Can muslims get the swine flu ? :v:

[QUOTE=dual elites;14871815]Shitting Death Disease Of The Apocalypse[/QUOTE] Actually, if I recall correctly, it's also called SIV. But yours is much cooler. SDDA sounds bad.

[QUOTE=reeferdk;14871874]Can muslims get the swine flu ? :f:[/QUOTE] Why not? Because they don't eat pork? Because it's airborne you know

I think we're all gonna die. Bye garry, bye hezzy, bye dragon, bye pacific, bye pling, bye all :frown:

If you really want a better name, call it A/H1N1 flu. It's the name of the virus. Or the mexican flu.

[QUOTE=Kentz;14871917]Why not? Because they don't eat pork? Because it's airborne you know[/QUOTE] Your sarcasm detector is borked.

[QUOTE=dual elites;14871815]Shitting Death Disease Of The Apocalypse[/QUOTE] Hoglumps?

[quote=dual elites;14871815]shitting death disease of the apocalypse[/quote] Fuck yeah.

[QUOTE=|BIG$MONEY$BALLER|;14871951]Your sarcasm detector is borked.[/QUOTE] I think so too because I couldn't extract any sarcasm out of it.

[QUOTE=dual elites;14869652]Stop going omg omg omg omg i have a cold omg omg omg.[/QUOTE] It's like pandemic 2: *SNEEZE* OH GOD I HAVE HOGLUMPS! *Madagascar shuts down EVERYTHING*

[QUOTE=Jsm;14871780]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.[/QUOTE] They have enough for half the population. And I really doubt 30 million people will become infected.

[QUOTE=Deathbucket;14872114]It's like pandemic 2: *SNEEZE* OH GOD I HAVE HOGLUMPS! *Madagascar shuts down EVERYTHING*[/QUOTE] lol

Lots of ambulance arriving at my hospital. Oh god i'm getting paranoid.

[QUOTE=SAS0206;14872221]Lots of ambulance arriving at my hospital. Oh god i'm getting paranoid.[/QUOTE] Don't worry, as long as you have no contact with infected people, nothing will happen to you. It's NOT airborne. It only spreads over direct contact.

It isn't anything serious until you start hearing about thousands of people being infected in twentyfour hours anyway.

[QUOTE=dual elites;14872261]It isn't anything serious until you start hearing about thousands of people being infected in twentyfour hours anyway.[/QUOTE] There are only around 70 confirmed cases of the virus, the rest are not yet confirmed. But I get your point.

oh shit i live in south cali, and there are 8 cases nearby only about an mile away.

Well yeah, but from the sounds of it this thing is about to die out, loads of cases are being dismissed, even in Mexico.

It's been a pleasure knowing you guys...

[QUOTE=dual elites;14872389]Well yeah, but from the sounds of it this thing is about to die out, loads of cases are being dismissed, even in Mexico.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I already hear the WHO: "SORRY GUYS, FALSE ALARM, EVERYONE BACK TO WORK" :v:

Its obviously a bio-weapon to distract everyone.

Everyone post the closest case to you! 150~ miles away here! (both unconfirmed)

[QUOTE=SAS0206;14872581]Everyone post the closest case to you! 150~ miles away here! (both unconfirmed)[/QUOTE] Yes, let's help spread irrational fear :v:

70 miles, how dull.

HEY GUYZ! OBAMA SEZ DONT PANIK K? [url]http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/04/27/swine.flu/index.html[/url] Also here is what the first post should be: WHAT THE FUCK IS SWINE FLU?! Swine influenza virus (referred to as SIV) refers to influenza cases that are caused by Orthomyxoviruses endemic to pig populations. SIV strains isolated to date have been classified either as Influenzavirus C or one of the various subtypes of the genus Influenzavirus A. OK BUT AM I GOING TO DIE? Not likely. This type of flu strain has already come by in diffrent variants dating all the way back to 1918. There are a few drugs that have a positive impact against the virus after you get it (oseltamivir and zanamivir are the best for this strain). But as long as you take regular precautions (washing your hands and covering your nose when you sneeze) you will be fine and possibly not get it. WHAT DO I DO IF I HAVE FLU LIKE SYMPTOMS? First off you should go to a doctor or the hospital. They will most likely do some tests and send off specimens off to the CDC. If they say you have it, you will most likely be quarantined. Which brings us to our next section... WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I DO HAVE THE SWINE FLU! Plenty of rest and fluids. Also take your medicines like a man. SHOULD WE PANIC? No why the fuck would you do that? It isnt widespread and it is mild enough to fight off. BUT THE GOVERMENT ISSUED A PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY! The CDC jumped the gun there. Blame them. WHERE DO I GO TO GET MORE INFORMATION? You would want to go to the CDC website to get the most up to date info as all information will be coming from them.
