Right now, as long as we keep the infected Chickens off of the planes, everything is cool. |

good i need the time. hope they don't try to sneak on, disguised as a feather pillow. right now if i were a chicken in Turkey i'd be on a plane. Funny how this recent blow up of reported cases is in the name of a country that is a bird, Turkey. Does God have a sense of humor? also Van is about 15 miles from the suspected resting place of Noas Ark. spooky. but....don't get me started I'm surrounded by christians waiting for the rapture. they welcome the end of the world. You cannot talk BF to them without heading in that direction. "The Latter Days". None of them are preped like us heatherns.

Just to keep you on your toes, Corn, the fundamentalist Christians do
like to point out that in the Later Days, one of the early judgments of
God against the Earth will be Plague and Pestilence that kills one
fourth of the earth's population.
Shoot, dude, this just might be it. Maybe those Old & New Testament prophets in the older books of the Bible and the Revelation of John are right on. If so, who is the AntiChrist? IF I read it right, the evil world leader has to be here for the final seven years of the earth to commence. All the Democratic Christians I know think the AntiChrist is Bush himself. All the Republican Christians I know think the AntiChrist will be a jew who is in a coming position of leadership in the European Common Market. I only see one that could qualify. He's in France. |

Joe, You got some STRANGE democrats & republicans out there on the left coast. And it's worrisome that you used the "all" qualifier. Now, everyone knows the antichrist is that dinosaur Barney. |

I hate to ruffle your feathers, but I think those books you are reading were written when man was still swinging from vines.

Actually the cow pic was taken the morning they died in the Ukraine. I am 100% convinced it was Sichuan Sheet in one of its many brushfire outbreaks. Turkey is just another brushfire. The cows at four different sites in the Ukraine were healthy one morning and dead the next. There has been a coverup in that country and they have never identified what happened. From what I read, they just moved the cows inside of barns to keep them away from what was killing them. |

There are no published studies on the feather mite of one proven avian H5N1 influenza vector, as it relates to its capacity to either ingest or harbor H5N1. Does this mite have the capacity to vector an influenza virus, even mechanically? West Nile virus arrived at the airport in Hawaii by having been located in the plane's landing gear bay. The virus indeed, survived in the vector. After having been frozen by altitude, the mosquito vectors of West Nile likely revived and flew away in search of a blood meal. It seems correct to state that H5N1 is destroyed at approximately158 degrees. See Acarology for 'influenza and ice.' Lastly, one of the the first cases of Mycobacterium ulcerans (Buruli ulcer) reported in the U.S. arrived in New York likely from the muddy boots of a dam construction worker returning from the Ivory Coast. Are there any published studies that show survival times of influenza viruses in clay? Since this primal material is and has been used in therapy of Buruli ulcer, and since proteins behave in intriguing ways on this type of substrate, most virologists should likely grasp the significance of this possibility. |
