Flu,flu,flu

It's all you hear about on radio and TV here in the US . started in Mexico ,
or that's where most have died. 81 count Sunday over a hundred today.

I see this today ."Britain investigating 17 possible cases of swine flu+"
http://www.breitbart.com/article.ph...&show_article=1

Is this going to get us all in the end?

they tell us not to visit Mexico .what the hell would that do to help with 12 million illegals here and more each day crossing over .

TV TELLING YOU WASH HANDS,WASH HANDS,WASH HANDS.

I'm sure that will stop it.Obama says not to worry. OH glad he said that now I don't have to worry.

what are you guys being told in the UK ? or are thy just not telling you anything yet.

10 or 15 cases on the east coast of Canada now I think.

Plenty of hand washing propaganda coming north from your lovely states though.

My parents just left for a cruise to Mexico today, I hope they'll be alright. My dad was worrying about it (actually obsessing about it) before they departed.

How about Canucks instead?

This has been covered everywhere, have to wonder how much this will spread.

I wonder if this is as deadly as SARs, West Nile and the other diseases that have barely killed enough people to even be remembered in 10 years.

Im not saying the disease is made up but the media blows this shit so out of proportion I am amazed people even listen to it anymore.

The bird flu was supposed to infect between 100,000,000 to 150,000,000 about 100 died from it.

Posted by Munson on 04-28-2009 01:04 AM:

It might kill you. If you live in a dirty fuckin toilet like mexico.

Just more shit for the news fags to get all the sheep riled up.

We should invade mexico, put all the natives on reservations and see if there is any oil.

Posted by David Cameron on 04-28-2009 11:45 AM:

Why isn't the world helping Mexico. We should be shipping boat loads of Sofa's, TV's, Jeremy Kyle Boxsets and Lucozade over to them immediately. This is the best way to combat flu unless its really serious, in which case there should be ample stocks of Lemsip on standby

Fucking pussies, but, on a more serious note, if this flu does spread in Britain and it kills at the same rate as the Mexican bug it will save my firm a shit load of hassle. I think the mortality rate is very close to the amount of redundancies they are planning to make, it could save them millions in payouts and it would be based upon Darwins old school rules instead of the new brown nose rules.

I'm glad most of you see this shit for what it is... A slow news day!

Diseases come and go and there's little we can do about it. It's bullshit scaremongering, if the death toll rises to 50% let me know and I might start giving a shit

That's what i've been thinking , there been a lack of terrorist activity these last couple of weeks. They've got to report on something that's going to kill us all.

This could be bad for Canadians. Back bacon is a staple here, and it's not necessarily cooked properly.

No wonder it went unnoticed for so long in Mexico.

I thought I may have caught swine flu - I've come out in this nasty rasher.

I tried phoning the NHS Direct health line but all I got was crackling.

So I went to the Doctor's. He said it was snout to worry about, and gave me a prescription for some oinkment.

Looks like the most of you guys were right. I just ran across this BWO "The Drudge Report" on the net.

Only 7 swine flu deaths, not 152, says WHO (World Health Organization)
"They dismissed claims that more than 150 people have died from swine flu, saying it has officially recorded only seven deaths around the world."
"That figure is not a figure that's come from the World Health Organization and, I repeat, the death toll is seven and they are all from Mexico."

Why are the news Agencies allowed to start these panics with out being held responsible?
meanwhile all of these headlines are on the same Drudge Report.

World takes drastic steps to contain flu...
Hits home in USA: Now in 11 states...
UPDATE: France asks EU to suspend flights to Mexico...
CDC: 91 confirmed cases in USA...
EGYPT ORDERS CULL OF ALL PIGS...
*FARMERS RIOT...
Mexico visitors head for home...
UK to leaflet every house...
EU Commission expects deaths in Europe...
Phoenix police wearing gear to protect against flu...
California Marine has swine flu; 30 quarantined.
Only 7 swine flu deaths, not 152, says WHO

Truth?

Truth?

The symptoms of swine flu are apparently very similar to severe pneumonia and it's difficult to differentiate between the two. I have no idea what the usual pneumonia rates in Mexico are, but I suspect there's been a massive increase and that's why local doctors/morticians are dealing with it as swine flu. There are 7 deaths that are undeniably and categorically swine flu, but the remaining cases may be swine flu too.

Because flu is so common, we see it every year, treatment is usually effective most people are blasé about it. But standard seasonal flu kills 1000's in the UK every year, as many as 20k+ in some years as recently as the late 1990's. Admittedly they're generally the younger/older and weaker members of the population, but the effects of flu are the cause.

This strain of flu is far deadlier and will kill even those who aren't poorly or infirm. In terms of population it won't make a massive dent, the numbers I've seen say if it reaches pandemic proportions then potentially there may be 50,000 deaths in the UK - that's still less than 1 in 1000. I *believe* a pandemic means 1 in 4 infected, so about 15m infections in the UK.

It may be that it never reaches those proportions, the mass hysteria and warnings are to try and prevent that happening (as far as the health authorities are concerned, obviously, though for the press it's far more about that hysteria selling papers and advertising space/time).

You can all discount as meaningless because bird flu had almost no impact...but it may just be that the hysteria that surrounded it, the culling of animals worldwide and the transport/migration restrictions imposed was what made it so benign.

My mum is old and relatively weak, I have nephews and neices that are young and susceptible. Personally, if I get a sniffle I'm getting it checked. Possibly it'll save my life, possibly it'll save the lives of friends and families.
