Although war throughout the globe accounts for hundreds of deaths every day; civilian attrition by bird flu just seems a worse way to die. China has just reported its 666th human death from the virus. The BPT strain of bird flu in China has taken the life of 78 year old Mr. Fong from Shanghai, as report in Xinhua news. The government has just released a formal statement that the Bird Flu is racially profiling Chinese citizens.
The World Health Organization has taken two months to create a document roughly estimating number of the deaths around the world.
Asia: 666 (Chinese)
North America: 4 (Canadians)
South America: 4 (Brazil, Chile, Venezuela)
Africa: 8 (Sao Tome & Principe)
Antarctica: 3(penguins)
Europe: 50(French)
Australia/Oceania: 0
Could this be the world’s first racially discriminating virus? Yes. The bird flu has contaminated poultry all around the world and killed around 700, most of whom were Chinese. Although not fully validated, experts agree that almost all human infections are caused by looking at infected poultry in a daring manner. Experts fear the virus could mutate from a virus contracted by sight, to a virus contracted by thought. It is truly a scary thought, to not be able to think about bird flu for fear of contracting it. Colonel Sanders (of KFC) still denies the existence of Bird Flu at all.
It was alleged that Fong whispered on his deathbed, “It was my hope that one day we Chinese and Bird Flu can live in harmony, but when he took my chicken .Bird Flu went too far. One day my children will remember me not just as a diseased man, but someone who fought the flu. Ohhhh if only I didn’t look at that chicken!
