[QUOTE=wildturkey50;14866485][img]http://tiklakapinda.com/images/centrum.jpg[/img] Take. Vitamins. :)[/QUOTE] Pills here, good thing I have plenty of pills already. :P So if you have decent medical attention when you get this early on, what are the risks?

In all honesty I'm petrified, and if someone dies of it in the UK, i'll be even more scared.

[QUOTE=Click Here;14870590]In all honesty I'm petrified, and if someone dies of it in the UK, i'll be even more scared.[/QUOTE] You're scared of a flu that health officials have already said can be treated quite well with anti-flu medication, which the UK has huge stockpiles of?

oh yes, like pills can solve everything :\

[QUOTE=Zetta Spork;14870547]Pills here, good thing I have plenty of pills already. :P So if you have decent medical attention when you get this early on, what are the risks?[/QUOTE] Some wikipasta [quote=Swine flu]The seasonal flu tends to kill just a fraction of 1% of those infected. In Mexico, about 71 deaths out of roughly 1,000 cases represents a fatality rate of about 7.1%. The Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, had a fatality rate of about 2.5%.[/quote] Most of the deaths are caused by a pneumonia, and not by the virus itself. If you get the flu, you should stay at home, look that the climatic condition around you is good. Or just do what the doctors say to you, obviously.

[QUOTE=Bad)-(and;14870638]You're scared of a flu that health officials have already said can be treated quite well with anti-flu medication, which the UK has huge stockpiles of?[/QUOTE] I have a fear of getting ill. A strong fear of getting ill.

Bring out the shotguns people. We have a zombie apocalypse to deal with.

[url]http://news.yahoo.com/s/time/20090427/hl_time/08599189402900[/url] For those who are wondering why swine flu is scary... According to this article, the human immune system is not very effective against most diseases gotten from animals. (hence why avian flu was scary)

Two people in Denmark are suspected of having it so far. Poor people... who have to be near those suckers. :v:

The swine flu you say... If I get infected do I become a pirate?

Atleast I live 2 steps away from a hospital. woo

[QUOTE=SherpaMurphy;14870972]The swine flu you say... If I get infected do I become a pirate?[/QUOTE] It turns you into a pig pirate.

[QUOTE=SAS0206;14871292]Atleast I live 2 steps away from a hospital. woo[/QUOTE] Wouldn't that be a very bad thing if it got out of hand? Just imagine, everyone there would get infected, and would go crazy and try to escape. Now you have a hospital sized amount of infected people two steps away.

It is amazing how well pandemic II is made now that we can see an (possibly) upcoming real one. Countries shutting down schools etc. Also, I'm reeeaaally fucking scared of this :geno:

Wow, that live map is rather scary, pandemic II looks so much like it. [QUOTE=SAS0206;14871436]I also own a 30-30 aswell as a crossbow.[/QUOTE] Ah, well you are fine then.

[QUOTE=Zetta Spork;14871309]It turns you into a pig pirate.[/QUOTE] Well that's dissapointing.

Would be freaky if I saw them unloading boxes say "H1N1 SWINE FLU VACCINE"

[QUOTE=SAS0206;14871627]Would be freaky if I saw them unloading boxes say "H1N1 SWINE FLU VACCINE"[/QUOTE] How about boxes saying GUNS?

All of the cases in the U.S. were successfully treated. I'm not worried.

[QUOTE=Croix;14871710]How about boxes saying GUNS?[/QUOTE] I'd go over and steal a few.

You all worry to much, I have a song about worrying for you. Don't worry, bee happy. [Media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GM8c4wOy-iQ[/media]

It seems that about 900 of the suspected cases in Mexico are actually healthy. Source: [url]http://www.iltalehti.fi/ulkomaat/200904269481302_ul.shtml[/url] ( In Finnish )

They should rename it to something cooler then swine flu.

[QUOTE=SAS0206;14871627]Would be freaky if I saw them unloading boxes say "H1N1 SWINE FLU VACCINE"[/QUOTE] Vaccine will not be around till july.

[QUOTE=Bad)-(and;14870638]You're scared of a flu that health officials have already said can be treated quite well with anti-flu medication, which the UK has huge stockpiles of?[/QUOTE] The BBC said the UK has a stockpile of flu stuff thats worth £500m, I then wondered how much it all costs, that could be enough just for one person.
