Title: Killer Flu Post by: alaric on March 28, 2003, 02:44:00 am Is anybody else following this Killer Flu that started in China a while back? It's starting to get a little scary.
Here are some links for those who haven't been following the story: http://www.canoe.ca/TorontoNews/ts.ts-03-27-0002.html http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/2892837.stm http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A37343-2003Mar27.html Title: Re:Killer Flu Post by: (SEALs) one on March 28, 2003, 02:50:17 am Yeah I've heard of that flu, its kind of like pnemounia and cases have been found in Europe, Canada, and Asia.
We need a cure soon or it'll spread... Title: Re:Killer Flu Post by: kami on March 28, 2003, 01:20:12 pm I read that it's currently only widespread in the Hanoi area, Hong Kong, and the southern chinese provinces, 51 died already and around 1300 sick, 4% mortality rate... pretty scary, hope they get control of it soon.

Title: Re:Killer Flu Post by: Mattster on March 29, 2003, 06:12:14 pm Now that they know what it is, they will make a vaccine. Its a variation of the common cold. It doesn't spread as fast as the common cold, just dont get into direct contact with someone that has it and you will be fine. And it was in Hong Kong, China that it started.
Title: Re:Killer Flu Post by: (SEALs) one on March 30, 2003, 01:49:36 am So...Mattster how long did it take to know that there was a killer flu out.
And theres a mistake in your reply Mattster. The epidemic didn't start in Hong Kong, it started in mainland china in like the shaoding province. I dunno how to spell it, but its something like that. one Title: Re:Killer Flu Post by: Mattster on March 30, 2003, 05:35:08 pm One I heard it on the radio.
Title: Re:Killer Flu Post by: (SEALs) one on March 30, 2003, 11:47:44 pm errr...ok
Title: Re:Killer Flu Post by: kami on April 02, 2003, 07:57:24 pm Heh, no, it was first discovered outside of Hong Kong in a neighbouring chinese province...
