The world is failing to guard against the inevitable spread of a devastating flu pandemic which could kill 50 million people and wreak massive disruption around the globe, the Government has warned.


In evidence to a House of Lords committee, ministers said that early warning systems for spotting emerging diseases were "poorly co-ordinated" and lacked "vision" and "clarity". They said that more needed to be done to improve detection and surveillance for potential pandemics and called for urgent improvement in rapid-response strategies.

The Government's evidence appeared in a highly critical report from the Lords Intergovernmental Organisations Committee, which attacked the World Health Organisation (WHO) as "dysfunctional" and criticised the international response to the threat of an outbreak of disease which could sweep across the globe.

The Government said: "While there has not been a pandemic since 1968, another one is inevitable." Ministers said it would could kill between two and 50 million people worldwide and that such an outbreak would leave up to 75,000 people dead in Britain and cause "massive" disruption.

Peers joined ministers calling for urgent action to build up early warning systems across the Third World that can identify and neutralise outbreaks of potentially deadly new strains of disease before they are swept across the globe by modern trade and travel. Peers also called for new action to monitor animal diseases, warning of the potentially disastrous effects of conditions such as the H5N1 bird flu virus jumping to humans and demanded that Britain step up funding for the WHO to tackle the threat.

With international tourist journeys now reaching 800 million a year, giving unprecedented potential for epidemics to spread across borders, and many cities rapidly growing in developing countries, which would provide "fertile ground" to spread disease, peers on the committee warned that conditions such as Sars, avian influenza and ebola "have the potential to cause rapid and devastating sickness and death across much of the world if they are not detected and checked in time".

Their report said: "We have been warned that an influenza pandemic is overdue and that when – rather than if – it comes the effects could be devastating, particularly if the strain of the virus should be of the H5N1 variety that has been seen in south-east Asia in recent years.

"While much progress has been made in the past 10 years in improving global surveillance and response systems, much remains to be done if we are to detect new strains of the virus and counter them before they have had the chance to spread."

The report called for a fundamental overhaul of the WHO's regional offices around the world. "Given the threats to global health that we face from newly emerging infectious diseases, a dysfunctional organisational structure within the world's principal policy-making, standard-setting and surveillance body simply cannot be afforded."

A government briefing given to the committee warned: "Not all countries have the resources or capacities to put in place a seasonal influenza vaccination policy and, in the event of an influenza pandemic, it is also recognised that current stock will not meet world-wide demand.

"There needs to be an improvement to rapid response strategies in poorer, more vulnerable, countries."

Ministers warned that there was "no agreed vision or clarity over roles" among the international bodies working in the field.

Lord Soley, the committee's chairman, welcomed efforts to guard against a flu pandemic but warned: "They are not good enough. We have a pandemic twice every century. If something developed in a country with a developed healthcare system you would stop it and stop it before it went round the world. You cannot have that confidence about the developing world," it warned.

Norman Lamb, the Liberal Democrats' health spokesman, likened the threat from a pandemic to the threat of international terrorism. He said: "Globally there has been massive attention to the threat from terrorism and rightly so. But the potential for loss of life from a pandemic is massive, enormous and yet we stare a disaster in the face and we see a chaotic, uncoordinated and incoherent international response to it.

"Disease can spread like wildfire. We have to dramatically step up the response."

A spokeswoman for the Department of Health acknowledged that "more clearly needs to be done improve detection, surveillance and general response capacity building". She said Britain was working to improve the international response to bird flu and a potential pandemic and was working to improve international co-ordination on the issue.

She added: "We agree that there is considerable scope to improve the effectiveness and coherence of intergovernmental organisations working in this area

Thank you for this post, Dennis... yes, Shekel called it long ago! We must be diligent in our prayers!

Justice
God's Judgment is just.
IrishRose
Unfortunately, this is not God's judgment. He does not wish any of his people to Perish, but wants them to all be SAVED. This is demonic, not of the Lord. Everyone wants to think the Lord is doing these bad things to us but we bring it all on ourselves. Think of the modern day travel, the way our food is always contaminated, the way our vaccines are meted out involuntarily, the things put in our water that we don't even know about. We are doing this to OURSELVES. We have taken antibiotics to the point they don't work anymore. There is no safe handling in much of our food all over the world. There is lead in our toys we import from China. There are many things happening all over the world and it isn't God that is doing it to us. WE are killing ourselves. And this is not the Will of the Lord. Our job is to PRAY, not to be glad when the judgment comes... This is my opinion, you can believe or reject it, just voicing it wink.gif Be blessed!
End-Time Calling
Good or bad God is in control and everything will and does perform to the commands of his will.
AGreed it does seems we are killing ourselves. But remember we are told these horrible things will happen. We are told because this is a rebellious world and it still suffers under the curses put in affect by the fall of man in the garden.
We think we are smart by putting things in our food and drinks to make them last longer, but then they give us cancer or worse. But God has already told us this is the way of the world. What we think is intelligence is just foolishness in the eyes of God. We as humans relying just on ourselves will continue to destroy and kill all the while thinking we are doing good but we never knew.
But we as Christian are not living in this way anymore.
But the rest of the world still is and will continue to do worse until the end.
The worst time in history is coming. therefore it aint gonna get better before it gets worse. Its just gonna keep getting worse. Until Our Redeemer comes

Amen End time.. I like your perspective!

I am not afraid of the noisome pestilence...

Psalm 91
1He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

3Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

4He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

8Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

9Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

10There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

14Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
IrishRose
Hi Don! You're right, we're to put our faith in GOD... running to HIM and believing HIM to save us from this pestilence. Thanks for the Scripture.

Justice, did I spell that right??

yes.........i don't know what will happen.........i was just mentioning the possibility of these things...........some people probably haven't thought of such things

a little preparation might help a lot!

i'm stockpiling some things at my home.

it might be the difference between being comfortable and being miserable.

if i'm raptured before the famine,,,,,,,,,someone else will eat my cookies!
IrishRose
Well, if I'm left behind, make them Oreos please! LOL..

I know what you mean... we do need to be diligent and prepare... not to be foolish and left with nothing.

Very smart, Dennis! wink.gif

if we are not doing what it says in the gospels we have all failed we are to keep our eyes on the lord and not on what is going on around us or what the press has to say or what we hear on the local news


do we encourage do we pray do we reach out do we offer our time and do we give ?


do we invest in the kingdom or do we drag down and bring other brothers and sisters down ?


i pray over my partner and our members in the philippines that this pandemic killer flue does not enter into the philippines just like with the bird flue and how many diffrent countrys began killing its chickens and turkeys so as to protect its people

our members depend on god not on what man can do for them most of our members cant even aford to take their kids to the hospital or pay for the medicens that the drs recomend

our members live in slums and we have servral tips that have been flattend and homes have been built on these sites that use to be tips

why doubt what we read and think that god is doing this god does not want to wipe us out remember the promise he made to noah ? and the covenant he made to Abraham ?

it says in matthew 24 that its going to get worse Jesus warns us but he gives us hope if we stay on the path he has us on and focus on what he is asking us to do

have you sepperated your self from the world or do you worship the spirit of this world and alow the world to dictate to you ?

god wil not allow any harm to come towards us



Genesis 9


9 Behold i establish my covenant with you and your ofspring after you

10 and with every living creature that is with you the birds the live stock and every beast of the earth with you as many as came out of the ark it is for every beast of the earth

11 I establish my covenant with you that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth

was this promise only for noah and his sons and his wife and the animals that were on the ark or is this promise that god made to noah for us all that he wil never again wipe out man kind like he did when he told noah to build the ark


god says never again shall all flesh be cut of by the waters and i feel that he is going to prottect us from this killer flu as he prottected us from the bird flu



God bless from damo
signet


i wouldn't take a flu shot, or hepetitus for anything...

i am still concerned about chemicals we take in everyday

the flu shots dont work at all i see this in the nursing home and i have seen this with my son when he was little we were given a blue book and in this book we had to record things down like drs apointments and then the shots he was given when he was a new born they give these books to new parents in Australia i was agains alowing ethan to go threw these shots the drs were giving him the dr pulled me aside and said we have the right to also contac depertment off community services if you fail to abide and agree to have your son prottected

last week he came down with the chicken pops the shots he was given did nothing as his imune system is not as strong as my imune system


when the elderly people get a flue in the nursing home i am working in it spreads like wild flower and you have to be care ful you dont catch what ever is going around the nursing home


last week also we had 10 elderly people who were found dead in their rooms in a nursing home in spring wood in the blue mountains and know we are making sure that our residents are prottected
