Update: August 1, 2016

We are sorry, but due to other commitments we have been unable to update this website and devote the resources to it which the subject matter deserves.

Therefore, we have decided to put the domain name up for sale and hope that the new owner will build an informative website here.

If your organization is interested in the domain write jon {at} birdflu.com



Welcome to BirdFlu.com. We strive to connect you with important and timely sources of information that you will not easily find in mass media news reports and popular search engines.

Updates will be posted as the evolving bird flu crisis unfolds.




"Although the presence of three family clusters in the same geographic region with disease onset dates between January 24 and February 5... raises serious concerns, neither the GD MoH [Guangdong Ministry of Health] or WHO updates cite the relationships. The withholding of this information from the large Huaji cluster, as well as clusters in Zhejiang, Hunan, and two clusters in GD (all of which are detailed in local media reports), continues to be hazardous to the world’s health."

--  Dr. Henry Niman, Ph.D. WHO On Huaiji H7N9 Liang Familial Cluster, February 11, 2014



"Today marks the Lunar New Year – and the world’s largest annual migration. There will be more than 3.6 billion transit trips within China, in addition to countless international trips. Yet this celebration comes at a time of growing concern about the H7N9 avian influenza virus. And this concern is not unfounded – should this virus change into a form that easily spreads between people, the world’s next pandemic could occur in the next three weeks."

--  Dr. Tom Frieden, Director, United States Center for Disease Control, How to prevent the next pandemic, January 31, 2014



“If H7N9 influenza or any other novel respiratory pathogen that kills or incapacitates more than 1 percent of its victims were to become easily transmissible, the outcome would be among the most disruptive events possible... Uncontrolled, such an outbreak would result in a global pandemic with suffering and death spreading globally in fewer than six months and would persist for approximately two years... We judge that the H7N9 influenza in China that emerged from birds in early 2013 is not yet easily transmissible from person to person... It bears watching for its extreme severity, high death rates, and potential to mutate and become more transmissible.”

--  James Clapper, United States Director of National Intelligence, U.S. Intelligence Community Worldwide Threat Assessment, January 29, 2014



"Cases going down????? H7N9 cases are EXPLODING in China, including the second case in Fujian province and the cluster in Shandong.

You really need to look at the map and see the distribution, not the REPORTED number of confirmed cases."

--  Dr. Henry L. Niman, Rhiza Labs Flu Tracker Forum, April 28, 2013

"An influenza pandemic of even moderate impact will result in the biggest single human disaster ever - far greater than AIDS, 9/11, all wars in the 20th century and the recent tsunami combined. It has the potential to redirect world history as the Black Death redirected European history in the 14th century."

"I personally believe it will happen and make personal preparations.... 

Society just can't accept the idea that 50 percent of the population could die. And I think we have to face that possibility.... 

I'm sorry if I'm making people a little frightened, but I feel it's my role."

"A Russian virus expert warned that a human pandemic of the bird flu virus was highly likely and called on the government to stock up on medicine and prepare hospital beds.

'No quarantine measure can prevent the pandemic. It can only slow it for a few days,' Dmitry Lvov, director of the Virology Institute at the Russian Academy of Sciences said at a news conference in Moscow....

The Russian expert warned there was a 90 percent likelihood that the current form of the H5N1 bird flu virus could mutate into a form easily transmissible between humans."
