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

People, calm down. Let's see what we've got. We know from 7 confirmed cases of deaths releated to swine flu. And from about 110 confirmed cases of infected people. The 2100 possibly infected people in mexico city don't need to be actuall infected people. It could be panic releated. So, what does Level 5 mean? Basicly it says that there are confirmed deaths in more than the country where the outbreak happened. 1 death in another country than mexico caused the level to raise, and that's what happened. Level 5 is still not an outbreak of a pandemia. That will happen after Level 6. What you can do now: -Get your facts from official sources. Media tend to overexagerate. -Follow the instructions of your gouverment. They are not your enemy, they are here to help you -If you got symptoms, don't panic. If you are scared, call your family doctor. Do NOT run to the next hospital

[QUOTE=markg06;14916571]I'd rather this be extremely boring then people dying everywhere, especialyl seeing as a potential vaccine is weeks away.[/QUOTE] No you see if everyone but four people got infected this would be very cool. [b]Edit:[/b] and if one of the four survivors were me and a girl, I'd definitely lose my virginity.

Yeah but this is a serious disease and we HAVE a vaccine, we just don't have enough for everyone sick if it gets worse.

[QUOTE=Mastercalvin;14916589]Yeah but this is a serious disease and we HAVE a vaccine, we just don't have enough for everyone sick if it gets worse.[/QUOTE] No we don't, a vaccine is hopefully weeks away to provide us with some protection what most first world countries have at the minuite is large stockpiles of Tamiflu and Relezna.

[QUOTE=AaronsOnCrack;14916574]no, but when we all turn into mutated pigs, ill be laughing, in the safety of my bunker, drinking an ice cold beer, playing blackjack with strippers.[/QUOTE] seriously stop, you're not funny.

[QUOTE=PudgyFistPro;14916577]The mortality rate for it is low, between 1-2%. The problem is if it spreads, many will die due to the large human population. The numbers will be immense, but you have to remember most of them will be in 3rd world countries and the [b]healthy aged 20 to 45[/b] No need to panic, just contain it.[/QUOTE] Fixed. Also it is now impossible to contain in the USA and Mexico.

Since human to human spreading has occurred in more than more country, it's level got increased. Deaths have nothing to do with it.

Wow this thread is popular, I wonder what facepunch threads are going to look like if WWIII happens, or if a giant meteor has a 90% chance to hit earth.

fuck this, its going to die out in around 3 days and everyone will go back to normal, this thread will die, and nobody will care.

God dammit idiots stop confusing vaccines for antivirals

[QUOTE=RJ102;14916668]I'm going to punch you.[/QUOTE] Why? Because people are stupid?

The main symptom of this virus is death. If you have death, you know you have the virus. The post-death symptoms include rising from the dead as a pig-human with an endless, insatiable thirst for the beating hearts of small children and becoming Mexican.

[QUOTE=AaronsOnCrack;14916611]Left4Dead SwineMod anybody?[/QUOTE] That'd be boring. All the infected would just be dead rag dalls.
