Bird Flu is a big fraud its all about the New World Orders de-population & control agenda. Remember SARS and West Nile Virus how it bearly killed anyone.
Sheesh, Bird Flu is a fraud (if you are not a chicked farmer in Indonesia, you definitely have nothing be afraid of bird flu. By the way, this week again one guy died of bird flu over there).
But influenza pandemic is most definitely not. Three facts for any sceptic:
1) Historical research seems to indicate that influenza pandemics have happened through all human history, and last century we had 3 of those, where one was a big one as shown in the movie (though over blown) and other two less severe. ALL scientists working on human influenza agree (me included) that pandemic IS going to happen at some point. Whether it will come out of H5N1 (bird flu) is not sure at all. On the one hand, H5N1 has now around 60% mortality rate, which very probably will decrease a lot, if/when it will turn to obtain efficient human-to-human transmission capability. So very probably, the mutation(s) that will make it potentially pandemic will also make it a lot less lethal.
2) Mankind is extremely interconnected right now, it is not possible to stop the disease from becoming a real pandemic when it really starts to spread.
3) Economic damages caused by a even fairly low intensity pandemic might be too much to bear for our fairly fragile world economic system. And economic effect might touch the average joe much more than disease itself.
I think the KEY IDEA behind this movie is to show what could happen if ANY Virus ( not just specifically H5N1) does become a deadly strain with high mortality rate, and efficient human-human trans..
Alot of what is depicted can be taken as fact, Just look at the history of USA.
