Re: Pandemic (Swine) Flu

Does anyone know how this flu actually "kills" ...so far all the symptoms appear to be mild just like a bad cold?

I'm assuming it would affect those with respiratory problems a lot worse than healthy people and lead to death in the weak

Essentially it's just like normal flu.

Re: Pandemic (Swine) Flu

It seems the danger maybe over. The mexican government says it's spread is declining and the WHO is now describing it as a seasonal flu, and are warning people to be vigilant in case it comes back..

Re: Pandemic (Swine) Flu

OMG i survived it i am invincible no new world order is getting me that easy blah blah blah. So there we go then not the end of the world not some great masterpiece of planning to control the world population . But i fully expect those conspiracy sites to come up with a reason for it no doubt this virus is so well engineered it knows we will now relax and lull ourselves into a false sense of security ready in a few months time for "SWINE FLU 2 THE RETURN".

Maybe it was a test after all. and because they knew we knew they were testing. they changed their mind?

Re: Pandemic (Swine) Flu

Just checking in after the weekend to check all members are still alive.

I see the "pandemic" in this country has reached critical mass with 27 cases.

Try not to panic now that 0.00004% of the population are infected.

At this rate you're 3,200 times more likely to develop multiple sclerosis. Don't panic though.

We're gonna develop what now? If I wear a mask will that protect me? Why isn't this being reported? Where can I get a jab? Which ethnic group/terrorist organisation/government party is responsible for this new illness? Is it worse that swine flu? Will we all die?
