A world wide pandemic is on the horizon.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush asked Congress on Tuesday to consider giving him powers to use the military to enforce quarantines in case of an avian influenza epidemic.

He said the military, and perhaps the National Guard, might be needed to take such a role if the feared H5N1 bird flu virus changes enough to cause widespread human infection.

"If we had an outbreak somewhere in the United States, do we not then quarantine that part of the country? And how do you, then, enforce a quarantine?" Bush asked at a news conference.

"It's one thing to shut down airplanes. It's another thing to prevent people from coming in to get exposed to the avian flu. And who best to be able to effect a quarantine?" Bush added.

"One option is the use of a military that's able to plan and move. So that's why I put it on the table. I think it's an important debate for Congress to have."

Bird flu has killed more than 60 people in four Asian nations since late 2003 and has been found in birds in Russia and Europe.

Experts fear that the H5N1 bird flu virus, which appears to be highly fatal when it infects people, will develop the ability to pass easily from person to person and would cause a pandemic that would kill millions.

"And I think the president ought to have all ... assets on the table to be able to deal with something this significant," Bush said.

He noted that some governors may object to the federal government commandeering the National Guard, which is under state command in most circumstances.

POLICE DUTIES BANNED

"But Congress needs to take a look at circumstances that may need to vest the capacity of the president to move beyond that debate. And one such catastrophe or one such challenge could be an avian flu outbreak," Bush said.

The active duty military is currently forbidden from undertaking law enforcement duties by the federal Posse Comitatus Act.

That law, passed in 1878 after the U.S. Civil War, does not prohibit National Guard troops under state control from doing police work. But, unless the law is changed, it would keep them from doing so if they were activated by Washington under federal control.

While the law allows the president to order the military to take control and do police work in an extreme emergency, the White House has been traditionally reluctant to usurp state powers.

Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman told reporters he was not aware of any current planning by the military to help respond to a flu pandemic.

But he noted that after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita devastated the Gulf region, Bush had asked Congress to consider giving the military control over initial response in dealing with major natural or other domestic disasters.

"Obviously the (Defense) Department has a tremendous amount of capability in a lot of areas. And we are a large force," Whitman said, noting also that the military had deployed field hospitals to Louisiana after the hurricanes.

Health experts are working to develop vaccines that would protect against the H5N1 strain of flu, because current influenza vaccines will not.

And countries are also developing stockpiles of drugs that can reduce the risk of serious disease or even sometimes prevent infection -- but supplies and manufacturing capacity are both limited.

Bush said he was involved in planning for an influenza pandemic, which experts say will definitely come, although they cannot predict when, or whether it will be H5N1 or some other virus.

Oh Georgie Porgie, have you let another cat out of the bag?
Shall we speculate on how many infected birdies will have to be released into the environment to cause a pandemic?

Anyone remember the name of the movie in which some kind of weird virus/disease was being spread by dear (i think). The military quarentined the area and proceeded to kill the infected.

Big fucking deal!

Exactly! Why is it that the WHO, newpapers around the world, and now yesterday Bush talking about using the govenment to handle a pandemic?  Like Ginger said not that many people have died. So big deal.

That's what doesn't make sense. It's almost like the government is saying the outbreak is eminent. Why all of a sudden this talk about pandemics running rampent in the media globally? Why all of the sudden focus and warnings? Just seems a bit odd.

And last Friday, Hong Kong lawmaker Tommy Cheung
proposed a solution to the legislature for stopping bird flu altogether: "Perhaps what we should do is give each person a gun, and when we see a migrant bird, we can just shoot it down, so Hong Kong would be a much safer place."

::This just in::

Anonymous inteligence sources have confirmed that Avian Flu virus has attempted to purchase biotechnology from Niger necessary to transmit itself among humans. Sources insid the Pentagon have called an emergency meeting to figure out how to impliment Marshal Law at home while diverting military troops to blow China off the map.

Stay tuned for marching orders.

I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure.

REGULAR FLU will kill upwards of 30,000 people this year....and next year....and the year after that.

Where's your wing-flapping over that information?

Big deal is right!

I would also like to give a heads up to everyone that 37 MILLION PEOPLE have the HIV virus and CLOSE TO 3 MILLION OF THEM WILL DIE THIS YEAR.

The Pandemic has arrived my friend....you havent.

OREGANO WACKS BIRD FLU

Friday, November 18, 2005 - FreeMarketNews.com

New research on Oil of Oregano shows it to be a natural anti-viral agent, one that did not merely kill H5N1 in the lab but ?slaughtered it? according to Dr. Cass Ingram as interviewed on radio earlier this month by Dr. Meg Jordan, Ph.D, RN. In Global Medicine Hunter (GMH), Dr. Jordan reported on Dr. Ingram?s latest research into Oil of Oregano as follows: ?He shared the groundbreaking research on oil of oregano in the form of Oregacyn P73 Respiratory Support. These capsules are taken 3 times daily and for extreme cases, 2 capsules every 1 to 2 hours. ? The P73 didn?t just hinder H5N1?s growth in the lab, it slaughtered it.? And she adds, ?Ingram claims he got a call from Vice President Cheney asking him if he stockpiles barrels of the stuff. ?I don?t stockpile oil?that?s your job,? was the doctor?s blunt response. ? The research is expected to be published soon in the Journal of Antiviral Research.? Caveat: ?Ingram noted that this is not just any oil of oregano, but a super strength form. ?Plus it took 25 doses for the slaughtering to occur?H5N1 is one tough bug.??

Dr. Jordan relates she just returned from the TIME Global Health Summit where she ?heard from experts at WHO and CDC, along with scientists and health ministers from around the world. The general agreement was that the Bush avian bird flu plan of supplying 20 millions vaccine shots (when and if one is developed) was ?too little, too late.? ? Dr. Irwin Redlener, director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness said the country's waiting so long to address the threat of an avian flu pandemic is the ?biological equivalent of not fixing the levees? in New Orleans before Hurricane Katrina struck. ? Another virology expert said that ?Tamiflu will be worthless in no time; don?t bother stockpiling it.? Most of Big Pharma present confided that flu vaccine has not been an attractive endeavor due to low profit margins; the number of companies producing flu vaccine has plummeted in the last five years, according to Wall St Journal (11//8/05).

With all that doom and gloom, Dr. Jordan concludes, the best course of action may be the simplest: ?use common sense: avoid crowds, wash your hands as if you had a case of OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder), and go with the oil of oregano antiviral and other immune-boosting remedies like good nutrition, plenty of rest, and stress management.? Online marketing material on Dr. Jordan describes her as follows: "medical anthropologist, international health journalist, radio personality, editor and founder of American Fitness Magazine, and the Global Medicine Hunter. ... She was a core faculty member of a new media venture with Deepak Chopra entitled MyPotential, and was a founding correspondent on iVillage, covering Global Health for women."
