmitted flu.

Very interesting post.

So what sort of mortality rate would you expect to see with this 'Super-Flu' out of interest?

Thanks BeingS...

I thought i had reached "DOOMMAXIMUS"














guess i hadn't yet...

I've followed H5N1 (Bird flu) for years AND BELIEVE ME Bird Flu MAKES Swine Flu look like a cakewalk.

Here's what I think they (WHO) are REALLY concerned with, but can't or won't reveal this information to the public due to the possibility of an all out PANIC response from people throughout the world. I feel certain the experts are feverishly working on this possibility quietly in the background:

Swine flu has not yet hit Asia, where H5N1 is predominately found. H5N1 has not yet mutated where it is easilty transmittable from human to human. However, there are quite a few people throughout Asia who DO have H5N1 due to having contact with contaminated birds.

Once the swine flu, which IS EASILY transmittable, reaches Asia ...will the TWO COMBINE?

This scenario has always been a serious concern of health experts.

If the two viruses combine...........we then have a

SUPER FLU...google it.
A pandemic SUPER FLU would be devasting...even more so than what we're looking at now with Swine Flu.

It only takes 1 person with bird flu to contract Swine flu for the two to form a Super Flu. Again, this has always been their biggest concern.

Southern,dosen"t this "swine flu" have avian flu DNA along with human?

"Still, around 60% of humans known to have been infected with the current Asian strain of HPAI A(H5N1) have died from it, and H5N1 may mutate or reassort into a strain capable of efficient human-to-human transmission."
There's some real DOOM in store if our current swine flu mixes with H5N1.

I think this may be the real worry in the grand scheme of things. The WHO seem a bit worked up for what is only apparently a mild flu at the moment.

Southern,dosen"t this "swine flu" have avian flu DNA along with human?

Yeah, someone else pmed me with that question.

I don't know the answer, but I'm trying to look it up for you now.

Very interesting post.

Ye, according to the BBC site it seems it does have avian flu DNA in it. Not a 100% answer though.


Antigenic shift in pigs
The name "swine flu" is a slight misnomer as it is believed pigs acted as a mixing pot for several flu strains, containing genetic material from pigs, birds and humans. Most humans have never been exposed to some of the antigens involved in the new strain of flu, giving it the potential to cause a pandemic

"given the similarity between the avian flu component of this new virus and the 1918 SPANISH fLU,a possible precaution to take is common household cinnamon from the spice rack.

During the 1918 outbreak it was noticed,that people who worked at a cinnamon processing factory,did not catch the disease.Cinnamon in high doses could be toxic,but a gram a day for adults seem like a reasonable dose..."

It does have avian DNA, however the virus is still H1N1.

This virus has all of the building blocks for a recombination creating a mutation to an H5N1 virus even before it reaches Asia.
