Albert Einstein perhaps fantasized about what it would be like to ride a beam of light and conceptualized his famous Theory of Relativity. He must have visualized that the human mind has first to construct forms independently before we find them in things. Thus to articulate any change one has to stretch his imagination beyond his specific visible limits, as we may say, "what you see is what you get. So change your eyes ". For today's generation the thought of Albert Einstein being a doctor rather than a scientist would lead to bitter rivalry between these two educated factions of the society.

The question still remains unanswered - Had Einstein been a doctor was it possible for him to view the sparse Bird flu occurrences in 1918 (virulent form H1N1) as a potential threat to the mankind of early 21st century. In the possibility of his being a doctor his famous theory of relativity "E=mc²" would have thus been interpreted as: -

E = Energy of the bird (in joules/watt)
m = mass of the bird (in kgs)
c = velocity of the bird (in m/sec)

The equation may have had been different or the thought of converting his equation of Relativity to equation of Bird Flu might seem absurd but what if it was true?

Bird Flu (present virulent form known as H5N1) is a mutation of the H1N1 virus and has evolved over decades. Unfortunately, it did not have any takers like Einstein and has since become a life threatening disease especially so in the last few decades. The potential pandemic that could occur at any time was at the doorsteps of mankind when the world woke up to it. It had the potential to wipe out civilizations, if not effectively handled, which included quarantining of the infected area and culling of millions of birds. The bird flu primarily reported in South East Asian region in the last decade winged its way to Europe. The spread is reported to be via saliva, feaces or secretion of the bird to the humans by direct contact. The immunity of the body is affected by bird flu ultimately resulting in death of a human being.

Bird flu seems to be aggressively competing with AIDS to destroy mankind. Developing countries appear to have been hit harder because of unawareness about the disease amongst its population, limited health care facilities and insufficient space. Though WHO is handling the issue competitively in a very sensitive manner and drugs like Tamiflu has been recommended for prevention against Bird Flu but care must be taken by the individuals themselves to prevent a direct contact with the infected poultry thereby limiting the spread of the disease.

The avian flu that has affected birds and people in Asia, Europe, Africa and the Middle East, is different from the flu that many people get during the cold-weather months. Poultry - like chickens and turkeys - tend to get infected with the bird flu by migrating waterfowl (like ducks, geese, and swans), and spread it to other birds through their infected feces, saliva, or secretions.
Avian flu is caused due to the H5N1 virus which is transmitted from the saliva, fecal matter of the birds. The disease is highly contagious and causes death of birds and poultry population. The virus is lethal and assumes the proportion of pandemic, which can wipe out the entire population of birds and poultry. The virus also spreads to the human beings if they are in contact with the sick bird or poultry. Human beings are also afflicted by the virus which can even be life threatening.
The avian bird flu has taken quite a few lives and could possibly be the next pandemic. The more you know, the better off you are.
Over the past year, Bird Flu has been pasted on the headlines of every major media outlet in the nation. It seems like everybody is worried about it, but when I ask, no one can tell me exactly what it is. Is it as bad as everyone makes it out to be?
Everywhere you turn you see it on the news. Bird flu is on the rise and people are scared. The Avian or Bird flu is commonly seen among wild birds. It is as typical as the human flu and is transmitted between birds. Find out the facts and you can protect your family.
