As we approach the Great Olympic games of 2008 in China many question have come to once mind, such as ethics, Human rights and Freedom of expression, terrorism and security!
What did not really come to any once mind, at least not in the public at large is the possibility of a pandemic outbreak of unprecedented dimension!
China had this week a couple of cases of a mysterious illness that by its symptoms alone does remind one of the so called Bird Flue or H5N1 Virus.
Chinas and the WHO do not say at this point what it is or could be since no one does know for certain and speculation are always dangerous, especially in the wake of such events as the Olympics and it money machinery!
Some media have reported the possibility of the Bird Flue as well as Terror acts, committed with some Virus, Bacteria or Chemical that would make the People sick and cause death as well!
Others are talking of the mutation of the H5N1 Virus into a more aggressive and easier to transmit form.
What the HWO and China do want to avoid is a panic reaction based of rumours and fear, especially since so much is at stake here! After all those are the Olympic Games!
On the other hand neither China nor the HWO want to miss any thing that could put people at risk and cause a pandemic of Bird Flue around the World.
Many are coming from around the World to the Games in China and will leave as well again soon after those games. They would be the ideal and fastest carrier of a deadly virus around the World, that could and would spread at a spread never ever seen before in Human History and cause millions of casualties around the World!
The Olympics are one of those Ideal occasions for such pandemic to take place and may very well do that in the near future as well! Maybe not in China. Yet, maybe this is the time for it to spread out around the world, makes you wonder if those Viruses are not smart after all!
The difficult part here is to avoid an unfunded panic and still protect all Humans should it be another H5N1 or even worth yet, a mutation of the H5N1!
