Scientists in the medical profession unanimously agree that another influenza pandemic is inevitable and possibly imminent! (This could affect every country in the world)

Are you prepared to survive a deadly bird flu pandemic? Probably not and neither is anyone else in the UK. Why? Because you don't believe it will ever happen, and yet you've seen the images on TV, listened to the reports on the news and read the headlines in the press. Let's face it, all over the world people are dying from bird flu.

The question is, will the H5N1 virus mutate to humans? By the time you find out it may be too late, you just cannot afford to be complacent. It may have already happened in the UK.

Are you really willing to take that chance with one of the deadliest killers known to man?

Is History is About to be Repeated?

During 1918 and 1919 around 50 million people from all over the world died during a pandemic, which was given the name Spanish Flu. At first, the medical profession thought it was some kind of respiratory disease, as victims drowned in their own fluid and blood. But now we know it was a form of bird flu, which had mutated to humans. It was a variant strain of H1N1.

Today, the world is faced with a more aggressive strain of bird flu known as H5N1, which if it mutates to humans, has the potential to kill hundreds of millions of people worldwide.

Scientists and medical experts are continually monitoring worldwide outbreaks of H5N1, and round the clock medical laboratory testing is under way. It's now been confirmed, that of all the strains of avian flu known, H5N1 poses the greatest threat to human health.

During the pandemic of 1918-1919, more than 150,000 people died in the UK of bird flu infection. Health experts say that a human transferable form of the H5N1 virus could kill between 100,000 and 150,000 people in the UK within just 2 months.

Human bird flu victims to be buried in 'plague pits'

"Scientists predict that as many as 320,000 might die in Britain" As reported in The Sunday Times April 2 2006

And if left uncontrolled, could wipe out half the world’s population.

The incubation period is known to be about 3-5 days. Anyone infected with a human form of H5N1 could pass the virus to others during this time without realising they have the infection. Anyone infected with a human strain of H5N1 could spread the virus by sneezing, coughing or by bodily contact such as a handshake.

There are no effective vaccines available to treat a human form of H5N1, and it would take many months to create any type of vaccine capable of keeping the virus at bay. Even then it could only be made available to a very small selection of the general public.

The current H5N1 bird flu virus could mutate at any time and may already have. No one is immune from bird flu. One of the most deadly viruses known to man.

Why the UK is HIGH Risk

Migratory birds such as wild ducks, swans and geese can carry the viruses, often without any symptoms of illness, and show the greatest resistance to infection. There have been a number of confirmed cases of infection in ducks, geese and swans in Asia, Europe and Africa.

Britain plays host to millions of migratory birds each year, any of which could be carrying the potentially fatal H5N1 strain.

The UK is rated as no.9 of the top 25 countries most at risk from a pandemic. But the real problem doesn’t lie with the ‘at risk’ factor. The potential rate at which the disease might spread is much more of a concern.

There are many factors which make the UK the world’s no.1 country for spreading any human form of the disease. Foreign tourism, travel and densely populated cities and urban areas all add up to the UK being a ticking time bomb.

It’s impossible to screen every single visitor to our shores for a possible Avian flu infection, and with more than 30 million visitors annually, the likelihood of one infected person arriving in the UK is extremely high.

When you consider also, the number of UK citizens travelling abroad each year, which totalled more than 68 million journeys in 2006, the possibility of someone bringing in an infection becomes a realistic probability.

When you take into account all the available information relating to bird migration and human travel to and from the UK, the probability of a deadly bird flu virus outbreak is assured. The only question is not when but where next? It could just as easily be your village, your town or your city.

In the UK, the very first case of H5N1 bird flu was detected in a wild swan, discovered in a harbour in Fife, Scotland. It had flown in from an infected country in Europe, bringing with it the fear that many more will follow. And with many bird sanctuaries situated around the country, it wouldn’t take very long for an infection to spread unchecked throughout the whole wild bird population.

Now, 2,600 turkeys in Suffolk have died from the infection and a further 160,000 have been slaughtered in an effort by DEFRA to halt any possible spread of infection.

Scientists have been dreading this news because it could already be too late to contain the virus. Professor Neil Ferguson, who led a team investigating the disease said:

"What can we do if it hits our shores? We couldn't stop it. There would be a constant number of new cases and we would be overwhelmed very rapidly."

How Would the UK Cope Under Pressure?

You just have to look at how we cope with normal problems such as extreme weather conditions to find the answer. With just 50mm (2") of snowfall, the country’s highways system grinds to a halt. A few wet autumn leaves on the lines and the railways come to a standstill. A week of heavy rain and many parts of the country is under feet of water. Six months of dry weather and we’re experiencing the worst drought for decades.

If we can’t prepare to deal with a few natural events, which occur annually, what hope do we have of coping with such a catastrophe?

Could our health service cope? No. No way! As you're probably aware, the NHS is already well overstretched beyond its limits both financially and in terms of staffing. Every Accident and Emergency ward in the country would be in turmoil as staff try to fend off desperate infected victims.

Paramedic vehicles would become the target of ruthless thugs, looking for a quick bird flu fix. Criminals will seize the opportunity to make money from stolen vaccines, even if they are totally useless. Worse still, the criminal element will seize on the opportunity to capitalise on the crisis by producing and selling all manner of useless 'cures' to the eager masses.

Your local doctor’s surgery would be besieged with the sick, the dying and people who think they’re sick and dying. Not to mention the thugs who'll stop at nothing to get their hands on any so called 'cures' which could make them a few quid to buy their next heroin fix.

The government will be telling us to stay calm, while they mobilise the security forces to protect those considered valuable hierarchy and most worthy of saving. If by this time a vaccine is available, there will not be enough for everyone, so who will decide who gets it first? And who should get it first?

Government officials? Emergency services staff? The forces? Celebrities? The rich and famous? Someone has probably already drawn up a list. But the likelihood is, your name won’t be on that list. When people realise that they have a very good chance of being infected with a lethal strain of bird flu and absolutely no hope of being cured, the inevitable will happen.

Should We Prepare for the Worst?

Now that another outbreak of H5N1 bird flu has been confirmed in the UK, everyone needs to be on their guard. Don’t be misled by the government telling you it’s an isolated case and they have everything under control. As usual, they'll tell us there's no reason to panic!

But you can’t trust the government. Remember BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy) or Mad Cow Disease as it was more commonly known?

Can you remember government ministers being interviewed on TV and telling us beef was perfectly safe to eat? If it was, why did the EU ban the import of British beef for 10 years? We've yet to see the result of that legacy!

Even a single confirmed outbreak of H5N1 bird flu in the UK is worrying. You should know that this could be the beginning of a long and perilous era, in which your sole duty to yourself and your family is to survive. The very least you should do is take this threat seriously.

Have any of your work colleagues recently returned from a holiday in an affected country? Listen carefully for people complaining about aches and pains and look out for people sneezing and coughing. Anyone could be harbouring and growing a mutated strain of H5N1 within their body at any time. Just be aware and be alert!

Very soon, you might want to think about avoiding areas where people might tightly congregate, like the supermarket, churches, post office, pubs and clubs, cafes and restaurants. Think about it! The person standing next to you could be infected.

Prepare to Survive - Prepare an Action Plan

Should H5N1 bird flu mutate to humans and a single case of human to human infection be confirmed, you’ll need to hurriedly put together an action plan. The incubation period for the virus is between 3 and 5 days, so you won’t have much time.

Your action plan could involve you staying indoors for some considerable time (3-6 months), so you’ll need food and provisions for each person living in the house. If you leave this to the last minute you will not be able to stock up and you’ll expose yourself to unnecessary risk.

You know there has only to be a hint of something like a petrol shortage and the pumps are dry within hours! Such is the way we are.

What no vaccines?

Despite what you may have heard, there are no vaccines and there is no cure. A brand new vaccine will need to be developed to cure infected humans and control further spread. But this can’t be done until a human passes the virus to another human, and by this time it could already be too late for most of us.

The only medication that offers any slight glimmer of hope against infection is Tamiflu. You'll need to take 2 a day for 5 days. But worldwide stocks are running out fast. You need to know where you can get some right now. Because there isn't anything else!

Any effective vaccine will be slow to arrive and there will not be nearly enough for everyone. When the population realises that they face certain death if infected, they will react with predictable hostility.

Petrol stations will see large queues of motorists, as we did when there was a threat of shortage due to road transport companies' industrial action, brought on by searing price increases. As petrol station queues are reported in the media, more people will join them and supplies will soon run out. Those unfortunate enough to have not filled up their tanks, will be feeling some malice against those who have. Well wouldn't you?

Things Could Get Very Ugly!

The media’s attention will focus on this and politicians will try to calm the situation by telling us they have everything under control. In the meantime, all police leave will be cancelled and there will be a heavy police presence on our streets. The army will be preparing to intervene should the situation become ugly, with possible scenes of rioting and looting on a grand scale.

The criminal element will be very active, taking advantage of food and fuel shortages. There will be a noted increase in street muggings and aggravated burglary. The human survival instinct will be kicking in. No one can deny that this could happen.

As news of more confirmed deaths are reported, every single person will be a suspected carrier of the disease. Work colleagues, room mates and even your own friends and family. The person in the queue in front or behind you in the supermarket could be infected. Your next door neighbour could be infected. Any of your relatives could be infected.

A wave of panic will slowly but surely wash over the entire nation.

Hospitals and doctor’s surgeries will first be besieged by sick and dying people, and then by people in panic, who at this stage will be quite prepared to kill for a dose of vaccine. Eventually hospitals will become fortresses with armed security posted at every entrance and exit.

City centres will become no-go areas as young and old alike run pitched battles with the police and army. All around will be broken glass from shop front windows, overturned cars and fires burning uncontrollably at every turn. The fire service, protected by soldiers, will be stretched beyond all limits and at this stage the country will be heading towards martial law.

By this time, electricity and gas supplies will have been cut as staff fail to report for work. Hospitals will be relying on emergency generators to power only essential life-saving equipment. When all these events take place, you can only hope and pray for the return of some form of normality, which in any event will be quite some time coming.

There's No Cure - You're On Your Own

It’s hard to imagine right now, but the worst case scenario has to be imagined in order to prepare for the worst. Should a pandemic strike, major civil unrest culminating in riots, looting and murder are very real prospects. The only safe place will be inside your own home.

With no hope of a cure for H5N1 bird flu, everyone is going to be very much on their own. Even if all the world's flu vaccine manufacturers focused their efforts in making such vaccines for H5N1, they could only make a few hundred million doses in a year, which won't go very far in a world of 6.4 billion people.

Should the H5N1 bird flu get a grip on humanity, the consequences will be devastating. It would take at least a decade for the world to fully recover from such a pandemic, which would be documented as the most horrendous loss of life in human history.

Remember, during an outbreak you can’t expect any help from the government or local authorities. Everyone will be on their own…it’s every man for himself.

Bird flu has so far accounted for the deaths of millions of poultry in Asia, Europe and Africa.

To date there have been reports of over 271 human infections and more than 165 fatalities...and these are just the ones that we know of. More alarmingly, countries like China and North Korea are accused of not reporting the true figures. Some scientists estimate that there could be as many as 300 human infections in China alone.

Numerous wild birds and mammals including domestic cats and dogs have also died
