I haven't read that much into it, but what differentiates this "epidemic" with the bird flu one?"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!
"wonder how colbert and the daily show will spin this.hmm i bet it will!...and bloody needed, with this worrying everyone on TOP of the economy...dude...we're fucked!could be hilarious"
Yes
"Oriental_Jams said:My point was that they said 'bird flu could kill millions', it didn't. At all. Unless we're talking about birds."If it's anything like bird flu, almost nothing will happen.""
"JudgeDread said:bird flu can still kill millions if it mutates so that it is infectious between humans, that never happened..."Oriental_Jams said:My point was that they said 'bird flu could kill millions', it didn't.

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.

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.
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.

"Has this hit europe yet?"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.
"Pie said:"Dethfish77 said:Well that was my only precaution so I guess I'm screwed now.""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."Water doent help at all."
Yes, you are 100% going to die now.

Noun
hulabaloo
- (colloquial) hoo-ha, fuss
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.

Oh yeah, I've been waiting for this one :D
"Whats the latest news someone?"Well i was just watching BBC News here in the UK, there was a guy giving the hard facts, and well, it was really reassuring
I am totally stoked about swine flu. All the cool kids are doing it, and I want to be cool.
