A UN expert warned this evening (Friday 30/9/05) of an outbreak of the bird flu epidemic. The World Health Organization fears the dangers of the outbreak of the virus and its spread in an epidemic on a global scale.
A short time later, a spokesman for the World Health Organization held an unplanned briefing for journalists, to moderate the severity of the words of David Navarro, who is responsible for the bird flu on behalf of the organization, that the disease could kill 150 million people.
Earlier, Dr. Navarro warned that "a mutation of the virus could trigger new outbreaks of the disease and cause the death of up to 150 million people." He expressed fear that the virus will break out as an epidemic in Africa and the Middle East. "We don't know if it will happen now or next year ", Navarro said in an interview with the American television network "CNN", "but obviously we have to be ready now".
Dr. David Navarro said in an interview with the BBC that the consequences of the virus on human life, if it breaks out as an epidemic, will be devastating and unprecedented. According to him, after spreading in the last two years in East Asia, there is a high probability that the virus will develop and pass to humans in Africa and the Middle East as well , because he also started attacking migratory birds.
Dr. Navarro added that he intends to be in contact with agricultural communities and markets around the world where poultry is sold, in order to monitor the possible spread of the epidemic. According to him, the number of deaths from the epidemic, if it breaks out, will depend on the location of the outbreak, the time it will take to identify it and the response to the outbreak. , the death toll could range from five million to 150 million dead. "I believe the work that will be done over the next few months will make a difference Regarding the possible numbers of the dead," he said.
Bird flu is not vaccinable in humans. In East Asia, 60 people have died from the virus so far.
