Sounds like a cool name for a heavy metal band.
"GIVE IT UP FOR SWIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE FLU"
"GIVE IT UP FOR SWIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE FLU"
I thought the world wasn't set to end for a few more years...lol.
were all gonna die in 2012 anyways
Something to look forward to then!
The issue is the Homeland Security and TSA do not have thermo-detectors installed at various international airports i.e. Atlanta, Los Angeles, Houston etc to screen travellers coming back from Mexico City and other areas of Mexico and issue traveller warnings NOT to go to Mexico City.
We must fight this endemic which will have a major impact on our economy.

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.
The swine flu epidemic is concentrated at Mexico City not southern border !
Canada just reported new cases of swine flu due to students travelled to Mexico for spring break.
STAY AWAY FROM MEXICO !

Too late for that....
The international community is better prepared than ever to deal with the threatened spread of a new swine flu virus, a top UN health chief has said.
As the UN warned the outbreak might become a pandemic, Dr Keiji Fukuda said years of preparing for bird flu had boosted world stocks of anti-virals.
Canada is the latest country to confirm cases after as many as 81 deaths in Mexico and 20 cases in the US.
Washington has warned the flu may yet claim American lives.
Two people have been admitted to a hospital in Scotland with flu-like symptoms after returning from Mexico.
Health secretary Alan Johnson said the country is on "constant alert" - but has £500 million of flu drugs ready.

World 'well prepared' for virus
UK ready for 'probable' flu cases

oddly enough that quote works for the economy too
but with nukes, chemical weapons, and biological weapons in human hands i'd be fairly amused if pigs ended up wiping us outBoth Symmetrel (amantadine) and Flumadine (rimantadine) are ineffective against this strain of swine flu !
Swine influenza, or flu, is a contagious respiratory disease that affects pigs. It is caused by a type-A influenza virus. Outbreaks in pigs occur year-round. The current strain is a new variation of an H1N1 virus, which is a mix of human and animal versions.
When the flu spreads person-to-person, instead of from animals to humans, it can continue to mutate, making it harder to treat or fight off because people have no natural immunity.
The symptoms are similar to the common flu. They include fever, lethargy, lack of appetite, coughing, runny nose, sore throat, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Learn more about swine flu and how to treat it »
The virus spreads when an infected person coughs or sneezes around another person. People can become infected by touching something with the flu virus on it and then touching their mouth, nose or eyes.
The recent outbreak in China is a H5N1 strain of bird flu and is totally different than the Mexico City strain which is H1N1 variant strain.
CDC still can not update us the virulence of this Mexico City strain and how potent the strain can transmiss from people to people through airborne viral particles and how deadly the virus can be.
Even without the swine flu, 38,000 people dies from regular flu illness each flu season. But most are elderly, diabetic and on immunosupressed drugs, steroid, cycosporine, cellcept and other cyctotoxic and immunosupressed drugs.
The message is stay out of Mexico and away from most inner cities in the southern borders with high concentration of Hispanics such as Houston, Los Angeles.

Hang on..........this could be a cure for the World Wide Recession! Half the population dies = loads of jobs!!

The secret ingredient? MY BALLS
A kid was diagnosed with Swine Flu in Elyria, OH the other day. I live in Cleveland now (SIGH) which isn't too far from Elyria at all. So, if I suddenly disappear, and you hear reports of Swine Flu related deaths in Northeast Ohio, you'll know what happened to me.
Ironically, what do you think would happen if I was eating a piece of bacon when I first noticed the symptoms?
