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

I got a cold today. But I'm pretty sure it's just a cold.

There has been a confirmed case in Dublin were I live.. Though the person is at home and is being treated with antibiotics and such.

To everyone who's saying "IT'S GETTING WORSE EVERYDAY OMG," Stop trying to scare & bully people into thinking this is some kind of zombie virus that everyone in every country of the world is going to get. It's not. We even had a Swine Flu scare like this before, in the early 1900's, that spread in Spain and caused a giant pandemic. But, common sense will tell you that we have much better health-care than we did in the 1900's. Trust me, even if there are more people in the US or any other country that get this virus, it's not going to be for long, since we'll probably find a vaccine. And even if we DON'T find a vaccine, I'm pretty sure that 1/10 of the people that actually catch Swine flu will actually die. Also, think about this: Mexico has much worse health care than everyone else. So we can probably find something that will stop the swine flu from spreading.

They actually just said on the radio this morning that they found a second case in Tennessee, and it was in Belmont where they shut down the high school. Unfortunately, I was at there yesterday as a guest speaker to the students, so I'm hoping I didn't get it.

[QUOTE=V3nom;14941956]And even if we DON'T find a vaccine, I'm pretty sure that 1/10 of the people that actually catch Swine flu will actually die.[/QUOTE] First of all, you don't find a vaccine. Second, try wording it in the positive to support your point.

Kansas City here, we just got a case in Platte City. It's kind of scary, considering we're overdue for a flu pandemic.

Where cna i get that map?

[QUOTE=Arachnidus;14931591]This isn't bacterial.[/QUOTE] I never said it was. Just because I said anti-biotics help, doesn't mean I'm calling it bacterial. [B]EDIT:[/B] Also, first case in my state. The person's already recovering. This flu is really lame.

Evert school district except mine has closed down. :dance:

We have 18 days of school and I actually WANT to go. I really hope my school doesn't get shut down :(

[QUOTE=rapperkid04;14943060]We have 18 days of school and I actually WANT to go. I really hope my school doesn't get shut down :([/QUOTE] I personally couldn't care anymore, so long as they don't cancel graduation ceremonies and the sort. (Which they would, of course.)

There's been a confirmed case of swine-flu in Denmark now too. Just saw it on Text-TV. Norway still has no confirmed cases, but a student is beeing checked atm, also according to text-tv. [B]Edit:[/B] Just saw the same on [url]www.vg.no[/url] - Jeg kan bekrefte at det er en danske som har testet positivt, sier overlege og nestformann i Pandemigruppen i Danmark, Else Smith, til Berlingske Tidende. Only relevant to danes/other scandinavians, so I ain't gonna bother translating. Google translate if you are curious. (It's in Norwegian.)

Four cases in Arizona now. Still (to my knowledge) none in my city.

A case has been found whilst the person hasn't been to mexico...

Watch some idiots think it is a government conspiracy. [img]http://d2k5.com/sa_emots/rolleyes.gif[/img]

[QUOTE=DarkWolf2;14943125]A case has been found whilst the person hasn't been to mexico...[/QUOTE] That was in Germany, I think. She had contact with an infected one, which came back from mexico.

[QUOTE=arienh4;14941107]Everyone [b]is[/b] psyched about it because we [b]don't[/b] have the medicine. Don't know where you got that from.[/QUOTE] We have medicine for it in Finland. And we get treatment for free.
