[NEWS] New flu on the rise!

[Brago]

Zomg, someone said a few rats with the bubonic plague was taken from a lab.. maybe the people mutated it.. and stuck it on pigs in mexico... zomg!

[Zen]

This is pathetic, the WHO is being pathetic, everyone over reacting, and I know it's cause some guy behind the scenes decided to go "hmm, there's a new flu, lets make money over it!" That or the government(s) went "oooh, a new way to get even more power!!!"

joey bro.. i think its ok to over react, innocent people are dying over this money making scheme, its downright evil
if this misguided reaction was directed toward the people responsoble than that would be a beautifull thing to see.

Do you really think they have vaccines?
It takes a lot longer than a few days to create one.

They do have antiviral drugs though, but those are something else.

[Snoopy]

^Yep. To my knowledge all there is, is anti-viral drugs.

As I had posted before:

Anti-viral Stockpiles as % Per population:-

• Mexico - 1%
• USA - 25%
• Canada - 17%
• Brazil - 5%
• New Zealand - 29%
• Czech Republic - 20%
• Italy - 7%
• Spain - 25%
• Britain - 50%
• Norway - 33%
• Germany - 18%
• Austria - 50%
• France - 52%
• Japan - 45%
• Australia - 43%

they have/had stockpiles of avian flu (bird flu) vaccines which can be used to treat swine flu.

[Snoopy]

Is there a vaccine for swine flu?

The seasonal flu jab given to the elderly over the winter months works well against human flu viruses, but is unlikely to be effective against swine flu. The World Health Organisation will decide whether to divert resources from manufacturing regular flu vaccine into making swine flu vaccine.

Is there a human vaccine to protect against swine influenza?

There are no vaccines that contain the current swine influenza virus causing illness in humans. It is not known whether current human seasonal influenza vaccines can provide any protection. Influenza viruses change very quickly. It is important to develop a vaccine against the currently circulating virus strain for it to provide maximum protection to the vaccinated people. This is why WHO needs access to as many viruses as possible in order to select the most appropriate candidate vaccine virus.

Point in case, Silo.

---------------------------------------------

It's one thing to joke about people being worried and over-reacting but posting fake shit like a vaccine and saying "OMG WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE" just makes you an insensitive dick. Will it be funny when you or one of your loved ones get it? Someone you know who was already ill from the start then gets this? I have a friend in this situation and I'm worried for her safety since the flu is where she lives. The dickatry is spreading around on srf faster then the flu.

Really, it's not humorous in the least.

Hmm dikatry interesting word.

On another note looks like there has been a confirmed case in my area. Starting to get a bit worried now =\.

Mexico is preparing for a five-day shutdown of parts of its economy in a bid to slow the spread of swine flu.

O.o

They changed the name of swine-flu cause egyptains started slaughtering there pigs... So its new name is the techinal name H1N1 Influenza A... (Some people said they slaughtered and fed it to some people of different religions to get them out of the area)

AUSTIN, Texas — Texas officials postponed all public high school athletic and academic competitions on Wednesday until May 11 because of the swine flu outbreak.

The move suspends the baseball and softball seasons and eliminates the regional track championships that were to start Friday, said Charles Breithaupt, executive director of the University Interscholastic League. He said league officials acted on the recommendation of public health officials.

Nice. "Eliminates regional track championship". Um, do they plan to let all the kids that qualified for regionals through to the state track meet?

Maybe they'll postpone finals... I could use some more time to study.

EDIT 2: Doesn't make sense really. Why cancel sporting events, they should be canceling school if anything. Seems to me there would be a much higher chance of coming in contact with it at school..

Last Edit lol: After even more digging it appears they are trying to reschedule it instead of a complete cancellation now. Good thing, would have unfairly eliminated a lot of kids.

[Melez]

The red color of your letters made me infected.

[NuclearSilo]

but why do all think that this disease comes from pig? Maybe it's from smt else?

[SneakyBanana]

To be honest i dont give a toss, this bacon buddy is fecking awesome.

[DarkJackal]

but why do all think that this disease comes from pig? Maybe it's from smt else?

Because it's called "swine flu" and ppl are retarded.


Dunno if it's true just checked around on google.

"It started as a pig virus, but has mutated over the years and combined with bird and human DNA to cross species. The current virus no longer comes from pigs, and pigs are not a threat."

I'm sure they didn't just find a random flu disease and call it swine for nothin though, still stupid to fear all pigs from it though.

[Disconn3cted]

So swine flu has already been caused before..

History repeats itself .. :O

yup and heres the propoganda from back in the day to get the yummy vaccines
Code: Select all

the second one was hilarious "but dotty had a heart condition and she died"

[Psychedeelic]

whats so funny about someone's death?
I've totally lost my sense of humour I guess

and I dont understand the name either, it's a combination between bird flu, swine flu and human flu as far as I got it bird-o-pig-o-human flu lol

Guess I lost my sense of humor when it came to that last line too.

[Psychedeelic]

seriously I'm just amazed how people really believe this happened just like that and not alot of them realised yet that this virus has been created and released on purpose. you'll never hear that on TV.

"swine flu" has been present since forever, but this is a hybrid and not alot of people get it. and if it was naturally created how the hell it did it take the worse genes from every type?
