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

[QUOTE=Onsube;14983342]Swine Flu is overhyped and anyone who thinks it's dangerous should see the normal flu that infects and kills thousands of people a day.[/QUOTE] Anyone with a brain knows that the virus can mutate into something more deadly. If there was a vaccine there would be nothing to worry about.

Oh where would this world be without the armchair physicians at Facepunch? This H1N1 strain is a deadly respiratory illness. In this case, your body would not be able to hold oxygen supply, and would hold turgid amount of carbon dioxide. The other problem is that this disease is spreading like wild fire. People (like me *flex*) that are young and have strong immune system with zero complications can die from this.

[QUOTE=High Air Flow;14984555]this disease is spreading like wild fire.[/QUOTE] holy shit, there are like 100 people in the world infected with it never mind the 5 million people a day that are infected with AIDS, right? that's not nearly as overhyped as swine flu, or should I say, faggot flu

Let me make this very clear...... STOP COMPARING THIS VERY RECENT OUTBREAK OF A NEW STRAIN OF H1N1 TO AIDS YOU FUCKING RUBE!

[QUOTE=High Air Flow;14984682]Oh, so you're a troll. Good to know.[/QUOTE] Actually you're just a moron seriously I've been on these forums for four years, you don't have shit to your name

In my opinion everyone has blown this way out of proportion, the media make it sound much bigger and worse than it really is. People are scared now, when they don't have good reason to be.

[QUOTE=Wakka;14983867]Anyone with a brain knows that the virus can mutate into something more deadly.[/QUOTE] Are we confusing the capacity to do so with actually doing so? Any virus has the capacity to develop a more lethal strain. No point in worrying about one relatively harmless one when you've got all the other already dangerous ones to be bothered with.

if it was in your area (northwest) would you go to college?

[QUOTE]Egypt pig farmers clash with police 13 hours ago A dozen people have been injured as police and armoured cars have charged into a crowd of a 1,000 irate Egyptian pig farmers armed with stones and bottles. Fourteen demonstrators were arrested as residents of a Cairo slum resisted government efforts to slaughter the nation's pigs to guard against swine flu. Cairo security chief Major General Ismail Shaer said seven police were among the injured in the clashes with largely Christian garbage collectors who raise pigs in the Manishyet Nasr area. The farmers blocked the road leading to their pig pens and hurled rocks and bottles at police, who responded by charging them in armoured cars and firing tear gas. Some 200 policemen then surrounded the neighbourhood backed by a half dozen police trucks. Egypt's government last week ordered the slaughter of all the country's 300,000 pigs even though no cases of swine flu have been reported in the country. The World Health Organisation has said the move was unnecessary because the virus was being spread through humans. Authorities have now expanded the rationale for the slaughter beyond swine flu to a larger campaign against unsanitary pig farming conditions, particularly in the Cairo slums where the garbage collectors live. The campaign has been met from the start by protests and resistance from pig owners. The consumption and raising of pigs is largely restricted to the country's Christian minority, estimated at 10% of the population as Muslims consider pork unclean and generally do not eat it.[/QUOTE] copied from The Press Association. Is it just me, or are the egyptians retarded? Poor country whith no known cases of swine flu kills their cattle = more poverty and starvation. I mean.... about 20 dead last I heard, and some thousand infected IN MEXICO. And the danger is if the virus can spread from man to man and not pig to man? It's pretty hard for cattle spreading a virus since they don't travel the world that much. That is unless they have problems with illegal mexican imigrant pigs in Egypt. Hopefully they will all starve to death and clean the human geenepool a bit by removing themselves from it.

[url]http://bouncewith.me.uk/europe/8027043.htm[/url] wtf [quote=BBC] EU quarantines London in flu panic. There has been a small outbreak of “zombism” in London due to mutation of the H1N1 virus into new strain: H1Z1. Similar to a scare originally found in Cambodia back in 2005, victims of a new strain of the swine flu virus H1N1 have been reported in London. After death, this virus is able to restart the heart of it’s victim for up to two hours after the initial demise of the person where the individual behaves in extremely violent ways from what is believe to be a combination of brain damage and a chemical released into blood during “resurrection.” The World Health Organization (WHO) has raised the alert to phase six, its highest level, and advised governments to activate pandemic contingency plans. In Mexico, the epicentre of the outbreak, President Felipe Calderon urged people to stay at home over the next five days. There are many cases elsewhere - including the US, Canada, Latin America, Europe, Israel, and New Zealand. BBC health correspondent Mark McGrith says the raising of the WHO alert on Wednesday suggests a global epidemic, or pandemic, is imminent. The Netherlands confirms its first case of zombie swine flu, in a three-year-old boy recently returned from Mexico. After passing away early this morning, he rose from the dead and lunged at his mother. Ghana has become the latest country to ban pork imports as a precaution against swine flu, though no cases have been found in the West African country China's health minister says that the country's scientists have developed a "sensitive and fast" test for spotting swine flu in conjunction with US scientists and the WHO. The country has recorded no incidence of the flu yet. There methods, however, have been uneffective in spotting the H1Z1 strain. It is unclear whether the EU executive has the power to impose a travel ban. Several countries have restricted travel to Mexico and many tour operators have cancelled holidays. Other members are resisting calls to implement travel bans or close borders, on the grounds - backed by the WHO - that there is little evidence of their efficacy. The EU ministers will also try to agree on how to refer to the new virus. The European Commission has been calling it "novel flu", replacing the word "swine" to avoid prompting a fall in demand for pork and bacon. On Wednesday, Egypt began a mass slaughter of its pigs - even though the WHO says the virus was now being transmitted from human to human. [/QUOTE] is this real?
