Only half of human bird flu cases reported: WHO/100 million people could die ???

[Guest guest]

OR...could be a few billion, pick a number. The WHO's Dr. Shigeru

Omi looks like a nice guy; But, he's a bureacrat and disinfo tool.

" If [a pandemic] happens, the consequences could be very serious, and the

magnitude of human casualties could be in the order of millions of deaths. One

hundred million is just one of so many possible figures. What's important is to

understand the serious potential consequences and prepare for them. " From

1.) does this revelation below mean that 'bird flu " doesn't have a 50%

morbidity?

2.) does this " hurt " WHO's feelings--folks not playing by their rules?

3.) 3000 died of MALARIA yesterday; how many of those cases were reported, I

wonder; of course, those deaths were programmed, expected.

4.) Dr Shigeru Omi's paycheck is from WHO; would his job have less meaning if

he " leveled " with us??

5.) In TIME interview last summer (www.time.com/time/asia/

magazine/article/0,136... 10 Questions

Dr. Shigeru Omi ) was hyping same disaster scenario; lightning has killed more

of us than Bird Flu since.

question#10 was--You've said that 100 million people could die in a worst-case

pandemic. Do you still believe that?

" Even if you control avian flu, the next one is coming.” Dr

Shigeru Omi quote ( this guy has found his eternal " niche " )

7.) Why do I have more confidence in DRDAY/ Cantwell

Horowitz/Tenpenny/Sepp/Rappoport/et.al than this bureaucrat?

Only half of human bird flu cases reported: WHO

Saturday May 6 2006 17:39 IST

AP

DANANG, VIETNAM: Only half of the human bird flu cases detected by countries

are being reported to the world health organisation within two weeks, a response

time that must be improved to head off a potential flu pandemic, a senior WHO

official said on Saturday.

Dr Shigeru Omi, the WHO's regional director for the western Pacific, said it's

estimated that two to three weeks is all countries would have to stamp out or at

least slow a pandemic flu strain after it began spreading. He said the first

move would be to identify cluster cases and report them to WHO.

International teams would then be deployed to investigate the site, the area

would be quarantined and antiviral treatment would be given. “All the steps have

to be done within two to three weeks. As of now... Even reporting the first

step, it takes sometimes more than two weeks for half of the cases,” Omi said at

the end of an Asia-Pacific meeting on bird flu in central Vietnam.

“There's a lot of challenges.” Omi said political commitment is now strong at

National levels across the region, but weaknesses still exist in getting the

message all the way down to villages.

He said that ordinary people would understand what to do if they see a number of

people or poultry coming down sick at once. Omi attended a meeting with

agriculture and health ministers representing the 21-member Asia-Pacific

economic cooperation. They endorsed a plan aimed at stamping out bird flu and

preparing for a potential flu pandemic on Friday.
