THE SWINE FLUUUUUU
Roccy:
"Most of the nation's confirmed cases were in New York, where the city health commissioner said "many hundreds" of schoolchildren were ill at a school where several students had confirmed cases of swine flu."
the government must be destroyed!

some kid from a school literally a mile away from mine went to Mexico for spring break & came back with it & went to school.
75% of the school got it & it is spreading throughout the country.
a baby in Texas died today (from the flu). :-\ :-X
i hope it doesnt become way too serious though & more become in critical condition. :-X

Jrome I think you need to be cautious because there are 3 obvious responses to that
1) We don't know the incubation period
2) This is a combination of human, pig flu and bird flu
3) We don't know the true numbers
Now obviously those who hold shares in vaccine will benefit massively but that doesn't mean that this isn't extremely serious. i am not willing to commit to one or the other because we also had the u.s government saying this strain might diminish and fade out but there will be another one. While the chasm of actual information exists, then beyond the frenzy and beyond the hype, a clear picture has not emerged.
Whatever happens though, stay the fuck away from the vaccine
Peace

That's a stupid conspiracy considering that Tamiflu is becoming more and more worthless over time. Most viruses have become resistant to Tamiflu and Relenza so Rumsfield really made a shitty investment then.
Fortunately, Swine Slu can be treated with Tamiflu........for now. Who's to say the strand doesn't become resistant to it like most other viruses?
In the event that this is a pandemic, and the CDC and WHO are acting like it is because they actually met together and increased the threat level from possible pandemic (3) to increased human-human transfer (4) meaning a pandemic is possibly on the way. That has never happened before......not with bird flu or SARS....never.
If any of you have flu-like symptoms, go to a doctor immediately. If not, you could unintentionally kill your loved ones, coworkers, etc. by spreading the swine flu to them if you happen to have it. This flu is more dangerous in 25-50 year olds than it is in young children and the elderly. It could get bad, but hopefully it is just a bunch of media sensationalism. I doubt it though because the CDC and WHO are not fucking around with this.
