WASHINGTON (AFP) – President Barack Obama has declared swine flu a "national emergency," the White House said Saturday, as the United States reels from millions of cases of infection and over 1,000 deaths.

You can’t fix stupid. Look at all the stupid people standing in the rain exposing themselves to all those other people who might already have the flu. For hours.

Exactly! LOL

Very interesting list. I’ve not seen a list like that.

Still, why a national emergency for swine flu? Something political is going on... maybe they have to milk it for everything they’ve got because they made such a big deal (70,000 deaths predicted) out of it awhile back?

This is a power grab of some kind. If Obama had truly been concerned about this flu..HE WOULD HAVE DONE MORE THIS SUMMER TO PREPARE..LIKE MAKING SURE THE VACCINES WERE READY..THAT WE HAD PLENTY OF ANTI-VIRALS AND VENTILATORS! HE DID NONE OF THAT!!

Obama has FAILED UTTERLY TO PREPARE. He is doing this for political reasons! We need to find out what kind of ‘powers’ he just granted himself.

“Why is this different than any other flu?”

Because it attacks the lungs and kills young people. It is so dangerous, that zero decided to keep the public school flu factories open for business./s/

Although I’ve have read plenty of literature in the past on the topic I don’t have reference material handy to point you to, and have not yet had blood levels checked, but I intend to by year’s end. 3,ooo IU is certainly above avg recommended dosage for Vit D3, I can tell you that. I break up a 2k tablet to get there. Some take more...I would not suggest you take more than their physician recommended, and yes, having Vit D blood levels checked prior to supplementing, is the ideal approach. Hopefully that test will drop some as it’s a little pricey yet. Years ago it was thought it was a potentially toxic Vitamin and RDAs were kept low. The thinking has changed quite a lot.

Michel Chossudovsky, the man who wrote the story you linked to, is a 9/11 Truther and a Marxist stooge of the Alex Jones mold. He’s waging a disinformation campaign against America, as he’s been doing for years.

Just hunch, but Im guessing that this might just be a ploy for politcal purposes.

I heard he got the H1N1 shot last week, yet didn’t see it on video (as is his way). Maybe it’s me, but wouldn’t you think he would have gotten it after the guy in Mexico (that toured him around at the museum), dropped dead right after, or others at the WH had it?

If it is so dangerous to the young and so deadly, why has not zero closed the public schools which are virus factories? Either he does not mind killing kids or he does not believe this is a serious flu. Given he’s jacking things up to “national emergency” looks like zero does not mind killing a bunch of kids.

the swine flu is contagious a full day before symptons appear.

Actually you're contagious 3 - 5 days before symptoms......

thanks for the info bud...ran across that article looking for info on what happens once a “National Emergency” is declared. My concern now is how no one...not even the news weenies nor even local authorities, knows what happens next. That lack of information worries me to death.

Why national emergency?

1) force people to get swine flu shots (very possibly a strong $$ motive)

2) method of control with swine flu used as a ploy (& real motive undisclosed)

3) *** WHEN is this going to be lifted? under what criteria?
