My friend has just read in newspaper the Bird Flu epidemic is in Turkey now.

Can someone enlighten us if it is only in a certain area and hasn't engulfed the whole country?

We believe it to be very dangerous.

Bird flu is important nowadays in Turkey so you must not buy varieties of chicken like an egg,chicken wing etc...

It has just been on the news in England, that the bird flu will come to england, mutate into a virus that can affect humans and possibly kill over 50,000 people.
Scary heh? How can you say its not dangerous? I think the turkish authorities do not tell the people the truth...

From what I have read and heard on this topic, the bird flu has been around since the early 90's and it has not mutates.. meaning that it cannot be passed on from human to human; therefore, currently this is not a danger. However, there is a lot of talk about vacsinations or the lack thereof.

There is a vaccine. It hasn't been made in large quantity yet because, as previously stated, there aren't any cases of human infection yet.* They're just trying to keep track of the whole thing so to be prepared if anything did happen.


*as far as I know at this time
