The Swine flu

[Nycle]

I'm surprised no one has made a thread about this yet.

After the bird flu, we now have the swine flu! So far, over 100 people in Mexico have died after being infected. Surprisingly, young and healthy adults have a pretty big share in this. Some institutions like the WHO are concerned that the outbreak might lead to a pandemic.

Death tolls of pandemics in the past:

- 1918 Spanish flu: 50 million
- 1957 Asian flu: 2 million
- 1968 Hong Kong flu: 1 million (last pandemic)

So, should we be scared? I know there's at least 1 doctor sniffing around on this forum (Epi), I'm curious as to what your thoughts are on this subject.

There is no vaccine for H1N1 Swine Flu because it is a relatively new strain.

Merged with the other post.

So in noting you also eat fast food...Wendy's...uhg such crap to be putting into your body, I guess that you fall into that fatty pig category?

30 cents for a processed slice of cheese...you'd be better off eating Wendy's w/o the cheese and ditch the bleached flour roll it's on!

The Bad News

Swine flu, similar to the 1918 Spanish flu is it seems to be most deadly in the 18-30 age group who have a strong immune system.

The Good News

Nerds like us will have the highest likelihood of survival due to our lack of close contact with other people (and thus reduced risk of catching this thing) and poor diet and health (so weaker immune system) :P

The News they haven't told you

It will most likely disappear in the summer as heat disables the virus, but still allows it to spread...You need to start worrying in October if it makes a return then.

pork is probably the worst meat you could ever eat anyway, I'm surprised this flu thing didn't start years ago in that filthy country

These damn farmers feed their pigs pork and shit like that, its the same as they did to cows that created mad cow disease. They pump them full of steroids and feed natural grazing animals meat, what the fuck do you expect will happen? Its not natural for a fucking cow or a pig to eat beef and pork. You fuck with nature like that and it will bite you in the ass. I hope a lot of these fucking farmers that do this stupid shit die from eating that crap, and the FDA learns to regulate this shit. 99% of the food at the grocery stores are poison to your body anyway, considering the chemicals they put in almost EVERYTHING you eat. Also, most people don't have the money to go to farmers markets to buy fresh food that isn't artificially enhanced.

Wanna know why americans get so fat? Look up MSG. Its common knowledge it kills you slowly, but its not common knowledge that its an addictive drug similiar to nicotine. The FDA doesn't regulate it, and companies are allowed to put as much MSG in their products as they want, and do not have to label it on the food. 99% of the food you eat here has it for instance. People are addicted to food because we put drugs in them to MAKE them addicted. Go figure.

The FDA was recently looking at ways to control problems, not swine flu, but other related FDA probs, such as salmonella. Not that it will happen, but they had made mention of making farmers market/produce stands illegal and to possibly put a stop to backyard vegetable gardens.

On the flip side of the FDA argument in regards to this issue, they then would be able to control the produce coming in and out of the country and especially push forward the genetic altered vegetation they want everyone to buy into.

So as for that addititive of drugs that the FDA is in favor of....look for it to expand as we see the loss of free range and organic grown livestock and produce.

Got my first swine flu warning a few days before it was in the media. As far as I know, they are still not sure if this is transmissible human-to-human or if it is only pig to human. But it would be pretty weird if it weren't human-to-human considering I doubt all those travelers to Mexico visited farms.

We still don't know too much about this yet, I hope it doesn't become another SARS. For anyone who lived through SARS in a SARS infested city, you know what I mean. Luckily it seems this swine flu is treatable with current antivirals for flu like Tamiflu, which was unlike SARS which could not be treated by anything.
