Just watching the Big “oh” on tv. He doesn’t say a child from Texas, he says “in” Texas. Might just be me.

Really?
And you can prove otherwise?
No one is dead here. Cases are not more than you would normally expect of any flu.
So where is the big story? A few folks die in Mehico but strangely no where else.
AND EVEN IF THEY DID DIE OF SWINE FLU, their numbers are insignificant to warrant this mass hysteria.
So. what do you mean “wrong”?

This flu is a brew of three different flues. The odds of that combination happening by accident seems rather odd to me.But it isn't odd, it's normal.

It's not a brew of a mere 3 different flus. That's quite a normal situation. This sucker has 4, or 5, depending on you count the swine flu strains.
That makes it absolutely unique ~ nothing like it has been discovered before.

The overall age-adjusted death rate in 2006 was 776.4 deaths per 100,000 population, compared with 799 per 100,000 in 2005. The number of total deaths was 2,425,900, down 22,117 from 2005.
All that in 365.25 days, people die from influenza every single day, in every state. Yes it is tragic, but its a fact of life.
Yes, a single death without giving out any details is being blown out of proportions, especially if they don’t give out important facts like the health of the child before they were infected.
Were there allergies? did the child already have a bad cold when exposed? unless we know all the facts a single death is not that conclusive of the virulence of this disease.

Really? And you can prove otherwise?I don't have to prove it is NOT a manufactured crisis. It's real, it's major, and the size and scope of the problem are both, for the moment, unknowable.

This is the thread about "....someone is dead here...."
Time to turn on the TV and find out the news.

We can't look at any of this in isolation from the big picture. There's a new flu afoot with unknown killing capabilities. Initially it didn't even kill people in Mexico. Now it kills lots of people there, and there's a dead kid here now.
You didn't perhaps have the idea that these flu pandemics begin full blown on DAY 1?

Please clarify how "major" and "size and scope unknowable" are simultaneously true.

Major because it's a novel H1N1 strain that demonstrates high infectivity (hence the reports from all over the globe in recent Mexico visitors.)
Size and scope unknowable because lab confirmation in Atlanta is a chokepoint on new numbers and because the professionals won't speculate, knowing that the politicians in charge don't have their back.

So where is the big story? A few folks die in Mehico but strangely no where else.The poor in Mexico are expendable. Here, we do have medication to contain it. It's the fright they want. It's the panic. They'll have no choice but to legislate Health Care Welfare now - "For our own good."
In order to create a Socialist society, the society in existence has to be destroyed first. Because of chaos, the people will cry out for a savior. Be he God or the Devil - they'll accept him.
The socialist can then rebuild the society in their own image.
If you want to take over a health care system, the system in existence has to be destroyed first. There will be chaos - real, imagined, or manufactured. The people will cry out for a savior, and Health Care Welfare will be put in it's place.
It's all about power and privilege, and they'll keep it no matter what the cost.

You're wrong.
Wow. That in depth analysis explains it all.

The governments of the world know what the other governments of the world are doing. It's no coincidence the Japanese are calling this "The North American Flu."
If it were a Mexican created flu, they'd call it a "Mexican Flu", now wouldn't they?
Freudian slip by the Japanese?
Never listen to what the talking heads are telling you. Look around and pay attention. Actions always speak louder than words.
It's always about power and privilege. Always.

The Houston Chronicle homepage is reporting that the death occurred in Houston and that the child was a resident of Brownsville. So this is great - sick people are now being trucked around
inside our country. Yay.

I have a 2 year old myself. Not happy about this at all, but Houston is like little Mexico in some places, so I'm not too surprised.

FOX just reported on the radio that the child was “visiting from Mexico.”

“Remember, Mexico was fine until the Oboma visit. After he left, people started dieing en mass.”
