As of this morning, there's a 20/300,000,000 chance you'll get, and a 100% chance you'll recover fully if you do.

Wish the media wouldn't try and freak people out over nothing.

Well, from what I understand the Bird Flu wasn't able to spread from person to person.The swine flu can and is."

Yeah it's a good point!

My point was that they said 'bird flu could kill millions', it didn't. At all. Unless we're talking about birds."
bird flu can still kill millions if it mutates so that it is infectious between humans, that never happened...
unfortunately it HAS happened with swine flu, thus all the big hulabaloo of it having the potential to become a deadly pandemic disease 


positive swine flu tests on 2 people in scotland now

Scottish Health Secretary Nicola Sturgeon said: "Tests have demonstrated conclusively that the two Scottish cases of swine flu are positive."

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon said: "We are concerned that this virus could cause a new influenza pandemic. It could be mild, in its effects, or potentially be severe. We do not yet know which way it will go. But we are concerned that, in Mexico, most of those who died were young and healthy adults.

Thousands of people die every year from the regular human flu.  Swine Flu has killed...what... barely a hundred.  =/

Joke Flu confirmed.  Just another media exaggeration.  Yeah its probably deadly but so is the regular Flu if it isn't treated.  Plus the media is acting like this is The Plague V2 just like with the bird flu which nothing happened.

I find it funny how the world goes crazy and looses its shit everytime a small amount of people die from a random disease. Nothin' will happen. Some people will get it and if their country is respectable they'll be in hospital for a week or two then be out and within 2 months everyone will forget about it.

It's not about the amount of people that die, it's about the percentage. Normal flu kills ten's of thousands of people per year by infecting the entire population, this flu has killed over a hundred by infecting only a few hundred. If it infected on the same scale as normal flu, literally millions would die.

I saw some guy from the CDC on CNN this morning and he said every confirmed case in the USA has been treated and they're fine. People in Mexico are having a little harder time.

It is starting to look a little worrying as things stand at the moment. The media do have a history of exaggerating though. If this thing blows up though, there's no fucking way I'm getting on a train and going to university -- both are the worst possible places to catch things.

After reading a lot of these comments im drawn to the conclusion that nobody gives a shit about these things anymore even though it's blaintantly obvious that it's more serious. I remember that when bird flu was all the rage it was top headlines for a week that A SWAN HAD DIED!!!!!!! but a lot of people have already died due to this flu which is far more contagiuos than bird flu. Bla Bla Bla.

Yeah it's a case of crying wolf. Then again, you can never be quite sure how much the media is blowing things up.

Yes, if you read my previous post (which got put on the end of a page! i hate it when that happens, means no one will ever see it)

I said earlier, that i was super worried about Bird Flu way back...but it did fuck all really, but since people can catch this, my worry is somewhat more rational...but it's still blown out of proportion.

I have to say though, from what I'm hearing certainly in the UK, the world has gone on alert pretty fast and they seem to be doing everything possible to crack down on it as quickly as they can. Which is reassuring to say the least.

You would think the world would learn how to handle things better from the last wide spread disease.

Washing your hands with soap and hot water probably helps.

My mother is a micro-biologist and she has told me that this "epidemic" will be negligible to any country with a strong health care system which, like it or not, is the U.S.. Also, if you have a strong immune system with exercise and a good diet, this seriously won't be a problem. Death shouldn't be a big worry in the states.

Swine flu was engineered. Part of the New World Order is to reduce the population of the Earth. They, the NWO, are trying to create a super virus.

That's why this thing showed up in several places of the world at once. It is not natural, it was put there by the authorities. This is a bioweapon, and no vaccine will work against it.
