Avian Flu H5N1 Sanctuary

Avian Flu Sanctuary

Located in Mont Tremblant forests (Quebec, Canada), the sanctuary is secure from exposure to viruses and contagious individuals. In fact, there are no other inhabitants in the 1.5 mile radius. Considering the fact that avian flu sanctuary is self sufficient, has food supplies for at least a year, has military trucks for transportation and offers protection by ex-military officers in case of chaos, you and your family will always stay safe and sound.

Avian Flu H5N1 Virus

Avian Flu or H5N1 influenza is a virus that mostly infects birds and is extremely deadly to them. Avian flu does not transmit from between humans, however since November 2003 close to 400 human H5N1 infections have been confirmed in Asia, Pacific, Africa and Europe. Most of those cases occurred to individuals who were in close contact with domestic poultry and wild birds. Perseon to person spread is extremely rare.

Influenza viruses have the ability to mutate; therefore H5N1 avian flu stays a concern for the scientists. To cause a pandemic avian flu must surpass human immune system, harm human health and be easily transmittable. Considering the fact that H5N1 causes extremely high mortality rate in birds, it would quickly cause a pandemic if it could surpass immune system and transmit like a seasonal flu virus.

Avian Flu Symptoms

Avian flu cannot be diagnosed by symptoms alone. A laboratory test is required.

If avian flu does mutate and starts to infect people it will be instantly classified a high level pandemic (World Health Organization classifies viruses on the scale. The higher the rating the more dangerous a virus is to the society. H1N1 influenza virus currently ranks number 6. If avian flu was to transmit from person to person it would be instantly classified higher on the scale than the swine flu).
