Swine Flu

[Red Spyder]

Sounds like a cool name for a heavy metal band.

"GIVE IT UP FOR SWIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE FLU"

Remember Anthrax during the Anthrax scare? :rofl:

Excuse me, I don't feel good, I think I need to sneeze now.
Aaaah, aaaah, aaahh, oink-choo, oink-choo

 

[tunsty]

Ho-hum..
Yet another plague to wipe us all out.

Wake me up, when this blows over (if you can't wake me, then I got it wrong... again)

Captain Trips is upon us!

:eek:

 

[Facetious]

Bed Bugs ! Hoof & Mouth ! . . . .

Torre82min,

I have lived through the horror of SARS in 2003. No one knew what's going on. Old folks checked in Grace Hospital and did not check out ! Nurses died.

Sounded like a science fiction.

We have to prepare this swine flu to avoid the Spanish flu in 1918 in which 50 million people on earth died.

Torres82min, did you really understand the scope of this swine flu can strike and kill half of the entire population on earth.

Both Symmetrel (amantadine) and Flumadine (rimantadine) are ineffective against this strain of swine flu !

The CDC says two flu drugs, Tamiflu and Relenza, seem effective against the new strain. There is already plenty of this made to go around and they are making more. :thumbsup:

This flu is not going to wipe out half the population on Earth. The regular flu can also kill you. It is just a different strain and this flu is not new. There were cases of it in the 70's. Stop trying to scare people.:2 cents:

I must admit, this is all very exciting.

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?

(ahem)

Cooking actually kills the Swine Flu virus - unless you intended to eat that bacon raw....

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.

The difference between this and SARS is the fact that this is much more transmittable between person to person. The fear over SARS was over the fact it might mutate into a form that was more transmittable, which it hasn't, yet.

Had to change the title though (copyright issues)...

Funny you say that, I just started reading "The Stand" not long ago.

 

[maildude]

We went through this before back in the 70s--for those old enough to remember. Let's hope it's as mild this time.

Things like this makes me want to stay home:scream:

Stupidity can kill even more people than that...but it doesn't. When was the last time you went outside? I'm guuuuuessing...1982? 83? Somewhere around there?

As Bill Hicks would say, another smoke screen to keep us from realizing how the government is fucking us. I can't wait to see people lined up at city parks for the drive-thru innoculations. The government did a practice run last year. No telling what is in the serum - ID chips, poison, maybe even actual vaccine.

 

[Kingfisher]

Okay, now I'm really sick... Sick of the god damn media humping this like a little horny dog. Please Octomom, go insane so it'll distract the media for a day!
