The Mystery Flu Plague In Ukraine

What in the world is happening in Ukraine? That is the question on the mind of a lot of people tonight. Well over 1 million people have been sickened by this mystery flu plague in Ukraine, and so far the WHO has been very evasive when answering questions about this illness.

So what is really going on?

Well, we have done quite a bit of digging, and we have posted an extensive article on the situation in Ukraine entitled "Parainfluenza? 1918 Spanish Flu? A Virulent Mutation Of H1N1 Swine Flu? The Mystery Ukraine Plague Continues To Spread As Questions Grow" on one of our new websites. In that article you will find quotes such as the following from health authorities on the ground in Ukraine.....

The Ukraine Ministry of Health.....

The symptoms are observed at different stages of disease - a fever with a temperature over 38 C, cough, respiratory disorders. When cough was characterized by negligible allocation phlegm or dry unproductive cough with blotches of blood. All the patients come to hospital on average by 3-7 days of onset, were in serious condition. Period of time from onset to death averaged from 4 to 7 days. In all patients during a hospital for signs of respiratory insufficiency of various degrees, which quickly rose and manifested accelerated respiration rate, shortness of breath and effectiveness of independent breathing. X-ray studies were performed on 1-2 day hospitalization. Most patients experienced a double-headed particles of lower lung lesion, followed by a trend towards total destruction.

Ukrainian Professor Viktor Bachinsky.....

"The virus, which causes death, is very aggressive, it does not strike the trachea, but immediately gets into the lungs and causes heavy swelling and solid hemorrhage. Mixed types of parainfluenza and influenza A/N1N1 lead to this state. This is a very toxic strain, which has not yet answered to the treatment of the Ministry of Health."

An anonymous doctor in Western Ukraine.....

"We have carried out post mortems on two victims and found their lungs are as black as charcoal. They look like they have been burned. It’s terrifying."

We very much encourage you to check out our article on the Ukraine plague on our new website entitled The End Of The World. It will feature a lot of stories that are similar to the ones that you find here, so if you are enjoying this blog, then you will really enjoy our new website as well.

How Did IBM Know That There Was "A 100% Chance That A Pandemic Will Occur Within the Next 5 Years" In 2006?

A newly discovered document proves that IBM told its senior management in France back in 2006 that there was a 100 percent chance that a pandemic would occur within the next five years. The document called "Services & Global Procurement pan IOT Europe, Pandemic Plan Overview" was distributed to senior level IBM management in France in 2006. Not only does this document contain the shocking declaration that there was "a 100% chance that a Pandemic will occur within the next 5 years", it also states that the pandemic would last for 12 weeks and that a "2nd wave" would hit 3 or 4 months after that.

Was IBM given advance notice that a flu pandemic was to come? How could they boldly declare a 100% chance that anything would happen, much less a pandemic? This very disturbing IBM document is posted below.....

U.S. Military Mandatory Swine Flu Vaccinations To Begin Next Week - Are You Next?

Many Americans would be horrified at the prospect of mandatory swine flu vaccinations, but for all U.S. military personnel there is no choice in the matter. They are being required to take the swine flu vaccine - whether it is safe or not. In fact, it was announced today that members of the U.S. military will begin to receive their mandatory swine flu shots in the next week to ten days.

Air Force General Gene Renuart, the head of U.S. Northern Command, was quite clear when he described how he feels about the swine flu vaccine: "Because I can compel people to get the shots, larger numbers will have the vaccine."

Of course it has been well documented that U.S. military personnel have been used as guinea pigs for experimental vaccines for years and years, but for the U.S. military to recklessly inject all of their personnel with an untested, potentially unsafe vaccine - let's just say that it raises some major red flags.

There are already some very disturbing rumors of a whole ship that reportedly got sick and had to be quarantined after receiving an experimental flu vaccine.....



But it's not just the American military that is being faced with mandatory swine flu vaccinations. Hundreds of thousands of health care workers around the United States are also being forced to take the potentially dangerous vaccine.....

-A new regulation took effect on August 13th that mandates that every single health care worker in the state of New York must take the swine flu vaccine. Penalties for health care institutions that violate this regulation include fines of up to two thousand dollars for the first offense and fines of up to five thousand dollars for subsequent violations. Some nurses and other health care workers in New York are so outraged that they have started to hold protest marches and rallies.

-The Hospital Corporation of America (the largest health care chain in the U.S.) has announced that it is requiring all of their approximately 120,000 employees in 163 hospitals and 112 outpatient clinics to take the seasonal flu vaccine, and they are strongly considering making the swine flu vaccine mandatory as well once they receive more information about its availability.

-Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center has announced that they will require all faculty, staff, students, post-doctoral trainees and volunteers at that hospital to receive the H1N1 swine flu vaccine.

So will the swine flu vaccine become mandatory for even more Americans?

Probably?

So what will you do if the swine flu vaccine becomes mandatory in your school or workplace?

Will you take it?

A lot of Americans are going to be faced with some very tough decisions.

You see, it may seem like taking the shot is the easy thing to do, but the reality is that because of the way the laws are, if you take the swine flu vaccine and something goes terribly wrong you are going to be out of luck. Nobody is going to help you and nobody is going to compensate you for your injury or your death.

Or have we all forgotten what happened in the 1970s? It has been well documented that many more people died or were crippled from the swine flu vaccine than from the swine flu itself. It got so bad that they pulled the swine flu vaccine off the market.

Who says that won't happen again? If you do a Google search for "vaccine dangers" or "vaccine deaths" you will get thousands of articles.

Are you willing to take that chance.

It's something to think about.

Will Swine Flu Vaccinations Be Voluntary Or Mandatory?

Will swine flu vaccinations be voluntary or mandatory? Well, the truth is that the answer is not the same for everyone. Just today, Barack Obama said that his administration will only "strongly recommend" that all American citizens take the swine flu vaccine. So for now the U.S. government is not going to make the swine flu vaccine mandatory for everyone. Unfortunately, however, some Americans are being faced with mandatory swine flu vaccinations by their employers as a requirement to keep their jobs.

In New York state, new regulations will require anyone who works in a hospital or a health care facility to get a swine flu shot. Those who refuse will be fired.

According to New York state health department spokeswoman Claire Pospisil, this disturbing new regulation, which officially took effect on August 13th, will require all hospitals and health care facilities to provide evidence that all of their workers are vaccinated for the swine flu. Penalties for institutions that violate these regulations include fines of 2,000 dollars for the first offense and up to 5,000 dollars for subsequent offenses.

Employees at a hospital in Charleston, West Virginia are facing a slightly different situation. They are not being required to get the swine flu vaccine yet, but officials there are requiring them to get the seasonal flu shot this year as a condition for keeping their jobs.

What would you do if you were faced with such a choice?

Would you take a vaccine that you did not want in order to keep your job?

In France, the citizens are not even going to have the luxury of such a choice apparently.

A shocking internal French government document has revealed the intention of the French government to vaccinate every resident of France for the swine flu without exception. The type of program described in the document more closely resembles a military campaign than a health program, and if you can read French you may be very interested in looking over the original document which you can find here:

http://www.sante-jeunesse-sports.gouv.fr/IMG/pdf/Circulaire_vaccination_090824.pdf

But there is quite a bit to be concerned about in the United States as well. In the state of Massachusetts, "Pandemic Response Bill" 2028 would impose fines of up to $1000 a day and up to thirty days in jail for refusing to submit to health authorities during a public health emergency. This bill has passed the state senate in Massachusetts and now the house is taking up the legislation. As news of this legislation has gotten out, opposition to it has grown dramatically, and there is hope that this insidious bill can still be stopped.

In any event, it is clear that health authorities and governments around the world are developing plans to try to vaccinate as many people as they can - even if it means more than a little arm twisting.

What do you all think about this? Are you concerned about this assault on individual liberty and freedom? Or are you okay with all of this? Feel free to post your thoughts in the comments area below.

The Frightening Agenda Of The International Swine Flu Conference

Last Friday, the first ever international swine flu conference wrapped up with very little fanfare. This conference held in the heart of Washington D.C. included some of the most prominent health officials from all over the globe, and the focus of the conference was on making plans for what many experts believe will be a major worldwide health crisis in the fall.

You would think that this would be very important news. A major international health conference about the biggest health story of the year certainly seems newsworthy to us.

But did you hear about this conference on the news?

Did the talking heads on television say anything about it?

Did this conference make any of the major newspapers?

Well, no.

But what WAS discussed at this international swine flu conference will shock many of you. The following are selected agenda bullet points that we pulled directly out of the conference agenda.....

*Mass Fatality Management Planning

*Business Continuity Planning

*Manage interruptions in food, fuel & essentials supply chains & establish stockpiles

*Effectively undertake mass vaccinations

*Enforce quarantines

*Protect police forces from falling ill & from being hurt in civil disturbances

*Control & diffuse social unrest & public disorder

*Anticipate interruptions in food, fuel and essentials supply chains & establish stockpiles

*Plan for 30-40 percent drop in labor force

A 30-40 percent drop in the labor force?

Mass vaccinations?

Forced quarantines?

Social unrest?

Mass fatalities?

Is this seriously what they are anticipating?

An excellent YouTube video by Jesse Woodrow examining the agenda of this meeting in detail is posted below.....



The truth is that global health authorities are preparing for a massive worldwide health emergency in the fall and winter. Perhaps now is a good time for all of us to start stocking up on some emergency food and supplies in case this things gets really bad.

Swine Flu Preparation Gets Serious

Health authorities in the United States and around the world are ramping up to wage an absolute war on the swine flu in the fall. While some are wondering why such massive preparations are needed for a disease that has only killed a few hundred people, others are wondering if government authorities know more than they are telling us.

As the WHO and the CDC continue to make stunning proclamations about the seriousness of the swine flu, the U.S. government is pulling out all the stops in order to get prepared. According to the Department of Defense, even the U.S. military plans to "assist" civilian authorities in the event of a significant outbreak of the H1N1 swine flu virus this fall.

Just how does the U.S. military plan to "assist" civilian authorities? Will they be involved with vaccinations? After all, the World Health Organization is recommending mandatory swine flu vaccinations be administered in almost 200 different countries.

And it looks like a swine flu vaccine will be available in the fall - tested or not.

Vaccine manufacturers apparently plan to rely on a U.S. emergency declaration to use experimental additives made by GlaxoSmithKline and Novartis in their swine flu vaccines that many health experts are describing as potentially very dangerous.

But governments around the world seem to be ignoring any potential danger to rushing a vaccine out. In fact, the U.S. government is looking for several thousand volunteers to start rolling up their sleeves for the first swine flu shot trials.

And in a misguided effort to vaccinate as many people as possible before the winter begins, many European governments are saying that they will "fast-track" the testing of a swine flu vaccine.

But is rushing an experimental vaccine out to the public wise?

If you think that it should be rushed out, perhaps you should read "The Truth About The Flu Shot" by Dr. Sherri Tenpenny:

http://drtenpenny.com/the_truth_about_the_flu_Shot.aspx

The reality is that vaccines are not nearly as safe as they are portrayed to be.

And the Washington Post has confirmed that the swine flu vaccine WILL contain mercury.

It is being recommended that kids get FOUR flu shots this fall. Are you certain that it is healthy for your kids to be shot full of mercury? If not, perhaps you should do some serious research.

In any event, health authorities around the world are clearly extremely concerned about this swine flu pandemic.

According to new estimates from the CDC, hundreds of thousands of Americans could die from the H1N1 swine flu over the next 2 years.

The World Health Organization is saying that the H1N1 pandemic is gaining speed. In fact, the WHO is estimating that 2 billion people will get the "swine flu" over the next 2 years.

That is approximately one-third of the people on earth.

Wow!

Some cities are taking their preparations to bizarre extremes.

For example, the Exeter City Council says that it is actually considering using the catacombs under the city to store the corpses of deceased swine flu victims if the pandemic worsens.

Now, are there rational things that the average person can do to prepare for this fall and winter?

Yes.

Some health experts are now claiming that Vitamin D is a "major weapon" against the swine flu. In fact, if you do some research there are a number of things you can do to boost your immune system, and there are a number of natural ways to fight the swine flu if you do end up catching it.

But perhaps the biggest danger is what will happen if this virus seriously mutates. For example, scientists are now starting to wonder what will happen when the H1N1 flu encounters the H5N1 flu.

Will it create a super flu?

Will it create a flu that is easily transmissible like H1N1 but that is super deadly like H5N1?

Nobody actually knows.

Make sure that you and your family are prepared for whatever happens.

Swine Flu Pandemic?

Reports of new swine flu outbreaks are coming in almost constantly now and the World Health Organization has raised the threat level from a Phase 3 Global Outbreak to Phase 4, which has never been done before. Meanwhile, scientists are completely puzzled how such a powerful strain that combines elements of swine flu, bird flu and human flu could have appeared seemingly out of nowhere.

So is this going to be the big one?

Is this the one that is going to kill millions of people?

It is too early to tell, but here is what we do know at this hour.....

First of all, this "swine flu" is not just run of the mill swine flu. It contains elements of the following.....

*Avian flu
*Human flu
*European swine flu
*Asian swine flu

Now how in the world did an incredibly strong combination of these viruses appear seemingly out of nowhere?

Scientists are baffled.

Meanwhile this "swine flu" is popping up all over the U.S. and Mexico.

In Mexico alone, there are already over 1600 suspected cases and 149 suspected deaths from the swine flu so far. Most public events have been canceled, and millions of Mexicans are hiding indoors in an attempt to escape the swine flu.

46 cases of the swine flu have been confirmed in the United States, and the CDC says that it is too late to contain the swine flu outbreak in the United States.

In fact, some public schools in Texas are being closed because of nearby swine flu cases.

These outbreaks in the U.S. and Mexico are already causing panic reactions from other parts of the world.

EU health commissioner Andorra Vassiliou has asked Europeans to postpone nonessential travel to the United States or Mexico. In addition, China has banned the import of hog and pork products from Mexico and parts of the United States.

Google actually has a great tool that you can use to track the spread of this swine flu. You can follow the progress of the swine flu on Google maps right here.

So what can we expect to see going forward?

The next few days are going to be key.

If only a few hundred people end up dying from this swine flu that is not that big of a deal. Hundreds of people die from many different causes every day.

But if this disease starts sweeping the globe and thousands of people start dying, then that could indicate that this IS the big one.

The reality is that we have been warning of a coming flu plague for quite some time.

What is even more disturbing is the possibility that this new flu may be engineered. We recently reported on the unlabeled bird flu/human flu mixture that Baxter International "accidently" sent out to other labs.

Why would our scientists mix these dangerous viruses together so recklessly? The CDC was mixing human flu and bird flu together as far back as 2004. This is incredibly dangerous to do. One mistake and a pandemic virus can be released that could kill millions of people.

So how many people will this "swine flu" virus kill?

Is this going to become a massive pandemic?

Nobody can say for certain yet, but it is getting frightening out there. Be sure to take the necessary precautions to keep your family safe.

Bird Flu Pandemic?

Scientists now believe that the bird flu is killing people more slowly. Do you think that is good news? It's not. In fact, scientists fear that by not killing people as quickly, the bird flu has a much better chance of becoming a pandemic that will kill millions because it gives the disease more time to spread before killing the host.

These days the topic of a potential bird flu pandemic is mainstream news. One major U.K. newspaper says that the recent outbreak of new human bird flu cases suggests that the danger of a pandemic is rising:

First the good news: bird flu is becoming less deadly. Now the bad: scientists fear that this is the very thing that could make the virus more able to cause a pandemic that would kill hundreds of millions of people.

Did you get that last part?

Hundreds of millions of people.

In fact, last year the U.K. government identified the bird flu as the biggest single threat facing the nation. The U.K. government's own estimate states that the bird flu has the potential to kill up to 750,000 U.K. citizens.

Some of the most troubling bird flu news has come out of Egypt recently. Three more human bird flu cases were reported there just last week. What is strange is that almost all of the recent cases there have been in children under the age of three.

The frightening thing is that these infections have been less deadly than usual. Normally the bird flu quickly kills over 50 percent of those infected. But every one of the Egyptians infected in 2009 are still alive.

That may sound like good news, but it is not. Victims that don't die or that die slowly are likely to spread the disease to many others. This could lead to a much, much higher death toll.

In fact, studies show that a potential bird flu pandemic that killed even 5 percent of those it infected could still cause hundreds of millions of deaths across the globe.

There are other disturbing signs that a bird flu pandemic may be approaching. The Austrian branch of U.S. vaccine maker Baxter is under close scrutiny by health officials for sending a mixture of H3N2 seasonal human flu and unlabelled H5N1 bird flu to other unsuspecting labs around Europe.

Fortunately, a lab in the Czech Republic that received one of these batches tested it on some ferrets. All of the ferrets died, which they were not supposed to do, so they alerted Baxter. You see, ferrets do not die from human H3N2 flu. Further testing confirmed that the sample which the lab in the Czech Republic received contained live H5N1 bird flu virus.

The big unanswered question is how in the world human H3N2 and avian H5N1 viruses somehow became co-mingled. Investigators are so far baffled as to how the company could have been so incredibly negligent as to have allowed human flu and bird flu to have gotten mixed together like that.

The reality is that an accidental release of a mixture of live H5N1 and H3N2 viruses to the public could have triggered a devastating pandemic.

How bad could things have gotten if this had gotten out into the public?

The Toronto Sun explains it this way:

While H5N1 doesn’t easily infect people, H3N2 viruses do. If someone exposed to a mixture of the two had been simultaneously infected with both strains, he or she could have served as an incubator for a hybrid virus able to transmit easily to and among people.

Some are even suggesting that Baxter may have had a profit motive in all of this. If bird flu did start spreading among humans, it would create an overnight demand for bird flu vaccines which Baxter makes. The profits that Baxter International would reap during such a panic would be enormous.

If the scientific community is not more careful they might end up being the ones unleashing a bird flu pandemic by accident. For example, nine health workers are on trial in northern Poland for testing a bird flu vaccine on nearly 200 poor and homeless patients without their knowledge. The allegations state that these health workers told their patients that they were being vaccinated against ordinary seasonal flu. Many of the patients ended up dying from the bird flu.

Now who in the world would be stupid enough to infect almost 200 poor and homeless people and let them wander around and pass it to others?

Disturbing reports of bird flu activity have been popping up all across the globe recently, and the reality is that if H5N1 does transition into a form that is easily transmissible from human to human then we will have a problem of unimaginable proportions on our hands.

You better get ready.

Deadly Bird Flu/Human Flu Mixture Sent To Other Labs By Accident

Meanwhile, there have been 4 more human deaths from the bird flu in Indonesia. Disturbing reports of bird flu activity have been popping up all over the world recently, and the reality is that if H5N1 does transition into a form that is easily transmissible from human to human then we will have a problem of unimaginable proportions on our hands.

Panasonic Sends Families Home To Avoid Bird Flu Pandemic

Do some corporations have inside knowledge that a bird flu pandemic is coming? Panasonic Corporation has taken the extraordinary step of ordering Japanese employees in some foreign countries to send their families home to Japan in preparation for a potential bird flu pandemic.

Let that sink in for a moment.

A major Japanese corporation is ordering their employees to send their families back to Japan because they believe that there is a very real possibility that a bird flu pandemic is about to break out.

Wow.

A Panasonic spokesperson said that family members of employees in parts of Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Russia and Latin America will fly back to Japan by the end of September.

The spokesperson said that they decided to do this "well ahead of possible confusion at the outbreak of a global pandemic."

Do they know something that we don't?

We have previously reported on the outbreaks of bird flu that have been popping up all over Asia lately.

Instead of going away, the bird flu seems to be getting worse than ever.

The WHO has warned that when the bird flu does become a pandemic, millions upon millions of people are likely to die.

Not that many people are talking about the bird flu these days, but from our research this is one of the key dangers that we all need to be keeping an eye on.

When this thing does become a pandemic, we will see panic and death like the world has not seen in a long, long time.

What Will You Do When The World Begins To Run Out Of Water?

Once upon a time it was believed that humanity would always have an almost endless supply of fresh, clean water. Those days are gone. For the first time ever, ecologists are using the term "peak ecological water" to describe the approaching reality that the world is rapidly running out of clean fresh water.

While other environmental issues get the headlines, the danger of the world's looming water crisis is severely underreported by the world's media.

According to Dr. Peter Gleick, the president of the Pacific Institute, this crisis is one that people need to start paying attention to quickly: "Is there such a thing as ‘peak water’? There is a vast amount of water on the planet—but we are facing a crisis of running out of sustainably managed water."

In the same press release, Dr. Gleick also added this: "billions still lack the most basic water services."

It certainly doesn't help that some of the worst drought conditions in a generation are being experienced around the globe right now.....

*Australia recently experienced the worst drought it has ever recorded. In fact, according to the Australian government, the word "drought" makes farmers feel depressed and should be replaced with the word "dryness".

*California officials say that the drought in 2009 may be the worst in California history.

*Farmers in Argentina are struggling with the worst drought in 70 years.

*CNN reported that much of the U.S. is now experiencing a drought, and experts says that things could get much worse.

*In fact, 71 percent of Texas is in some stage of drought.

The extent of the problem facing all of us cannot be understated. The following are some very disturbing facts about the world's water crisis from water expert Maude Barlow.....

-Every eight seconds a child dies from drinking dirty water.

-A new desert the size of Rhode Island is created in China because of drought every single year.

-In the developing world, 90% of wastewater is discharged completely untreated into local rivers.

-By the year 2050, 1.7 billion people will live in "dire water poverty" and will be forced to relocate.

-Half of the world's hospital beds are occupied by people who have contracted waterborne diseases.

-The World Health Organization says contaminated water is the cause of 80% of all sickness and disease worldwide.

-Newborns in the global north consume 40 to 70 times more water than in the global south.

-In China, 80% of the major rivers are so polluted they don't support aquatic life at all.

-The women of South Africa collectively walk the equivalent distance to the moon and back 16 times a day for water.

What are you going to do when the world's fresh water really starts to run out?

During these end times it will be imperative that you have a reliable source of clean water for you and your family.

The truth is that the water crisis is getting worse every single day. If this problem is not addressed soon we will be facing a worldwide tragedy of a magnitude that is unimaginable.

A Chinese Expert Proclaims That China Is Likely To Experience "An Epidemic" Of Human Bird Flu Cases In The Coming Months

One Chinese health official stated yesterday that China was likely to experience "an epidemic" of human bird flu cases in the coming months. This chilling warning comes at a time when China has announced its fourth human case of the bird flu in January alone.

Wow!

This is getting frightening.

Another article on the Chinese bird flu situation has this headline: "China Fears Bird Flu Could Kill Thousands During Lunar New Year". That article described how medical experts now fear that bird flu could soon develop into a form that will cause a "pandemic that could kill millions of people worldwide."

Bird flu seems to become a bigger problem each year, and this year in particular it is hitting Asia really hard. In particular, India is on the verge of a bird flu panic as rumors of human to human bird flu transmission have also been spreading there.

Health authorities in Assam recently placed 300,000 people under surveillance in areas where the bird flu was spreading among poultry. Recent reports indicated that 150 people were suffering from fever and upper respiratory infections there.

The bird flu virus spread rapidly among poultry in six Assam districts. Authorities are claiming that the bird flu has now reached "epidemic" proportions among the birds of that area. More than 250,000 poultry have been slaughtered in Assam and an estimated 150,000 more birds were scheduled to be killed.

India had been hoping that the bird flu would be more under control this season. The World Health Organization described the January 2008 outbreak of the bird flu in neighboring West Bengal state, when more than 4 million birds were killed, as the worst bird flu outbreak ever in India.

However, it is not just India that is having massive problems with the bird flu. The disease is causing headlines all over Asia:

*Cambodia recently confirmed a new human case of the bird flu.

*Several weeks ago a hospital in Indonesia was overwhelmed when it admitted 17 patients believed to have bird flu in just 2 days.

*The government of Hong Kong recently shut down all chicken farms and markets, killed 80,000 chickens and halted chicken imports from mainland China after the bird flu virus was detected at a poultry farm there.

The bird flu is even popping up in the United States again. FoxNews is reporting that bird flu was recently found in a duck in the state of Rhode Island.

The truth is that the bird flu is as big of a threat as it ever has been. With all of humanity's technological advances, the reality is that a serious flu pandemic could still race across the earth and kill millions of us easily.

What will you do if a bird flu pandemic races across the world and millions start dying?

How do you think your neighbors will react?

Are you ready?

You better get ready.

MRSA Superbug

Due to the massive overuse of antibiotics such as penicillin, "superbugs" have developed that are highly resistant to the antibiotics commonly used to fight them.

One of these, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacterium that can cause infection in many different parts of the body.

It is much tougher to treat than most other forms of staph infection because of the resistance that it has developed to antibiotic drugs.

The symptoms of MRSA will depend on where the infection is.

Often, it will first show up as a mild infection of the skin, such as a pimple or a boil.

But it can also cause much more serious skin infections.

This superbug can easily infect surgical wounds, the bloodstream, the lungs, or the urinary tract.

Just check out the following video report from CNN. MRSA is sweeping the United States, and analysts are saying that nearly 100,000 people in the United States could contract MRSA this year alone. In fact, CNN is saying that this may indeed be the "new AIDS".....



But MRSA is hardly the worst plague that the world may soon be facing.

The Los Angeles Times is reporting that new bird flu cases have revived fears of a human pandemic.

Bird flu seems to become a bigger problem each year, but this year in particular it is hitting Asia early and it is hitting it hard. In particular, India is on the verge of a bird flu panic as rumors of human to human bird flu transmission spread.

Health authorities in Assam have placed 300,000 people under surveillance in areas where the bird flu has been spreading among poultry. Recent reports indicated that 150 people were suffering from fever and upper respiratory infections.

The bird flu virus has spread rapidly among poultry across six Assam districts. Authorities are claiming that the bird flu has now reached "epidemic" proportions among the birds of that area. More than 250,000 poultry were slaughtered in just two weeks in Assam and an estimated 150,000 more birds were ordered to be slaughtered.

India had been hoping that the bird flu would be more under control this season. The World Health Organization described the January 2008 outbreak of the bird flu in neighboring West Bengal state, when more than 4 million birds were killed, as the worst bird flu outbreak ever in India.

However, it is not just India that is having massive problems with the bird flu. The disease is causing headlines all over Asia:

*Cambodia has now confirmed a new human case of the bird flu.

*Several weeks ago a hospital in Indonesia was overwhelmed when it admitted 17 patients believed to have bird flu in just 2 days.

*A 16 year old girl in Egypt recently died after contracting the bird flu.

*The government of Hong Kong has shut down all chicken farms and markets, has killed 80,000 chickens and has halted chicken imports from mainland China after the bird flu virus was detected at a local poultry farm.

The bird flu is even popping up in the United States again. FoxNews is reporting that bird flu has been found in a duck in the state of Rhode Island.

The truth is that the bird flu is as big of a threat as it ever has been. With all of our technological advances, the reality is that a serious pandemic could still race across the earth and kill millions of us easily.

It is not just bird flu that we need to be worried about either. For the first time ever recorded, Ebola has been discovered in a pig in the Philippines. If you do not know about Ebola, then you should look it up. It is one nasty disease, and if pigs can now contract it, how long will it be before humans are able to come down with it?

Frightening days are ahead of us.

Get prepared.
