Government doesn't trust the the people.

They seem to be over afraid of a negitive reaction.

The new influenza  virus, A(H1N1).

Hasn't killed many, less than 200 so far.

It is something new, never seen before.

And the cure, Tamilflu mujst be administered

with in 24 hrs of fever to be sucessful.

Human, bird and pigs genetic material.

Main article: 1918 flu pandemic

The Spanish flu, also known as La Gripe Española, or La Pesadilla, was an unusually severe and deadly strain of avian influenza, a viral infectious disease, that killed some 50 million to 100 million people worldwide over about a year in 1918 and 1919. It is thought to have been one of the most deadly pandemics so far in human history. It was caused by the H1N1 type ofinfluenza virus, which is similar to bird flu of today, mainly H5N1 and H5N2.

There is a fear it may morph into a drug resistant strain and have a very high mortality rate.

Also a fear is this new flu virus may cross with a H5N1 virus.

H5N1 virus, is an avian flu virus, The current death rate for patients with confirmed H5N1 infection is more than 50%. The virus that causes human avian flu appears to be resistant to the antiviral medicines amantadine and rimantadine. Therefore these medications cannot be used if an H5N1 outbreak occurs.

People with severe infection may need to be placed on a breathing machine. Experts recommend that persons diagnosed with avian flu be put in isolation.

This is a Pandemic now.

Experts warn that use of face masks does not provide adequate protection. Face masks only work when dry; after an hour or two the breath causes the fabric to become damp and then it does not provide filtration of infection. A face mask must be replaced every two hours and the one used disposed of or cleaned. The WHO have increased the level pandemic alert to phases 4 on a 6 point scale. Phase 4 indicates a "significant increase in risk of pandemic".

And not all surgical masks are equal. I've heard M95 masks are effective.

Anyone know the size ( microns ) of this virus?

The face mask must filter everything to that size.

Many don't.

Paradigm Intel:

The threat is so great that the White House spoksperson missed

the story about a Presidential Jet with Air Force Jets flying over NYC 

at low altitudes.

There have been no deaths yet in USA.

This is temporary. There will be deaths.

This is the end of the Flu season, but this virus

has established its self in the population.

The question becomes can the out break be ended

before it morphs into something realy bad.

CDC has acted independently of WHO.

And their assessment activtivated

plans for a serious pandemic.

Stock up on food and water, etc.

Its to late to close the border between Mexico and 
USA.

Now about the 500 lb gorillia in the room.

Was this a terrorist attack?

Paradigm Intel points to NO.

It would take a very advanced set up to create this bio. threat.

There could be reasons for releasing it in Mexico rather

than USA.

But the backblast could cripple the attackers also

But that wouldn't bother Iran or terrorist.

A clear sign that this is an terrorist attack would

be out breaks in USA without connections to Mexico or

other outbreaks.

A concern is the terrorist obtaining the virus and spreading it

of keeping it going till it does morph.

Other virus:

Conflicker:

Not a lot of information but Conflicker has apparently downloaded new instructions and a keylogger.

Certain Conflicker variants are apparently downloading new code and instructions via an encrypted Peer to Peer connection. According to Trend Micro the new code includes a keylogger and other code for stealing passwords and financial information.

• Trend Micro - “the Downad/Conficker botnet has awakened, and perhaps their desire to monetizing their efforts is becoming more clear.”
  
  
• Sans Internet Storm Center - “Conficker update with payload”. 2009-04-09 update
  
  
• The Inquirer - “Apparently it has updated itself and dumped a mystery payload on infected computers, according to Trend Micro. The data package seems to be a keystroke logger and so the worm is probably after secret data.”
  
  
• BBC News - “Conficker begins stealthy update” - “The Conficker worm has started to update infected machines with a mystery package of data.”
