I have to disagree with you Kilt-3, while H7N9 has high mortality in humans and is well entrenched in China's bird population it is not able to sustain H2H transmission yet, although this could change thorough re-assortment with other corona types.

SARS, MERS, EBOLA are also important in one way or another, you need to consider the wider scope of events to get a clearer picture.

As for this Flu season you're right to be concerned at the developing situation as it's just a matter of time, it maybe this season or the next but its definitely coming.

I think we are going to see a 3 prong Pandemic, Kilt. As in multiple viruses or prions co-infecting people at the same time. As the new generation have little immunity to many things us older people were vaccinated for, you may see Cholera, Smallpox, even a new version of Polio that hit the Ukraine surface again.

Perhaps the name of this site is simply misleading and no longer relevant but because it is a recognisable brand there is no point in changing it. I think it's a good thing that this site covers all infectious diseases and doesn't limit itself to the narrow band that is flu. It also makes it a more interesting site as there's something new most days.
Those who got it wrong, for whatever reason, may feel defensive and retrench into a position that doesn’t accord with the facts.

Yes this site is about flu but Albert has made sure that all viruses and bacteria that can kill all of us is made front and center.

We will not know until "IT" hits humans and starts killing us in droves. Does not matter what "IT" is but I can tell you this AFT is the first place I will come to and sort out what is really happening and look for information and support.

As people come to this site they too will see the truth of it and will keep coming back or will be poorer for it if they do not come back.

Ebola was never going to be a problem - it was in 4 countries but those countries have certain "funeral practices" that when I mentioned them for discussion I was called a racist and banned for telling the truth.

It is the Flu and nothing else that is the Number 1 danger to humanity. Just the Flu.

It has not gone H2H but it has in clusters gone H2H and those clusters are blind and get longer and longer before stopping.

Then when a H2H cluster gets to 100 people and then stops, its time to lock the gate because the Pandemic will start within days.

People are getting the H5N1 and the H7N9 and all it takes is for them to also contract the Human Flu so they mutate by shift rather than drift.

But the problem is both the H5N1 and H7N9 have drift mutated and now - RIGHT NOW all H5N1 needs do is make 1 more genetic tweak and its a Human virus.

The H7N9 just need 3 genetic tweaks and they are Human viruses.

Every time a human is infected by the flu - these changed take place.

The flu pandemic is imminent

In my opinion (and it is just an opinion) here is where all threats and prepping are covered.  Because flu is the most probable gigantic killer, flu gets the name.  But advice on bunker-building, bug-out-bags, skinning-a-deer and even how to deal with zombies, mutant killer butterflies or an alien invasion belong here too.  Ok, so they are far smaller risks, but ebola did show us how the profoundly unexpected can emerge from left field.

BREAKING NEWS ***** Probable Nosocomial Transmission Of H7N9 In China*****

If true this could be a big development, evidence of probable transmission of bird flu virus between two unrelated individuals is a worrying development.

This is worthy of it's own post - I hope you don't mind if I move the link. Not a member yet?
