I think I have all the spam you crossed off of your list ;-)

I wonder if this will raise the average of people who die of influenza each year in the US?

The national average is that 36,000 people die from flu-related sicknesses every year.

Somehow 36,000 people dieing EVERY YEAR is not an epidemic but a few people dieing of "Swine Flu," which is still a flu related sickness, is.

Are they illegal aliens?

[devistate one four]

The same old fear mongering of the 70s. They spent 1.5 million on shots, and by the time the flu was gone, people had suffered the usual vacine syndromes and the lawsuits resulted in BILLIONS.

Welcome to Earth, population zero.

[LibertyRocks]

Is there anyway to get these folks at the CDC and WHO to STOP calling this ‘Swine Flu’.

We ALREADY HAVE ‘SWINE FLU’. This is a NEW VIRUS that contains 3 different markers for 3 different swine flus, N. American AVIAN flu, AND Human Flu Strain “A”.

I even saw a post here at FR from someone who grew up on a farm dismissing this whole thing because they had “old fashioned swine flu” as a kid, and thought nothing of this...

I’m not suggesting panic, but for Gosh Sakes — they need to STOP calling it SWINE FLU — It’s NOT ‘Swine Flu’!!!!!!!

ARGHHHH! (LOL)

Suggested names for this virus:
1. Mexican Swine Flu
2. Chimera Flu (3 pigs, a bird, and a human... LOL)
3. Mexiflu
4. ManBirdPig Flu

Granted some of the suggestions above are probably too humorous to use in describing what is a real threat. But, does anyone else feel as I do that calling it swine flu UNDER-represents the threat of this new flu especially in rural areas where REGULAR swine flu (that CAN’T be transmitted from human to human) is a normal part of life?

I think it should be discussed about the possibility of having to shut down an international gathering place of tens of thousands of tourists daily that will afterwords return to their homes all across the world, it would be the perfect place to spread a slow moving contact disease.

It might help if we closed the damn border where it originated! DUH!

[FarRightFanatic]

Our spring break is the first week of March and we had plenty of kids from our high school head down to Mexico. Our oldest is a freshman, an athlete, and has plenty of contact with the upperclassmen with track practice and other sports-related events. He has had some sort of cold since then - runny nose, then stuffy nose, tight chest, LOTS of phlegm, then last weekend ran a fever of 103.5º and didn’t get out of bed for a full day. He has NEVER had a virus like this in his life. I took him to the dr on Sunday, they ran a strep test and a mono test. Strep culture the following day came back positive (mono was neg.) but he doesn’t feel like he has had strep at all. Keep in mind, this is a kid who gets strep at least once a year. The whole house has had some sort of a cold/flu virus since this, but it hit him the hardest.

While we were at the dr, I asked if they were testing patients with flu-like symptoms for Mexican swine flu and her answer was, “Not really.” ??? Her first questions for my son were, “Are any of your friends sick? Girlfriend?” And, “Have any of your friends been on vacation recently?”

Someone from a business supply business brought us a delivery and the guy had on a mask. Made me really want to touch that order! /s

"91% rubbing alcohol check "

Back during the 'Bird Flu' worry days I bought 91% alcohol because I read that less than 91% wouldn't kill a virus.

So, on the way home from lunch today, I stopped at Family Dollar and bought some of their Hand Sanitizer because it says "compare to Purell." When I get home I read that it contains 62% ethyl alcohol.

Is the difference Isopropyl vs ethyl?

Purell

Contains 62% ethyl alcohol too.

Don't be surprised if the socialist government use this as an excuse to ban large public gatherings, such as the tea parties.

Booze and smokes. I know what I'm doing tonight.

Swine Flu Ping ..

[tsmith130]

Lots of TP.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Last night local Charleston, South Carolina news reported that state health officials are checking at least 24 suspected cases of the swine flu in this state. I wonder how many other states aren’t also on the national list.

[ModelBreaker]

Matches
Kerosene
Lanterns
Extra Wicks
100 gallons of fresh water
