I just found out that Wallace and Gromit opens in HK this weekend. Though we probably won't go see it--wait until it's out on DVD. Along with Hitchhiker's guide.

yes, admiralDewey, it's easy to imagine that those were the exact sentiments of the last guy who died from SARS.

SARS isn't related to eating eggs. More like eating civit cats.

crazyjacky_seilchensmiley1.gif ....forthcoming chicken SARS report :

SARS poultry pandemic (severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)) originated in southern China, the mainland's chicken-farming hub. As a result, poulty exports have been particularly badly hit.

Qu Shuli, of Beijing, used to sell at least 17,000 eggs every day before the SARS outbreak. "Then no one ever asked for them. It was like they were buried alive."

-----------------------------

The recent tragic incident in the Netherlands, where chicken flu destroyed 15 million chickens and also turned out lethal for a veterinarian, who died from it.

...................................

The H5N1 virus is a type of avian influenza virus. It is called that because the disease is primarily found in birds. Poultry - chicken, ducks, geese and other birds that are part of our diet - can be infected with the virus.

Scientists believed it was impossible for humans to catch the Avian bird flu, but the flu virus is very good at adapting to infect new hosts. A small outbreak in Hong Kong in 1997 announced that the Avian Influenza A virus has made the necessary changes to infect humans.

So far, the disease has been spread from infected poultry to humans and there does not seem to be a big threat of humans passing it on to other humans yet, but that can change if the virus changes.

Michelle, can it be that SARS is the generic term for all and any Asian Poultry Flu virus strain?

Posted

No, SARS is a specific respiratory syndrome that has been linked to eating civit (SP? civet?) cats in southern China.

The H5N1 is the so-called "bird flu" that is running through Indonesia, Cambodia and Vietnam and has had flare-ups in China (HK) recently.

However, as far as I know, there is no relationship between SARS and H5N1. That said, I am nowhere near being an expert on the subject!

And is the Hong Kong Flu also in the category of producing same like symptons like SARS and H5N1 bird flu ?

lookhere, you Hong Kong living beloved sister of mine in the Faith.... I am very much against you getting any of such viruses. Please take precautions! Look at poultry meat there in Asia where you are as a bottle of Vodka.

Lay-off-it!

Or soak the poultry in the vodka, that should kill everything.

Ha ha ha!

Since I am vegetarian, I don't eat chicken meat (though we spent part of the summer on a farm surrounded by poultry--fortunately, the H5N1 doesn't seem to be in NE China yet!). I do bake with eggs, though, which does give me some pause. I'm not sure what the risk is of using eggs . . .

Hong Kong flu, I don't know. H5N1 was here several years ago, as was SARS (after it jumped the border after PRC government tried to cover it up!). The flu that goes around the world every year originates in this area of the world.

Speaking of which, I need to get my 6 y/o to get his flu shot, as recommended for asthmatic patients . . . .

I just saw a bit on the evening national news about the flu pandemic of 1918. Researchers were able to determine that that flu was in fact a bird flu. Only this bird flu jumped right from the bird to humans without going through some other animal. Thus no one had immunity. They were able to kill that strain with the drug said to be the only one effective against todays bird flu; so the recommendation is for the government to get on the ball and make vaccines

Mrs. Gray responds:

Perhaps it's time for a more appropriate thread title.

Liars and personas bore you, you say?

... welcome to ClubAdventist's sub-club.

There are more like-minded (than we three who have outed) on this subject which can possibly be imagined.

Shall we apply for a ClubA private room to meet in for our sub-club anti-liars and personas get-to-gether?

Why? The only thread on the entire site that I don't have to think first about whether what I'm posting will be off topic or not. It doesn't matter if anyone responds or not, and the response can be on a tangent without being reined in or criticized.

But, in the intent of humoring the persona, why?

There are lots of half minute clips available.I saw the front-cover pics but I couldn't view any of them, alas!

Those of you off-shore Forum members might let us know if also can't view any of them.

Shout to off-shore folk….

Click on up top of the link page Google Video Preferences

"Local TV listings are only available for locations in the U.S.

….you can ignore this setting, or leave it set to 94043 (Mountain View, California, home of Google)."

My Question...

any of the random clips belong to any member of ClubA?

Margaret Gray responds:

Since some people have taken offense at the various appelations given them in Mrs. Gray's greetings, such as "Dear person," "Dear contemporaries," etc., Mrs. Gray has decided to simplify by stating that she simply responds. It also gives her posts an almost catechetical vibe which is quite remarkable.

Margaret Gray responds again:

Mrs. Gray is always amused to see that her most vocal critics participate in almost all of her threads. Which means that they are not critics, but instead, are a cheering squad. It is a wonderful thing.

Yes! And, thank you for participating once again in the OFF TOPIC thread, persona!
