read this in the paper....depends how bad it gets i suppose but you can see their point if it gets as bad as feared

It would have to be pretty serious for that to happen...

If it was that bad we'd all have to stay inside anyway. So let's at least let the players play the tournament so we have something to watch on TV!:laugh

There is no real threat. if you live with pigs, chickens in the same room and then sell them half dead on the market place(exact conditions in Taiwan, PHilipines) no wonder you get infected!!! People over there are poor, underpaid(work in factories, owners are big european&northamerican corporations, they pay them 0,5$ per hour or so...

THere is no threat!!! I live in an area, where they think(THEY THINK_DONT KNOW_ONLY A SUSPICION) they have a new case of H5N1(or sothing like that).. and they had to close 3km perimeter. You cant have chickens outside(we dont have them, but you must remember there are farms, and some have chichens as extra activity, while they normally are only one type of farms- they have pigs or cows,, rear cases are sheep or goats... Also people who are employed in one of slovenian(but definantly in top 10 of european poultry manufacturers) companies cant have any animals at home.. My roomates family has a fuc*** ed up life now. He is just before retirement, but in the past they were raising parots.. Now they cant have them at home, or he can loose his job.. Also prices of parots have gone down, before he got 100-150€ per bird, now 50-100€ max...

Personal i think this is just political decision of Eu to cut down number of small breeders, so that only big will survive.. Same with Sugar industry-EU is stimulating countries in development(specialy Balcan area),, they sell sugar at 1/3 smaller price than normal price. And factory about 25km from my home will shute down, 250 workers unemployed... Only bad things since we entered EU

LOL please do not take the Bild Zeitung serious! They needed a story nothing more. I can't imagine the WC beeing canceled.

[pyrtas]

more people will die in car accidents at that time. Maybe lets just walk into Germany.

[Borussia Wolf]

Maybe the German government has realised that their national football team is going to be humiliated and they are looking for excuses.

No chance that the World Cup would be cancelled because of abit of Bird Flu :D
