Up up and away

Star World News will be presenting a three day special report about Bird's flu.
I've watched the 1st part last night. It really gave me quite a scare.

Main report explains how the H5N1 evolves and mutates once it comes in contact with a person who has a common cold. This makes the pandemic possible in a matter of time.
It also said that this can cause to infect and kill half the earth's population!

Sometimes reports seems to be overdramatic. But expecting the worse of the worse, you can see this happen.

Let's just pray that day would never come. Everything now falls in the hands of God.

Here's a bit of a trivia:

What's the difference between Outbreak, Epidemic and Pandemic? (Answer is in numbers)

Outbreak- a sudden increase in numbers of a harmful organism and especially an insect within a particular area. (locale)

Epidemic-affecting or tending to affect a disproportionately large number of individuals within a population, community, or region at the same time . (general)

Pandemic-occurring over a wide geographic area and affecting an exceptionally high proportion of the population. (global)
