It is clear that bird flu will bring appalling statistics to the economies. The epidemic must not be allowed to evolve into a pandemic, this is the most important thing.

There's consensus. There's clarity. There's cash. There is much better coordination. We should be able to deal with the bird flu epidemic much quicker and ... if the pandemic comes, it will be smaller as a result of what's gone on at this meeting.

The $1.9 billion shows that the world cares greatly about the issues we face and that governments want to be sure that there is enough cash available to do everything they have to do to get the current epidemic of bird flu under control and make sure that we can prepare for a human pandemic.

I should make clear from the outset that we do not know if the bird virus we are seeing overseas will ever become ... a pandemic.

Frances Townsend

Our nation has recently been focused on avian or bird flu and the threat it presents for a future worldwide pandemic, ... I want to emphasize that we do not have a human flu pandemic right now.

The epidemic situation is very severe. Right now is spring, when there is a high chance of bird flu outbreaks due to the frequent movement of migratory birds. This epidemic has not been effectively controlled worldwide.

Now, it's getting to the point -- in particular with the (bird) flu thing that we may see something happen that we need to be ready for. When you have the likelihood of a pandemic...that's scary stuff.

In terms of the bird flu, which is currently devastating the bird population and has made 150 people sick (worldwide), half of which have died, nobody knows if that would ever cause a human pandemic, or if so, when. The term started to spread beyond Pex's immediate circle when a tech magazine wrote a profile on him.

But all the Administration released was a glossy brochure and a plan for a single agency, the Department of Health and Human Services, and even that was missing its most important element, the actual operational plans for responding to a pandemic epidemic,

The Ministry of Public Health provided timely information on the country's human infection cases of bird flu and held three news briefings on the epidemic within two months, which created a favorable environment for bird flu prevention and control.

It's a bird to bird thing, and then bird to people thing when you are in very close proximity over a concentrated period of time.

The more it spreads in birds internationally, the more opportunities it has to interact with animal and human hosts, increasing the chances it could evolve into a human pandemic virus. No one knows if this will happen, or when, so it is critical to prepare for a potential human flu pandemic at the same time that we are working to prevent the spread of avian flu in birds.

Dr. Carissa Etienne

You've got to look at general crime statistics, road safety statistics and all that sort of thing in deciding whether a place is safe or unsafe to visit. And certainly London does come out better in all those mundane but much more relevant statistics.

[The finding that Spanish flu came straight from birds has raised concerns among scientists. Previously, a pandemic was only thought likely if an avian strain merged with a human flu virus.] For me, it raises even more concern than I already had about the pending potential of a flu pandemic, ... It looks as though an avian strain evolved in 1918 and that led to the deadly outbreak, in much the same way as we're now seeing the Asian avian flu strains evolve.

But if, of course, it became an epidemic, we would want to stop it becoming a pandemic, spreading across borders,
