Do you think the government has created a superflu virus?

Many governments  work on all sorts of biological warfare.\n\nSo of course all of them do or are trying to.

OH the government loves to scare you.  With all the popular discontent about the war in iraq, the government needs to convince you that there are greater threats out there in order to divert your attention.  True the bird flu would be terrible if it broke out as a major epidemic, but mankind has faced this before.  If we survived the black death and three dollar a gallon gasoline, we can push through brid flu too.  The truth of the matter is that the government wants you to be scared and feel dependent on them to protect you in hopes of keeping the population from acting out against the war.  its sad, but so true.

you trying to give us a virus?

make sure you wear protection - there's a lot of viruses out there!

Highly unlikely......it takes a certain amount of the virus to actually infect you.

Nahh,in fact anything now is considered as terrorist attack.Then, why you dont consider the Bird Flu as terrorist attack?

The thing that scares me is what if the gov't saw all of the dandruff and told us to run out and buy plastic and duct tape claiming that it was a terrorist attack?  :)

thats not true- if u study the virus, you will relaise its not easy to cre it because of its mode of spread, and mode of infection- but theres somethign called malthucian theory- when the population grows to very large numbers, nature finds its own way of controlling it by means of natural disasters and diseases.

The experts dont know...all they do know is that it spreads at an alarming rate!...;

Ahhh, the government has already tried that trick on us before..naughty naughty naughty...thou shalt not tell a lie!!!  I'd have to see it with my own two peepers, and even then, after I checked "it" out, naw, possibly some mutants that the government let out the back door of someone's science experiment.  Sad but true. Oh my what we don't know what's going on under our noses.  :(

A few years ago you could have argued that most viruses were made to annoy or to prove how smart the programmer is (or isn't as many of them managed to prove to the world).\n\nFor most modern viruses, unfortunately, the kick is money.  The viruses we've been seeing over the last three or four years have pretty much all been designed to take control of other people's computers - to form so-called botnets.  These botnets can then be used for a variety of (mostly illegal) purposes and they apparently can be traded and sold.\n\nTo take a fairly well-publicised example, botnets have been used to extort money from legitimate businesses by threatening to attack and take down their website at a critical time.

Sounds good on the surface, but there is far too much room for abuse of power, as if the government isn't already abusing its power, but I won't go on about the obvious.\n\nShort answer: No.

attack by who? government or the people that they government claims.

The viruses are Not evolving.  The programmers who write them are becoming more clever or perhaps have learned a few more tricks.\nThis includes viruses, trojan horses and sleeper programs, some of which modify their own code to make it harder to spot them, especially if they do not attempt to do anything immediately.\nSome the worst viruses are now being written by the DOD to send into enemy country banking systems.  These are the ones you hope never get used.

The basic answer to this is No because there are various strains of the virus and thus each person could be reinfecting each other and thus make the other person sicker than they really should be.

Go search the news.  It recently appeared to pass from person to person in a single Indonesian family, but apparently that was the 3rd time that that has happened on a very small scale.  That's why they were so concerned so long ago (and still are;) but so far, actual cases of it happening are very rare & isolated, involving a lot of close contact with the sick person.\n\nThey believe that the virus will have to mutate before it is capable of a pandemic, but that hasn't happened yet.

From 2003 you have "Virus au paradis"\nhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0372017/
