Remember Last year when the World Health Organisation was saying "Oh no, a Pig related virus has started to mutate and infect some humans in Mexico" and then the whole world had a total complete and utter shitstorm about it thinking that it was all going to kill us and it will end the world in 2012 and various other stupid conspiracy theories done by various crazy Texan radio hosts saying it's all a government plan to kill the poor?
Yeah, that totally killed us all didn't it? This just goes to show how gullible the world is. Even though there was the exact same reaction from Bird Flu. "Oh No Influenza is going to kill a 1st world country!" No it isn't stupid.
Look at the figures which I got from Wikipedia.
[B]2009 H1N1 outbreak:[/B] 208 countries infected, 13,554 dead.
[B]1918 H1N1 Spanish Flu:[/B] 500 million infected, 100 million killed.
There have been various other viruses that have been coined by the Government Controlled media as world threatening. But in the end it has all just been the Government tactic of "Fear Mongering", which is used by all non-dictatorship governments to get the people to re-vote for them. Same with "The War on Terror".
So, next time you see a news article about H2N7 or whatever in the newspaper or on the Television, don't worry, it's just the people at the top trying to control you.

Fuck swine flu
There were about 40,000 deaths.
But not too much, considering the world has 6 billion people.

Exactly, so now, more and more people are going to stop worrying about "flu outbreaks" so then eventually when an actually dangerous flu comes along, the boy who cried wolf effect kicks in and the human race will get wiped out.

At least the Spanish Flu did not break out.
We all know it was mainly overhype, this is nothing new.
I haven't been vaccinated.
That's a good TL;DR.
I tend to go with "my mate almost got arrested for mapping his school in CS:S".
It's fucking funny when someone snipes and makes an arse of himself.

Yes, us clever people knew this, but a surprising number of Facepunch users do not.
It's kinda true, Swine Flu was a bit of a joke, but perhaps because we jumped all the fucking way down its throat, it didn't do as much damage as it could have. If we hadn't, would we all be dead now? The world may never know :fuckyou:
Still, I'd like to see the world get all worked up over AIDS again like back in the 80s and 90s, and not some avian/swine/dromedary flu :D

I don't suppose it's occurred to you that maybe the effects of Swine Flu were minimal BECAUSE of the extensive efforts of the WHO?

That's what a STI does.

Yeah, I know they were trying and doing quite a good job. But because the WHO were doing such a good job, the people of the world wouldn't need anything concern apart from those who live in 3rd world countries.
It was the medias fault for the shit storm
Why was it immediately called a pandemic? Whatever happened to the work epidemic?
:frown: I miss it
