swine flu

Oh, you can have it both ways. You can hang out with the fucking pig and eat it later. Why not?

 

if ifs and but were sugar and nuts..

so whats your point? he answered the question honestly,the PR people in the whitehouse shit a brick and the spin doctors are in damage control mode.

that statement and the rest released since are nothing more than them saying,"we cant believe he was honest,this is what the standard white house line really is."

i commend him for his honesty,and scoff at the spin doctors..

 

That one looks like it will be true.

 

what? i didnt read the article,i just grabbed the fear mongering first sentence..

 

uuuhhh... because i'm vegan and something in animal products makes me have migraines more often than i already do. i'd rather not eat animals and lower the number of migraines i have... you ever have a migraine? you'd understand. iggy:

 

Perhaps wrong angle to focus on. I just posted what he actually said. After, Hotwater, didn't say what he actually said. He missed a few things out.

So, after listening to Biden you think people canceled all of their travel plans - etc?

 

Biden is the one wildcard in the white house that could cause trouble for the administration

They’ll eventually assign someone to monitor his every word and correct as necessary

Nothing fear-mongering about it. Just going to be a fact.

"Influenza viruses are notorious for their rapid mutations and unpredictable behaviour. We do not have all the answers immediately, but we will get them," Dr Chan said. "It really is all of humanity that is under threat during a pandemic."

 

i dunno.. i am sure some did. bidens been known for saying stupid things.i really believe that is indeed the advice he would give his family.

im sure he got at least one "what the fuck were you thinking" over this one..lol


i am not convinced any of this hype is warranted and quite honestly the more i see the more i believe its not and its all just a smoke screen hiding something else.

what i have no idea,but i do know none of this makes any sense to me. things just are not adding up.

 

It's Americans. They get a little too worked up about every utterance.
I watched him on the TV today. Did I jump through a brick wall in fear?
No. As there had been enough other things to give the general populace advice about this. Heck, we're all getting advice in the post over the next few day.

 

has this been asked yet...

what happens at level 6?

 

I am american :toetap05:

Although several posters over the years have confused New England
with just plain England

Hotwater

 

Well have you ever read the book The Stand by Stephen King


Hotwater

 

They use the Main Stream Media to condition us to do what ever they tell us.
The strain of flu going around could not be a product of natural selection. It was made by the Gov.

I don't get to hear half the things he says. So can't judge.
It probably is good advice if you are concerned about your family.

Some of the hype is self-generated by the people.
I appreciate the US media has more bangs and whistles than we do though. The less it becomes an issue the further back in the news agenda it will go. It is slipping off our medias agenda already. Not a lot else to say about it. Ask, Rat, about all the "secret agendas" and "smoke screens" and stuff...that stuff doesn't interest me.

All it is is a virulent strain of flu that is circling the globe as we speak.
What else is there to think over?

 

i've read that 4 times... i hope that doesn't happen! CAPTAIN TRIPPS!

 

I know you are. I was generalising.

 

What do you know about influenza in humans and animals

 

Well I’m on Mother Abigail's side

I guess I better pack-up for that trip to Nebraska through no man's land U.S.A.

What pandemic alert phase 6 means
By The Associated Press –

Under the World Health Organization's alert system on a developing flu pandemic, phase 6 is the highest level.


Here's what the phases mean:
_Phase 3, an animal or human-animal flu virus causes some infections of people, but with little or no subsequent human-to-human transmission.

_Phase 4, verified human-to-human transmission able to cause sustained disease outbreaks in a community. Any country that suspects or has verified such an event should urgently consult with WHO to decide whether rapid moves are needed to avert a pandemic.

_Phase 5, human-to-human spread of the virus in at least two countries in the same region. This is a strong signal that a pandemic is imminent, with little time left to finish preparations.

_Phase 6, global pandemic has begun. This includes community level outbreaks in at least one other region. This may trigger countries to activate their own pandemic response plans, though some countries may already have done this in phases 4 or 5. WHO continues to monitor the virus' spread, check for resistance to antivirals and consider whether vaccine producers should be asked to switch from making seasonal flu vaccine to pandemic vaccine.

Based on how the virus spreads, WHO may also advise countries to take measures such as closing schools, workplaces and mass gatherings. The agency will also make specific recommendations for health workers and doctors as to how to treat the disease and reduce its spread in hospitals. And it will oversee distribution of its emergency stockpile of 5 million antiviral treatments to countries in need.
