I'd much rarther trust a professor then YOU who has no qualifications on the subject and clearly as displays knows nothing on the matter. :rolleyes:

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

Mexico have cut the number of official deaths from Swine Flu from 20 to 7 and the number of suspected deaths to 159 and are re-testing hundreds of people using stricter verification.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8024039.stm

At the moment the susect a pig farm in the eastern part of the country as the source of the outbreak.

JJ

If its a man made weapon it's very poorly designed, the leathality is not very high. Seams to be more like normal flu ;)

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

if it was a man made weapon and its deliberately been released to test it then it may be prudent to test the weakest strain first ;) not that I think this btw

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

No i dont think so. The WHO say themselves this is a very serious situation. They still think it could mutate into a more dangerous virus.

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

Of Course! makes the perfect cover story especially if you release it near a pig farm as well, those sly little ....

Until deaths occur outside of Mexico and starts mutating into a deadly a form, there is not a need for overdue concern, there is not much anyone can do at the moment. WHO are concered as they should be it's there job. I don't think we should let our selves be whipped up in panic.

Yes Flu viruses of all types have the potential to cause a pandemic, a lot of other factors do have an impact such as base line heath, nutrition and active and palative care. All of which would probably have an impact in the poor areas of Mexico

Sorry but YOU stated that the masks were useless. A clear innaccuracy on your part.

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

Why would you get wound up? All i am doing is providing a different angle to all of this.

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

A couple of points.

1) You don't know what qualifications Chaos has. He could be medically qualified. Of course, we don't even know if he is actually a he..

2) I don't believe Chaos said he did know. He said "If they order"

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

The problem is the angle you provide doesn't really stand up to any sort of rational testing. There is no evidence for what you imply. Obviously if you want to believe in some sort of conspiracy then that's your right but so far all you've come up with are theories, and these theories have been successfully challenged by others. Simply replying to these challenges with "that's what they want you to think"-type answers is starting to look like desperation on your part.

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

Well, the mask prevents you from breathing the virus in, but it needs to be used in conjunction with hand washing.

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

Oh dear.

If I recall correctly wasn't HIV supposed to be a man made virus too? Again not a particularly good effort.

Was SARS man made? how about H5N1?

Or is every Virus man made according to you???

The chances are this swine flu, SARS, Bird Flu have been around for thousands of years. The only difference between now and then is our ability to travel to anywhere on the globe within 24hrs.

If this virus had broken out two hundred years ago (which it probably has) the chances are it would have been a localised infection and not got out of the village.

If an Englishmen had caught it, by the time he had reached home he'd either be better or dead.

It's just flu, a nasty one, but if your fit and healthy chances are you'll be ok.

Do some research. there have been 150 or so deaths. So what?

http://www.uvig.org/faqsheets/flu.asp

That's from the UK Vaccine Industry- every year as many as UK 3 to 4 thousand deaths are attributable to flu.

I don't see people running round with masks thinkjing it's the end of the world every year???

Get a grip and get real.

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

The thing is if hypothetically speaking if this was really really bad those in power would want to keep a lid on it as long as humanly possible.

Again hypothetically . Imagine if this virus was deliberately released by some group that knows it will start off mild lull people into a false sense of security knowing it will mutate within a couple of months into something much worse. Imagine the gov know this and start to put things in place ie what Bender said early in the thread. We all convince ourselves everything is ok until one day reports come in about a few deaths that reveiled similar symptoms but much worse and so on.
The virus is out in the open in this country . The Scottish couple were out in the open for a while who knows who they passed it onto ? Someone they met might feel a little rough now but goes to work in some kinda distribution plant comes in contact with delivery drivers who are traveling all over the country within a week its everywhere.

As I said I do not think its the case just thought I would write a worst case senario

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

The virus can leak in from the sides :rolleyes:, when the mask is damp (from condensation) it makes the virus stick to it thus making it USELESS!

Nothing to do with washing hands. You are better of not bothering with the mask and just being vigilant on washing hands etc.

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

There is some circumstancial evidence though. I will list it below.

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

The FFP3 masks make an air tight seal (all long as you don't have a beard) they then filter the air down to micron level. The valve on the from of most masks is to alleviate heat and condensation.

The main factor to consider is how long the protection lasts for, after hours of wearing they must become loaded with virus. I think that they would mainly be used for health workers or other people inder constant exposure. I don't know but I assume that a number of masks would be needed to last a day.

The surgical masks seen on TV are of no help for protection. But they do help reduce the amount of virus passed into the air if you are a carrier. This is why Japanese people where masks when suffering from a cold as they see it as a common courtesy.

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

This is really getting stupid and so many people are starting to over react it is beyond a joke now. Bender with all due respect m8 this allocation of mass grave sites and preparation for a epidemic may be new to your partner but it is not new in terms of happening it has been going on for a very long time. Seriously this is done as a matter of routine and the fact it is happening does not in anyway shape or form point to the government knowing something we don't.

As for our resident persistent theorist come on people you should all know better by now then to get involved in any attempt at debate as no chance of a rational one exists and never will do. Right now there is more danger from the over reaction of people then there is from this virus and the media should back off before they start something they can't control there really is no need whatsoever to panic or even unduly worry at this time about this.

So far there have been some deaths in mexico and no where else when people start dropping routinely after catching this i might change my mind but right now it is life as normal.

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

Some sensible advice

And this chap has some good guidelines

(imho)

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

Haven't noticed anyone dying of it outside of Mexico though. Obviously all those deaths are a tragedy but the virus seems to be failing quite badly at any sort of population control.

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

I used to work for an ex-civil servant whose favourite after-dinner story was a massive, multi-agency disaster recovery exercise he participated in, in the south of Scotland, late in 1988. A matter of months before Pan Am 103 blew up and turned a corner of Lockerbie into a crater. Doubtless there are people out there who take that as sufficient proof that the whole thing was set up as well.

I think there are simply some people in the world who have difficulty accepting that basic human nature can lead to people committing vile acts in the name of their cause, or that a natural biological process can cause death and mayhem without human intervention. They believe the only choices are either to believe in chaos (ironic, eh?), or to believe in order - order of the kind that is imposed by secret, powerful people who run the world from darkened, smoke-filled rooms.

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

That's just dramatising it too much. the world is run by money.

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

That's not dramatizing it too much at all. Some people really do think that. 'It's run by money' is a different opinion, and a lot nearer the truth IMO.

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

I would say its run FOR money, power and control.

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

Again, to a great extent I would agree with that as a general observation. However some of the specific claims that are made on the basis of that are highly questionable. Such as the idea that someone is trying to engineer a flu pandemic as a means of population control.

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

I think the problem with these Internet-assembled philosophies and theories on how the world works is that they miss one crucial point. Events control politicians and not the other way around. These conspiracies always look at the aftermath of an event (i.e Iraq war) and then presume that the preceding events were engineered to create said event. If you do it like that then every event in history has pre-planned to create the current politician climate, and hence you end up with the New World Order rubbish.

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

The first confirmed death from swine flu outside of Mexico has just been reported in Texas.

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

Thats just it, the politicians are not in control. Tey are puppets of the excessivley rich and powerful.

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

They (whoever They are), have little or no control over what will, or will not happen. We humans, will indeed allow overpopulation to (if not) destroy or severly damage our planets biosphere....

There is an ingrained, and arrogant belief that we humans are Special, and as such can do as we damn well please, with and to our little blue planet. Kind of unfortunate for all the other organisms that we have to eradicate in our drive for more, more, More! Strangely, everytime we cure a disease after years or decades of research, at the cost of tens or even hundreds of millions of pounds/dollars. A new and more deadly/debilating disease/virus/illness appears, at which we throw masses of time and money at to cure, just so more humans (in the developed world) can lead longer, but no happier and secure lives....

So what? are they dead?

I hear there are several people with a bad cold too, and one with the sh*ts.

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

It appears this strain is only serious if you catch it from patient zero or another victim close to him/her in the chain. It rapidly loses its potency as it transfers from host to host.

This is going to have been an invaluable world-scale test of the mechanisms designed to cope with a pandemic but it doesn't look to me as if we're facing a global medical armageddon this time.

You are completely missing the point. This virus has the potential to kill, how many no one really knows.

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

It doesnt look like its passing from human to human outside of Mexico. This is weird. All the cases in the UK are from people who have travelled to Mexico.

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

As does pretty much any virus without good medical care. Especially what we know as the common cold (which, IIRC, is one of the most prolific killers on the plant).

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

My money is on WHO eventually finding that all the victims attended the same annual pig snogging gala in Veracruz.

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

The common cold has the "potential" to kill, but I don't see everyone screaming about that.

The usual seasonal flu in this country is "known" to be attributable to thousands of deaths each year - no one panics.

There are a diseases and illnesses far more common and far more deadly than this.

That is my point, this hype will be all over in a week when they realise its nothing more dangerous than the flu thousands of us battle against each year.

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

Your still missing he point. It hase the potential to dwarf all those other illnesses. 1918? 50 million dead? Have you got it yet?

You have failed me. I wanted a virus to kill billions. Mr. Bigglesworth is not happy.

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

Which suggests that the conditions within Mexico (such as a lack of good medical care) is helping the virus kill a high number of people.

If that is true, it is reasonable to expect the virus to kill more people in other areas with bad medical care.

I partly agree I don't think it's misinformation, more over-information and sensationaslist reporting by the media.

Sayign that if the media just reported the official facts, no-one would watch the news cause it'd be boring! I tuned into Fox news last night and cor-blimey, they are sensational alright! By the time I stopped watching Fox news I believed we were on the edge of a 28days later scenario!!!

I think you're missing a much more fundamental point, which is that 'potential' and 'likelihood' are two entirely different things.

Yes, I noticed that the 'American' fatality in Texas was in fact also a Mexican. So, so far, it is still only Mexicans who are dying of this. People, it seems, who have had opportunity to get lengthy exposure, or perhaps exposure closer to patient zero.

Thats a very well explained point. Although this virus is spreading, & has now killed outside Mexico, there is very little we can do to protect ourselves from it. Masks do help, as does cleaning, disinfecting & keeping our hands clean, but not enough to ensure complete protection.

It's Political Correctness gone sane, I tell you!

Linky

"The World Health Organisation (WHO) has said that the most recent research on swine flu has shown that the virus is not caused by pigs. The disease is now being referred to as Mexican flu or "2009 H1N1 flu". The WHO has moved the pandemic alert from four to five, the second highest. The first case of what was called swine flu was reported in Mexico and its first fatality was confirmed there two weeks ago.

The 23-month-old infant who died in the US state of Texas, in the first fatal case from the swine flu outbreak in the United States, was also Mexican. The child came from Mexico to Houston for medical treatment, officials said."

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

They are raising the pandemic level to 5.

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

Ahem - note the post above yours...... ;)

And for further clarification, here are the levels defined

"Phase 1 no viruses circulating among animals have been reported to cause infections in humans.

In Phase 2 an animal influenza virus circulating among domesticated or wild animals is known to have caused infection in humans, and is therefore considered a potential pandemic threat.

In Phase 3, an animal or human-animal influenza reassortant virus has caused sporadic cases or small clusters of disease in people, but has not resulted in human-to-human transmission sufficient to sustain community-level outbreaks. Limited human-to-human transmission may occur under some circumstances, for example, when there is close contact between an infected person and an unprotected caregiver. However, limited transmission under such restricted circumstances does not indicate that the virus has gained the level of transmissibility among humans necessary to cause a pandemic.

Phase 4 is characterized by verified human-to-human transmission of an animal or human-animal influenza reassortant virus able to cause “community-level outbreaks.” The ability to cause sustained disease outbreaks in a community marks a significant upwards shift in the risk for a pandemic. Any country that suspects or has verified such an event should urgently consult with WHO so that the situation can be jointly assessed and a decision made by the affected country if implementation of a rapid pandemic containment operation is warranted. Phase 4 indicates a significant increase in risk of a pandemic but does not necessarily mean that a pandemic is a forgone conclusion.

Phase 5 is characterized by human-to-human spread of the virus into at least two countries in one WHO region. While most countries will not be affected at this stage, the declaration of Phase 5 is a strong signal that a pandemic is imminent and that the time to finalize the organization, communication, and implementation of the planned mitigation measures is short.

Phase 6, the pandemic phase, is characterized by community level outbreaks in at least one other country in a different WHO region in addition to the criteria defined in Phase 5. Designation of this phase will indicate that a global pandemic is under way."
