  ARE YOU AFRAID OF DYING?

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as we were all told long ago, none of us would have to worry about getting old and dying in this system of things, because the new system was "right around the corner".

  as we all know, that corner was really a circle and the new system is always just out of reach.

  my father, a witness for the last 60 years, is terrrified of dying, seeing as he never thought he'd have to deal with it.

  Remember the fears about the spread of AIDS? SARS is the reality

  by Simon in

  remember the fears everyone had when aids first hit the news?.

  here was a new killer virus that didn't have a cure and people feared it could be passed on cups, on seats, by shaking hands, by coughing and sneezing and so on.. it turns out that it couldn't and while there is still no cure, the infection rate is actually relatively low.

  it takes 2 years for an aids victim to infect someone else.. now we have sars, everything changes.

  A UK medical expert has warned the Sars virus has the potential to be more devastating than the Aids epidemic.
  

  Dr Patrick Dixon said it was not inevitable, but there was a 25% chance of a global Sars pandemic.

  Dr Dixon, who is an expert on Aids and considered Europe's leading futurist, predicting global trends, said the crisis needed to be taken out of the hands of health chiefs and handled by world leaders.

  He said: "This is not a yuppie disease contracted by air travellers. That is a pathetic reaction that will put the whole world at risk. It is worth remembering that Aids has infected 80 million people so far over a 15 to 20 year period.

  "Aids spreads slowly so we can track it and plan for it. We have effective anti-viral drugs which can prolong life. But this is different, we don't have the time. This is a far more serious epidemic potentially than Aids."

  Dr Dixon said his main concern was not the number of infections in Beijing, but rural, isolated areas in China and around the world.

  He said: "China has draconian measures in place in a bid to contain the virus, but in a country like India which is chaotic with minimum health provision, the potential for spreading the virus is huge."

  Dr Dixon, a fellow at the Centre for Management Development at London Business School, said if current trends continued there could be a billion cases within 60 weeks. He has called on world leaders to address the problem as a matter of national security.

  He added: "Unless the virus spontaneously mutates into a less dangerous form, the only hope we have is to mount an immediate aggressive global response at the highest levels against Sars, something we've not yet seen.

  "If things continue as they are, with a mixture of denial, confusion, delay, ignorance, bad decisions, poor data gathering, official decision-making paralysis, incompetence, concealment, secrecy and government apathy in some parts of the world, then a pandemic is surely only a matter of time."

  Have to agree with you on this Simon. I am quite worried, like you say the world is a smaller place with modern transport!

  I had a crappy day today- this helped...

  a friend texted this to me today.... a man took his wife to the doctor to be checked out as she was feeling unwell.

  after examining her he took the husband to one side and sighed, ' i'm afraid it's very serious; your wife has either aids or alzheimers .. ' that's terrible ' exclaimed the man, 'but how will i know which one she's got?'.

  ' oh, that's easy enough sir, just put her on a bus and if she comes home, don't shag her'

  You would most likely never have heard of Jesus of Nazareth, much less worship him.

  So are you 100% certain of that?

  I am on Freeserve, freeserve Broadband is good choice but the narrowband service can be slow, depending on your area.

  If it were not for staff discount I would have got Broadband from www.force9.net half a meg service at under £20!
