This is just racism against the Swine Flu. The Swine Flu is just doing the job that the regular flu won't do.
Zero’s enemies had better watch out (achoo!) Oops some has the flu.
I’ve got a cough and the sniffles today and I’m sitting here thinking about cancelling my cardiac rehab sessions at the hospital until this all blows over. I don’t think I want to be spending time at the hospital.
Bottled water....my list matches yours...got the last box of masks last night from Walmart...just preparing, no panic...yet.
Chlorine, disinfectant soap, and safety glasses or face shield.
Per FNC, LA coronor investigating 2 deaths.
If you don’t go shopping the flu will win.
why no “spam?”
you forgot the toilet paper and beer, man.
5 Hospitalized with Swine Flu A U.S. health official says deaths are likely with at least five people hospitalized nationwide for swine flu. Acting Director of the federal Centers for Disease Control, Richard Besser says, “I fully expect we will see deaths from this infection.”"many hundreds?"
According to New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg two people have been hospitalized in New York - a child in the Bronx and Brooklyn adult. Their cases are separate from the outbreak at a private school in Queens.
City Health Commissioner Thomas Frieden also warns that “many hundreds” of schoolchildren are sick with suspected cases of swine flu.
Wind up flashlights and potable water supply?
“Am I missing anything?”
Big dog and a Barracuda which runs on nitrous. Also you will need a pair of shoulderpads and hair dye.
“CDC: ‘Fully expect we will see deaths’”
They sound exited about the prospect.
The usual strains of flu kill over 30,000 Americans every year. I don’t think the docs have any reliable mortality stats on this one yet.
No. I think you pretty well nailed it.
If I was in the hospital with this flu, I would hire a bodyguard.

First US Fatalities: Two Swine Flu Deaths in California
by Jack Ryan
Apr 28, 2009
The swine flu virus may have killed two Americans in California.
The World Health Organization and other health officials have confirmed that the deadly Swine Flu, which experts fear could spark a pandemic, has spread to other countries.
New cases of the swine flu virus have been confirmed in Israel and even New Zealand, and up until Tuesday, the only deaths resulting from infection remain confined to Mexico.
Well, duh. Here’s the CDC report on deaths (only children deaths are listed, not adults) for flu outbreaks during the past few years. Why should this flu be any different. People die from flu, swine or otherwise.
During the 2003-04 season, 153 flu-associated deaths in children were reported to CDC. (This data was collected by CDC.)
During the 2004-05 season, 47 deaths in children were reported to CDC. (This is the first year that influenza mortality in children became a nationally reportable condition.)
During the 2005-06 season, 46 deaths in children were reported to CDC.
During the 2006-07 season, 76 deaths in children were reported to CDC.
As of June 14, 2008, 83 deaths in children occurring during the 2007-08 season have been reported to CDC
