swine flu.

well, i'm here in san antonio, texas, one of the two cities here in the u.s.a. to have an outbreak of this new strain of virus.
it starting to not look good people!
i don't know and nobody else does either... is this going to be the great pandemic that will kill millions worldwide?
we well all find out soon!

 

i live in cali, i dono where it was that got it hear, but im pretty sure its not where i live. south cali to be correct. hope it gets contained :/

 

there are already a few threads about this.

 

CDC says it's not possible to contain.

 

they said unlikely, not impossible

but yeah its not good...it killed i think it was 64 people in mexico and got 1000 people there seriusly sick...

 

Ive been coughing all over the veggies in th market I want people to get as sick as I did..
fuck this species!!

 

well i hate to tell you this sobebella, but it hit san diego, and you can't get much more southern california then that!

your right on orison... let's get rid of all humans now!
on a serious note though. i'm praying that this virus burns itself out quickly! i even hate to think, that this, might be looking like the spainish flu of 1918, or the black death of the middle ages.
i just hate seeing anyone suffer!

the state has closed one of the schools here in san antonio. (that is where the outbreak here in texas started.) the health department has ask everyone tied in with that school, to stay home and not go out anywhere.

i just got back from the supermarket and, they are sold out of masks and gloves.
the clerk told me that yesterday, they had people rushing into the pharmacy demanding flu shots.
yeah, people are now starting to get scared shitless here!
these poor dumb scared souls, don't even understand, there is no vaccine for this virus and, it will take months before one is ready.
that is just the way people are though, when their scared shitless.

back in 1968, i lived through the diphthedria outbreak here in san antonio. i was hoping, i would never live through this type of shit again in my life time! well here i am in it again. such is the way of life

Jesus H, this shit spreads fast. Mexico- New York- New Zealand??
Or is it just that everyone went to Cancun for their spring break?
Seriously, it's disturbing.

my post on 4/19 and I said Ive been sick for 4 days.. Im still sick.. its the 26th..
Thats now 11 days.

your all gona die..:willy_nilly:

 

Eep! Take care of yourself there.

 

oh orison, i know i speak for most members of hip forums when, i hope you start getting better!
it really wears and, is madding as all hell, when a cold goes on and, on for months on end!
i been there and, gone through it... i would not wish that on anyone!
hang in there mate; i'm pulling for you!

 

I'm in recovery from what is likely this strain. I had all the symptoms plus there is no other flu bug going around right now. I'll know tommorow for sure when I go to the Doc.

This strain has a five day incubation period and I started showing first symptoms on Mon which means I could have unknowingly exposed a shitload of people at Spring Jam last weekend.

I was at Spring Jam at Camp Zoe last weekend during the incubation period which means I could have exposed a lot of people...

If you were at Camp Zoe last weekend and you have flu like symptoms get checked out. I'm outta the woods but I want to do my part to help the CDC track and contain this as much as possible.

 

ive known a flu to run a course of 2 weeks and i think its bout done, but thats not stopping me from polluting my system with narcotics, marijuana, nicotine( i quit smoking but Im hooked on the gum like its crack.. Speaking of crack I smoked some of that shit too, just to numb my damn lungs, and Ill still stand on my soapbox and say the shit isnt nowhere nearly as addictive as nicotine.. :toetap05:

 

Anyone that is sick has my sympathy, but 68 deaths is not something to get worked up about. There are 36,000 deaths each year related to the flu.

 

Yeah, but most of those are the elderly or young children...this is killing even middle aged folk. It's also a new strain of virus that we don't yet know a whole lot about, so who knows if the traditional meds (ie Tamiflu) will work properly with it.

 

Mexico Raises Swine Flu Death Toll to 149



you can bet your ass its more than that..as i already stated in this thread, a doctor told the BBC the death toll was over 200 several days ago.

 

.

 

its a smoke screen..nothing more..

 

Has anyone died in the states yet? As far as I've read, people are dropping like flies in Mexico, but everyone here has recovered or is in the hospital supposedly recovering...
Can anyone show me something different or account for the difference?

 

those are the facts.. could be many reasons. it could already be mutating itself into a less deadly form,there could be 2 slightly different strains going around,there could be a major cover up going on.

i think those are the three possible explanations ive saw on the reason why all the reported cases here have been mild.

if i was a betting man i would say there are two different strains going around,the government knows it but isnt telling folks.
