*Official Swine Flu Thread*

LOL I read run repts … and some of the shit they do … Im sure you know

People are going to start dying because of this for one reason, fucking ANXIETY. They need to chill out.

its called Münchhausen’s. Now they have an excuse.
I feel bad for everyone that works in the health care industry right now. My mom’s an ICU nurse and even she has issues with people thinking they have it.
“OMG, I’m here for a drug overdose! my tummy hurts, I must have the swine flu!”

Keep up the good work though! we count on you guys!

While the news does sensationalize everything this is a serious issue.

It’s getting major attention of health organizations and governments for a couple key diffences it has with normal flu.

  1. The is no vaccine for swine flu.
  2. The people drying in Mexico are the exact people who should be LEAST succeptible to flu; young healthy people.
  3. The virus has mutated, because it’s not supposed to be possible for it to be passed from person to person. Because of this no one knows for sure how quickly it could spread.

Should you be rioting and panicing, no. However, you also shouldn’t be just dismissing this as some over hyped news story spot because you read some wiki about how many people die from normal flu.

So I should put my shotgun down, but do I take the boards off my windows? Meh, im still not worried.

no. the threat of zombies always lives on. you are never safe, only SAFER.

It was once said that a black man would be president “when pigs fly” indeed 100 days into Obama’s presidency…Swine flu!

YES

In the 1970’s the swine flue was all the rage too. Everyone screamed PANDEMIC! So, they issues forced vaccinations.

In the end 1 person died from the flue and 25 from the vaccinations before they canceled the program.

And who says we learn from history. I say bullshit.

1970’s ad for the swine flu haha

[sarcasm]well how come once this flu comes out, tons of doctors are like walking the streets?!?!!? crazy![/sarcasm]

I just ate at a very “authentic” mexican restaurant. Bad idea?

So they confirmed a kid with it in Chataqua county…

Did he go to Mexico or something?

I JUST RECEIVED THIS EMAIL…

Dear Valued Supplier,

The government of Mexico mandated that all industries close for five days beginning Friday, May 1st. In compliance with this directive, Eaton’s Tijuana operation will not be manufacturing or shipping product through Tuesday, May 5th. Unless otherwise directed by the Mexican government, Eaton’s Tijuana operation will resume production on Wednesday, May 6th. Our Broker in the US will be will remain open and will receive product that is already in transit to the facility.

I won’t laugh yet. The Flu pandemic which killed about 50,000,000 people in 1918 started out similarly to this flu. It came on strong, weakened within a week and then two months later spread like wildfire killing everyone.

The weak virus hits everyone and it is “not severe” until that one person which it mutates a little more and becomes deadlier occurs… and then… BAM! BAM! It’s Emeril Flu time! Spice it up!

I will wait to see if that happens before totally dismissing this thing.

Don’t worry this one only kills Hispanics. What’s up with that?:snky::tinfoilhat:
