Has anyone experienced about Bird Flu? And what have you done for it?
I am very ill because I have flu infection, during flu infection I do not have
Food because My whole body is very painful and infected by Bird Flu Virus.?

[billybobsky]

Huh?

Go to the hospital if you are really ill.

Go to hell if you aren't.

[Windowsrookie]

1.wait? you have bird flu?
2.bird flu=death. or do you have the regular flu?
3.why is this posted on applenova?

[billybobsky]

2. Not actually sure about that one, windowsrookie... It appears that the stories of the bird flu may be vastly overstated, particularly since they don't know who endemic the flu is... that is we see several tens of cases that people become extensively ill, but we don't know how many people are actually infected and how many of those show the death causing symptoms...

Whatever you do, don't eat chicken soup. That's just for regular colds. If you eat it while you have the bird flu, eating more bird products exponentially increases your chance of death.

Penguins are good though, because their wings are shit. A penguin has never flu, so you can't get it from them.

Not the Pittsburgh Penguins though, they're so bad that their games could cause death, whether you already have the bird flu or not.

Not sure about not eating though, man. What's that saying, starve a fever, feed the bird flu? Eat some oatmeal or something. Might want to hit the doctor's office too while you're at it.

What was the question again? Anyway, welcome to AppleNova. Go to the doctor, dumbass.

[Maciej]

At least this is posted in the right forum. Heh.

Yes.

Are we suppose to take that as a greeting?

Yes, go to the doctor. Hope you get well.

Because logically when you want unparalleled medical advice, you should log onto a forum you've never been to before, and ask people you don't know if you have a life-threatening illness. WTF?

I mean seriously.. W _ T _ F ?!

Dude, if you think you have something worse the the normal flu (which can be pretty bad as far as fever and muscle pain), GET YOUR ASS TO A HOSPITAL. This is almost worse than a new member logging in for the first time, going to Apple Products and posting "Hey evree1, Window$ is het sUk! Should I buy a Mac? Derrrr."

Watch it, smart guy, or this might be you the next time you step on the ice.

No it isn't. It belongs in the Genius Bar.

[Linus van Pelt]

this is too much!! i am keeled over from laughter. AppleNova has too many comedians and not enough doctors. Go figure.

[Moogs]

Laughter is now officially the best medicine (efficacy on Bird Flu not yet tested). In a surprising twist, laughter just recently edged out the newly patented, Flying Dutchman lobotomy kick. Dr. Chuck spares many a moron a tortured life in this way. The "H" in Chuck stands for Healer, btw.

That cracked me up!

Nice one murbot!

Mystery solved!

[murbot]

Funny you say that, I got my first negative rep points in, oh, a year and a half yesterday, for my not-nice welcoming of perk to AppleNova. Waaaaaa.

[Windswept]

Everyone's yukking it up at this poster's expense.

Apparently no one thinks the post could be legitimate.

However, the poster is from India, and since bird flu has turned up in various parts of Asia, I think there's a chance this post could be real.

In any case, billybobsky, I think telling such a first time poster to go to hell is rude, unacceptable, and embarrassing to some of us who see no reason for AppleNova members to exhibit such uncalled for hostility to brand new members.

[murbot]

You don't think it odd that someone joins a Macintosh message board to ask the members if he has the friggin' bird flu?

Sounds like crap to me.

[709]

More than odd, I'd say....especially with his 'do not have Food', only to have koly pop up less than a day later with 'food in good quantity'. I think an IP check is in order.

[spotcatbug]

And the spam posted by koly (who is probably perk in disguise) pretty much seals the deal, doesn't it?

[onlyafterdark]

I would normally agree with you Carol, but in this instance not so much.

If the poster had the "Bird Flu" he would not be posting here because he would be at deaths door. And like everyone else has said, why would you join a forum like this to let us know you have Bird Flu? The way it has been covered in the media, anyone who even remotely thinks they have contracted it would be rushing to a hospital ASAP.

The whole thing just seems very odd, thats all.

[murbot]

While I won't disclose full e-mail addresses, both perk and koly have this on the end of them:

_tab1@yahoo.co.in

with different 4 letter names preceding that.

IPs look completely different, but I'm not into digging around to find out where IPs originate and things like that... I leave that to the smart admins.

I do think it's safe to say that this guy is full of shit, and a ploy to plug some kind of website. Damn, I should have jotted that down before I edited it for him.

Sorry Carol... If you read my post, I told the poster that if he was ill he should seek a physician, and if he wasn't (and was thus lying in order to gain sympathy or for profit (as the case is)) then he should go to hell.

He should go to hell.

I stand by that statement as much as I would tell a first time spammer here to go to hell.

It really is that simple, and it is really fair unlike your comments.

[Moogs]

Carol you're missing the larger point. Why would someone who suspected they have bird flu, seek out a seemingly random computer forum they've never been to, register, and then ask a random group of people (who have no knowledge of this person's medical history or living conditions) if they have bird flu? Why would the internet even cross this person's mind (aside from places like WebMD maybe)?!

Clearly this is one of the stupidest things many of us have seen here in a long time, and is not indicative of someone who is coming here to be a part of our Mac-loving, tender hearted community.

It's good to be a sympathetic person and a caring person, but you're caring about the wrong person. This individual is either a troll or just... I dunno. Clueless. Put yourself in the position of someone who has come down with a serious illness, and is seeking advice. Would you surf around the internet until you found a nice *computer forum* and go ask someone for medical advice or diagnosis? NO. The thought wouldn't even cross your mind most likely. A#1 you would call your DOCTOR, or local hospital or local clinic or whatever.

If you put your emotions aside and use logic you'll see no one has stepped out of line here at all. This is like someone who wants to know if their diet is healthy, calling up the NASA switchboard and saying "I haven't had a lot of energy lately and my skin is pekid... do you think I need more green vegetables in my diet?"

[murbot]

It's probably a weird ploy to see a picture of Carol's boobs... one that we just haven't quite figured out yet.

[Moogs]

As lovely as Carol's boobs must be, there is no shortage of bodacious breast pictures on the webernet. I mean that's almost worse that what we already have. Why not just logon to boobsgalore.nipple and have at it? No conspiracy necessary, just working digits and enough neurons firing to type a google query. If there is a conspiracy here, I'm calling the Chuck squad in to deliver bloodshed.
