Definitive Swine Flu Thread (POST ABOUT IT HERE ONLY) - General

Arizona here, surprisingly, no reports here ether. If I see any though, I am going to buy a mask just for extra security.

[QUOTE=rosthouse;14886865]Did you have contact with infected people, people coming back from mexico or have you even been in mexico? If you say no to every question, it's just a normal cold.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure a few people went to Mexico recently. Facebook is your friend...

Swine Flu? Yeah, I invented that.

[QUOTE=Nintendo-Guy;14862654]Good thing i live in sweden.[/QUOTE] And me in Finland. We're safe... for now.

I'm not too worried since I'm all the way south in Chile. That said this sounds like a nasty virus. If all else fails, I've got a gun in the closet :v:

They've raised it to level 4 run for your life I'll most likely get it working in a supermarket and all

Maybe this is what the Mayans meant with '2012'

[QUOTE=CapDeadNinja;14890974]LOL I'm on Mexico City and still don't wear mask, situation is exaggerated a lot.[/QUOTE] im in culiacan, sinaloa, far away from mexico city and the people is over-acting, mass histeria i even have to wear a fucking mask, but there arent cases here. all school clasess are cancelled until may 6th, yay! they also had an earthquake in mexico city, they are so fucked haha... [QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;14891062]Too many people are overreacting I think. I have a runny nose, coughing, and slightly sore throat, but I'm not panicking. I think it's just allergies, they come out at this time of year. paranoia + allergies + influenza outbreak = people panic. [/QUOTE] you are right.

This will be almost as bad as sars.

Notice how China and the Middle East have no reported cases it's a bit suspicious.

[QUOTE=willhelmutt;14891655]Notice how China and the Middle East have no reported cases it's a bit suspicious.[/QUOTE] Yes. It's almost as if they are nowhere near Mexico.

My buddy in the army has had an army-issue gas mask for a few years. He's not using it, so if worse comes to worse I might grab that. Looks cooler than those pussy mouth-bags.

Way too late, but if the OP wants to add thread music: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NOYCzRzZIs[/media]

Don't we have a cure for this anyways?

No

News report from Moscow... First posssible Swine Flu infected - tourist from mexico, she already in quarantine.I t is not yet officially confirmed as Swine Flu but DAAAMN, we all know it is. I think week or more and we can say that "Safe place exists only in Fairy Tales" :(

[QUOTE=Thlis;14891683]Yes. It's almost as if they are nowhere near Mexico.[/QUOTE] If only humanity had some form of fast transportation. One that could conquer the skies, yet still be at the weather's mercy. It would revolutionize the way business is conducted. If only...

So, just to cheer this thread up. Some news: This morning a probe of the virus was sent from Bern (Switzerland) to Genf(more Switzerland). To keep the virus cold, the case was cooled with dry ice. For security reasons, the box stood under vacuum. But they put the dry ice INSIDE the vacuum, causing the box to explode near Fribourg (guess...). It was on a public train. For the passengers there was no danger at any time. :downs:

5 possible Swine Flu infections in Sweden :O WE'RE ALL GONERS! REPENT, REPENT!

No reports in the Netherlands... [i]YET.[/i]

Pah, everyone over exaggerates. I mean, lets face it, Mexico doesn't exactly have the world's best healthcare. Maybe those who died from the Swine Flu would've died from...anything else? Until someone actually dies in the US, there's probably nothing to fear. And those who are at risk are either really young, really old, or have immune system problems or something. All I know is, if my pets get sick, some pigs are ganna get turned into bacon :burger: ...Which I will donate to the soup kitchen.

That's the strange and scary thing about this virus.

Hezzy deserves RU for this.

[QUOTE=rosthouse;14891935]The virus attacks people in the age from 18-50, young and healthy people.

My point is that only the elderly/babies/diseased individuals will actually DIE from it. The rest will most likely just get sick, get better, then be done with it.

I'm 15, i hope i dont get it, it's definatly in U.K anyway...

Hey don't even worry about it guys, you know who the main stations broadcasting this SHIT are? FOX, MSNBC and CNN. Lets think about this, the most unreliable, fear mongering, republican stations are the only ones making this seem so bad, honestly it's all just trying to get you scared.

[QUOTE=Ubercharged;14892084]I'm 15, i hope i dont get it, it's definatly in U.K anyway...[/QUOTE] well its only in scottland so its not all bad
