Prepare your immune system for any lethality of bird flu

One quite frightening aspect of H5N1 bird
flu is its extremely high lethality rate.

As I write, something like 155 people have
been infected and about 74 have died.
Just recently, 4 Turkish children.

That's a lethality rate of just over 50%.

Compare that to the 1918 flu, where the
overall lethality rate was about 2.5%.
Although I think that's based on
experience in the United States. Since
in some countries up to 20% of the total
population died from it (such as Western
Samoa), the lethality rate must have
been higher in some areas.

It's quite possible that it varied a lot
depending upon the level of medical care
available and the overall quality of
diet. I've read that the
1918 flu death rate much higher in the
parts of India undergoing a famine at
the same time than in parts that had
enough food -- and obviously that makes
sense.

If and when bird flu becomes highly
contagious, if it retains even a small
percentage of that lethality, it will
rival or exceed 1918.

But recently I read -- somewhere, I've
been reading so much that now I can't
remember where -- that medical authorities
are finding antibody to H5N1 in the blood
of people in Southeast Asia who were
never hospitalized with bird flu.

Having the antibodies in their blood
indicates that they WERE infected with
the virus to some degree. But since they
were never hospitalized, they suffered
only mild or perhaps zero symptoms.

If true, the actual lethality rate of bird
flu is much lower than hospitalizations
would indicate.

This is great news -- but now there's the
question. Why do some people get sick only
a little bit or not at all and other people
wind up in the hospital and half of those
dying?

One possibility is simply the degree of
exposure. Maybe some people got just a
few H5N1 in them, say from passing close
by a chicken market. Their immune systems
dealt with it, and that was that.

Maybe the people who wind up hospitalized
are the ones who get a heavy dose of H5N1.
A lot of them are children, who likely are
in close contact with chickens as they
play in their yards and villages.

Of course, if H5N1 becomes highly contagious
between people, that would likely mean
that most exposure will be high. If you're
nearby someone who sneezes, you'll inhale
a lot of H5N1 if you're not wearing a
NanoMask.

It's possible that the people being hospitalized
are mainly people with weak immune systems.
This may explain why so many are children --
in medical jargon they're "immune naive." That
is, their immune systems just haven't had
time to develop and strengthen.

Therefore, I don't see how this would invalidate
or weaken any of the advice I give in my
book How to Protect
Yourself and Your Family From Bird Flu .

In fact, it makes my advice that much stronger.
Because if bird flu can be beaten by a strong
immune system, don't you want one?

That's all the more reason to NOT feel helpless
and powerless in the face of the pandemic.
There is good reason to hope.

Good reason to prepare adequately for the
pandemic, so you and your family will
survive.

So it's obviously still important to make sure
that your immune system is as strong as possible.
Which is what I spend a lot of time on in the book.

have found:
