Pandemic (Swine) Flu

[MovedGoalPosts]

Final Reminder based on the last couple of pages of posts: Debate the topic and subject matter. Don't resort to petty flaming and goading of others.

Usually in a debate like this sometimes its hard to keep calm tempers.......

Can someone tell me why we have order thousands of masks? They don’t even work!!
Waste of money. IMO this has all blown out of proportion, I’m not going to worry until someone in my city has it.

Correction, they DO if they are ordering FFP3 masks, which i am sure they will be.

You know, that for all your insistence this is a government weapon. It's pretty mild? Deaths seem to have only occurred in Mexico where it appears there were other factors such as poor health and poverty. It appears to be a lot milder elsewhere, basically a bad flu.

Kind of overreacting are you not?

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.

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

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

We're not going to ask again.

Debate the topic, NOT THE POSTER!

The next person that decides they would care to ignore this instruction will find themselves hit with the biggest infraction I'm allowed to issue.

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

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.

[jamiefrost]

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.

On the other hand a mutated virus would, I agree, be a problem - but that has been said about 'bird flu', arguably a much more lethal strain, and it hasn't happened yet?

I don't think anyone is denying the possibility of a potential 'killer flu virus', just that reacting to each potential candidate as if it were 'the one' is not realistic.

- the nearest to a pandemic 'killer virus' in living memory has been HIV, in my opinion.

There are still people alive from 1918

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