(PRWEB) April 25, 2006 -- You would know exactly what to do by visiting www.blog-podcast.com, where there is background information about this potential crisis, as well as updates on the latest findings, guidelines on protection, fact sheets, maps of the infected global regions, and more.
According to the World Health Organization figures for April 2006, 196 people have already contracted the H5N1 strain of the avian flu virus and 110 have died since 2003. The U.S. Government estimates that 90 million people will become infected, and millions will die. Mike Leavitt, U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services stated, "Any community that fails to prepare, expecting the federal government to step in at the last minute, will be tragically wrong." There isn't enough vaccine for everyone and it will take many months to produce an effective supply. Scary, isn't it?
The avian flu virus is continuing to spread, and the more active this lethal strain becomes, the more likely it will mutate into a form that can be transmitted between people. That is the biggest threat -- that as it covers more territory, the virus will change and spread from person to person, creating a pandemic.
Most people are not prepared for an outbreak of this magnitude. Knowing what steps to take could make the diffference between safety and disaster.
www.blog-podcast.com was created to provide visitors with the guidelines needed to safeguard themselves should a pandemic occur. The information comes from medical institutions, reputable news sources, federal, and international agencies. There are free resources, and an audio detailing guidelines for a pandemic can be downloaded
