This week in the news: April 23, 2006:
WASHINGTON - Only half of Americans are confident their government will deal effectively with the bird flu if it reaches the U.S., and they want strong steps including human quarantine and closed schools if there's an outbreak in the population, according to a poll. In the poll, 52 percent said they were not confident the government would handle an outbreak properly; 48 percent were confident. Almost two-thirds expect U.S. birds to become infected.Fear is likely to spread if the virus is detected in the United States: Half of the people questioned said they thought the bird flu would kill them if they got it.
April 23, 2006: Plane Quarantined in Denmark Due to Bird Flu Scare: A Singapore Airlines aircraft was quarantined after the Captain warned the airport that a passenger was showing Bird Flu symptoms. 20 crew members and 275 passengers including the 31 year old Swedish woman showing the symptoms were directed to an isolated area in Kastrup airport. After a medical team examined the woman, she was found to be suffering from an upset stomach. This was the second scare in Denmark this week regarding the deadly H5N1 bird flu virus.
COMMENTARY BY DR. TENPENNY:
EDUCATION NEEDED!
People need to be informed that to date, THOUSANDS have been exposed to and have experienced H5N1.....and have been asymptomatic. The government will capitalize on using FEAR to promote quarantine and FEAR to promote widespread use of a vaccine that will be both toxic and ineffective. How many will be detained under the "threat" that they "might" be contagious?
