Potential Danger... Pandemic... After the killer quake comes a new kind of scare, the Avian Flu commonly known as the bird flu virus. European countries now on panic with the incoming flights in thousands of migratory birds from Asia as winter season sets near. A latest case of positive identification of the H5N1 bird flu strain in Romania and Turkey plus the inflicted parrot in UK, drew much attention on neighboring borders including, Hungary, Germany Greece, and its new destination target, regional parts of Africa. Birds have to be quarantine and be subjected for culling in thousand numbers to contain the strain from spreading out to poultry and all domesticated fowls and pet birds. The coming weeks opens the season for migration of birds from Central Asia. Poultry have to be put on their respective stalls to avoid physical contact with the coming of the potential carriers of avian influenza strain. Pharmaceutical laboratories in quick response, shift on high scale production of anti-flu vaccine and drug medications in anticipation of a pandemic. This takes on once the mutation of the deadly strain contagiously leap on, from birds to humans, and then a human to human transfer. Health Ministers and official urges member state of the European Union"to effectively coordinate action against the outbreak of Avian flu". The top priority agenda in the emergency meeting of the European Union Foreign Ministers in Luxembourg is to act swiftly on this crisis. The Ministers appeal for calm and assure them that every effort is being done to ensure public health safety. Back here in Southeast Asia, We have to be in formed and be given attention by the WHO (World Health Organization), this is to have a close case to case study and monitoring of the birds movement within the region for we are the potential breeding ground of this virus strain. A possible pandemic once the mutation reach up to its dangerous affliction level, is on its leap bound stage. Our own natural savior might be this factor of having a tropical climate, let's hope that our warm temperature slows down the mutation process of the virus, compared to the coming cold winters in Europe. Be Aware! "Keep ourselves and our surroundings clean and healthy". Source**DW-WORLD DE pic** H5N1 (Avian Flu Strain)

hopefully more people become concerned on a general public level, I've too mentioned this on various blogs, and people seem to have so little interest or response, but this is something that is real. Many here are worried about simple fears of choosing the wrong mate, when this could take away any mate, whether people consider them the wrong one or the right one. I too think mate selection would be so much less difficult if we were all less selfish in what we really do in judging one another, based on either a picture, or a few words typed into this computer, for some reason some are looking for something instant, and some are so cynical they could not recogonize a mate if they stood before them, and some clig to things that are gone and is not comming back, and some cling to youthful hindshit views of what they did not appreciate when they were in the reality of the youthful moments. and it's all self deluding, and basically got millions of us.. single, talking about wanting someone .. when we are here, it's a simple matter of choosing, and makeing a choice that one is honest in choosing. All the criterias are nothing more than whimsical selfishness masquarading as being special or expecting something beyond reality becuse of physical looks or shapes or some material assets. and in a flash, this birds flu can change all of that, as can other nature disasters, then people will be glad to see the hearts of others without all their vain delusions of expecting some perfect mate, and talking about soul mate, we are all soul mates, in and thru the spirit that sustains us. it's quite amaizng how less of instinctive intellegence we become, when we try to become so worldly and socially smart.. and we certainly have enough lonely people to prove that point. in the magazines, a million questions about nothing, when it's either you want to be with someone or you don't. and if you want it true enough then one will open their moth and thak and not hide within and behind fears with a millions assumpitons. sure they get ticked at me cause, I'm talking about cutting thru the bullshit..and actually living and loving and trying to make what of life we have be something that is shared and apreciated.. beyond all this vain and self serving expectations and self crippling fears..
