25 May 2000 (Australia) was the release date and just for the record, The government lets Hollywood make movies on such matters just to make sure the truth is discredited.

"I'm sure it was the movie called "28 Days" that started with this script. It mutated, creating Zombies" Between 1960 to 1972 is when the incident took place. And your point is what?

Dr. Horowitz's book, stated "the issue of possible simian virus contamination of certain live viral vaccines has been suppressed since 1972... This basic flaw in the regulatory process must be addressed."

Jewely. Its funny most movies inspires our minds, but the thought have to of come from somewhere. But this is no story of fiction.

Just a thought.

Shouldn't all countries be taking a real look at the ways we do farm to prevent situations like this latest outbreak

In most cases aussie farmers are very hard working people who don't care for the old '9-5' routine.

Unfortunately, farm prices are set by comsumers who in most cases want more, for less, all the time. In fact, they will abondon locally produced food if the price is not right and find an alternative and give little regard as to whether it is imported or not, despite what you may think or have heard.

It is only when ACA, or similar programs run a story on what we are actually eating, or more so, where it comes from e.g. imported seafood, that consumers stand back and take notice, otherwise it is the good old wallet/purse that drives there habbits and they will often go to any length to save money, even if it means cutting our own producers out.

If you don't beleive me, check out how much of our pork products are imported. Don't forget to include ham and bacon hey!

Hey Evo:
"25 May 2000 (Australia) was the release date and just for the record, The government lets Hollywood make movies on such matters just to make sure the truth is discredited."

You went and looked up the release date? I like you already. When I was a bit younger and first saw WWF it was always the Russians that were the bad guys then after awhile it was the Arabs, I havn't seen it in years now so I'm not sure who "they" now want the low brows to hate. Maybe not to discredit though, perhaps it is to make us a little more immune to the possiblity - hence avoiding organised panic.

" Between 1960 to 1972 is when the incident took place. And your point is what?"

Cool movie..?

"Jewely. Its funny most movies inspires our minds, but the thought have to of come from somewhere. But this is no story of fiction."

28 days actually made me slightly uneasy but there ya go. There was a whole run of movies about outbreaks. I think one was called "outbreak".

I haven't kept up to date with stats or breaking news on the flu, mostly because, as has been mentioned, all the information is a tad conflicting. But at which point do people start looting and heading for the hills?

Hey Rehctub (how do I pronouce that?)

"In fact, they will abondon locally produced food if the price is not right and find an alternative and give little regard as to whether it is imported or not, despite what you may think or have heard."

Then why a couple of years ago did bananas cost so much? Why protect some farming and not others? Not that I am suggesting a banana plant (palm?) is too upset by being placed close to the next banana palm (plant?).

But if I do grasp what you are saying... it is defending the farmers right to pack in live stock so that they can compete with imported goods?

"If you don't beleive me, check out how much of our pork products are imported. Don't forget to include ham and bacon hey!"

I believe you, unless this is against some political forum rule.

Jewely:"I believe you"

Someone call 000, rehctub's going to need the re-sus cart...

Jewely.

"But at which point do people start looting and heading for the hills?"

Gee,z I hope never, and jumping to conclusions from the media and such, just makes the matters worse. I also think movies can give us a little insight into the future which can assist us.

Just for the record, I would ban most food imports, not just for our farmers sake, from which our government neglects on a shocking level, but most importantly, to keep the micro world from others countries well OUT. But what people don't understand is what you pay for is what you get, and over seas food growing practices are hardly exseptable.
