Swine Flu

[Will E Worm]

Mexico swine flu deaths spur global epidemic fears.

A unique strain of swine flu is the suspected killer of dozens of people in Mexico, where authorities closed schools, museums, libraries and theaters in the capital on Friday to try to contain an outbreak that has spurred concerns of a global flu epidemic.

The worrisome new virus — which combines genetic material from pigs, birds and humans in a way researchers have not seen before — also sickened at least eight people in Texas and California, though there have been no deaths in the U.S.

"We are very, very concerned," World Health Organization spokesman Thomas Abraham said. "We have what appears to be a novel virus and it has spread from human to human ... It's all hands on deck at the moment."

The outbreak caused alarm in Mexico, where more than 1,000 people have been sickened. Residents of the capital donned surgical masks and authorities ordered the most sweeping shutdown of public gathering places in a quarter century. President Felipe Calderon met with his Cabinet Friday to coordinate Mexico's response.

Too bad that they can't create a drug cartel version of this epi / pandemic, thata way all of the violent jerks will be gone and Mexico could return to it's ol hospitable self once again and tartanterrier can finally go on one of his many accrued vacations.

I don't worry about these things. They say things like this all the time.

Remember monkeypox?

Also, in my area they had an influenza commercial.

I don't have time to worry about scaremongering.
I have a grill out to think about tomorrow.

Bird flu and/or SARS was supposed to have wiped us all out by now, I think.

People have a higher chance of contracting a staff infection, than any of those diseases.

Don't worry, buy some hamburger and Johnsonville brauts and grill out.

:hatsoff:

We will be fine.


A "seed stock" genetically matched to the new swine flu virus has been created by the CDC, said Dr. Richard Besser, the agency's acting director. If the government decides vaccine production is necessary, manufacturers would need that stock to get started.


The CDC says two flu drugs, Tamiflu and Relenza, seem effective against the new strain. Roche, the maker of Tamiflu, said the company is prepared to immediately deploy a stockpile of the drug if requested. Both drugs must be taken early, within a few days of the onset of symptoms, to be most effective.

Actually those are synthetic and Colloidal Silver is natural and will work much better.

COLLOIDAL SILVER: From the early 1900's to 1938 doctors would prescribe silver as a cure for various ailments. Now doctors in the 21st Century avoid it. What changed in 1938? FMNN Misinformation Investigator eRadio guest, Dr. Scott Johnson gives the history and much more. Also learn why 95% of what is being sold as "Colloidal Silver" is actually "Ionic Silver" with very little therapeutic properties.

Colloidal Silver may be natural but it does not work for everyone and it is not better. Sometimes you have to not believe everything that is on YouTube and actually read scientific studies. :thumbsup:

 

[bustybbwlover]

it's only a matter of time before something strikes humanity down , we've got viruses, diseases, melting polar ice caps, super-volcanoes, meteors, somethings gonna get us

Go watch the videos on it and if you have any questions email Scott Johnson.
The FDA and incorporated "doctors" have been lying to us all for too long.

Stop taking synthetic drugs. :hatsoff:

 

[PlasmaTwa2]

Well, at least I'm all the way up in Canada. Has to go through America first. :thumbsup:

I do not watch video's on serious issues. I would much rather read the actual scientific data. :2 cents:

 

[Mauser98k]

Sars was supposed to kill us and so was the bird flu. we'll be fine. these friggin' news outlets need to stop playing the scare tactic game to get ratings.
