am i going to die

[QUOTE=FratelliProductionsV4;14895416]am i going to die[/QUOTE] Hopefully yes :downs:

I don't know why there are many people who say "Oh shi I have a swine flu". At the moment there are only around 2500 infected out of 1037 million ( Estimated USA + Europe ). What are the chances that you are infected? I know, there are chances, but it seems that some are little paranoid ( including me )

Gasmasks time people! Det är den temme folk!

my physics teacher says its a load of shit. he also thinks there a cure for cancer (but the gouvernments wont give it to us) and that AIDS doesnt exist...

[QUOTE=spaghettiarms;14895650]my physics teacher says its a load of shit. he also thinks there a cure for cancer (but the gouvernments wont give it to us) and that AIDS doesnt exist...[/QUOTE] Technically there is a cure of cancer via radio/chaemotherapy.

well, It looks like if the worst comes to the worst, i live in a area sparsly dense enough to handle infections but dense enough to get medical help easily. i'm alright jack

[QUOTE=spaghettiarms;14895650]my physics teacher says its a load of shit. he also thinks there a cure for cancer (but the gouvernments wont give it to us) and that AIDS doesnt exist...[/QUOTE] Wow, what a timely quote! [img]http://www.phdcomics.com/comics/archive/phd042009s.gif[/img] Oh, and AIDS does exist. Are you sure he's not just poking fun?

yeah, male science teachers normaly aren't very serious in this day and age.

[QUOTE=Nintendo-Guy;14862654]Good thing i live in sweden.[/QUOTE] sweden and europe sucks, America wins again.

[QUOTE=WW_Veteran;14895826]sweden and europe sucks, America wins again.[/QUOTE] Sure it does, what with your 64 confirmed cases.

Speaking of Pandemic 2, I managed to get into Brasil when it was closed and all the airports and docks were closed.

yeah America is going to die first europe will withdraw as many links as possable with america and then if america recovers its a 3rd world country

whats the book

Here comes once again the EU vs US shitstorm... It seems that everybody here is a ticking time bomb, a little spark and everybody starts insulting the other side of the ocean.

[QUOTE=Kingy_who;14895873]land bourders[/QUOTE] Closed.

[QUOTE=acds;14895925]Here comes once again the EU vs US shitstorm... It seems that everybody here is a ticking time bomb, a little spark and everybody starts insulting the other side of the ocean.[/QUOTE] only say those things when the argument has started, you US faggot

Worst case scenario now is that it dies down [i]then[/i] mutates into a more deadly strain, just in time for the winter flu season.

[QUOTE=lazyguy;14895958]Closed.[/QUOTE] yeah but you might get one brakage of an infected person who doesn't know yet, running away from everyone else.

[QUOTE=Kingy_who;14895959]only say those things when the argument has started, you US faggot[/QUOTE] It has already started. And I'm in no way American, I'm 25% English and 75% Italian (excluding all the minor stuff).

[QUOTE=DigitalySane;14894897][highlight][b]INFO THANKS TO BBC[/b][/highlight] HOW SWINE FLU OUTBREAK EMERGED [img]http://news.bbc.co.uk/nol/shared/bsp/hi/dhtml_slides/09/swine_flu/img/slide01.gif[/img] Flu viruses mutate over time causing small changes to proteins on their surface called antigens. If the immune system has met a particular strain of the virus before, it is likely to have some immunity; but if the antigens are new to the immune system, it will be weakened. [img]http://news.bbc.co.uk/nol/shared/bsp/hi/dhtml_slides/09/swine_flu/img/slide02.gif[/img] The influenza A virus can mutate in two different ways; antigenic drift, in which existing antigens are subtly altered, and antigenic shift, in which two or more strains combine. Antigenic drift causes slight flu mutations year on year, from which humans have partial, but not complete, immunity. By contrast, the new strain of H1N1 appears to have originated via antigenic shift in Mexican pigs [img]http://news.bbc.co.uk/nol/shared/bsp/hi/dhtml_slides/09/swine_flu/img/slide03.gif[/img] The name "swine flu" is a slight misnomer as it is believed pigs acted as a mixing pot for several flu strains, containing genetic material from pigs, birds and humans. Most humans have never been exposed to some of the antigens involved in the new strain of flu, giving it the potential to cause a pandemic. [img]http://news.bbc.co.uk/nol/shared/bsp/hi/dhtml_slides/09/swine_flu/img/slide04.gif[/img] The new virus has made the jump from pigs to humans and has demonstrated it can also pass from human to human. This is why it is demanding so much attention from health authorities. The virus passes from human to human like other types of flu, either through coughing, sneezing, or by touching infected surfaces, although little is known about how the virus acts on humans.[/QUOTE] Wahey! I wasn't far off at all! :D That's certainly a lot better than mine though. It should go in the OP.
