World Cup should be cancelled because of bird flu: German politician

BERLIN (AFP) - A German Green party politician said the football World Cup, which will be played here from June 9 to July 9, should be cancelled because of the outbreak of bird flu in the country.

"The virus is here, and we have a giant sports event on our hands. I would be tempted to say let us be cautious and call it off," said Baerbel Hoehn, the leader of the parliamentary committee for agriculture.

The World Cup organising committee refused to comment but Hoehn found support from World Health Organisation expert Klaus Stoehr, who said he did not think the suggestion amounted to "scare-mongering."
"We should think very carefully about what we are going to do if we have a human case of avian influenza," he said.

The 2006 World Cup is expected to bring some three million football fans to Germany, and the country has been preparing to host the event since 2000.

The dangerous H5N1 strain of bird flu reached German shores last week, and by Tuesday 103 dead birds had tested positive for the disease.

With all the news about the WC in Germany, like plenty people over there not too enthused about it.
Call off this beautiful game, after years of preparation, this man had to be mad boy.
First they doh like the coach, then dey doh like wey he living, then the stadia unsafe, now bird flu...

All dey have to do is doh serve no fowl, or fowl features and everybody cool.  The organisers should issue a disclaimer form now too..."IF YOU GET BIRD AND DIE, DON'T BLAME US".

And ah know that wouldn't affect Trinis, because we feel we invincible to any disease from European countries anyway.

Health is very important and i think Germans have enough structure to deal with the bird flu. As most of us know, bird flu can't spread very quickly and if so they may not be enough vacines for everyone. I was watching it on a document of the disease on oprah and this disease is capable of wiping out a mass population in a few days. Hope them Germans take serious precautions because the world cup is a great oppprtunity for the virus to spread it wings....
