One of the many doomsday scenarios we are told about has become a little bit more likely today. The World Health Organisation are very concerned with this outbreak.
But there are some good signs that it may not be too deadly. However worst effected are the young and healthy.

Time for a good old fashioned quarantine complete with violators will be shot mentalities.

Interesting fact: The "Spanish Flu Pandemic" of 1918 killed far more people than both World Wars combined. Estimated to be anywhere from 20 million to 100 million fatalities.

The potential is there, but not likely.
I had the swine flu a few years back from working with a few thousand pigs each day, some antibiotics and I was just fine.
This is really no more a "Black Plague" as the Bird Flu was when it was first diagnosed in China.
Its there, has always been there and will always be there.
A person is much more likely to die from having an airplane crash on top of their heads if they have access to any kind of decent medical treatment.
No matter where you go, there you are.

I loled so hard i started a pandemic 
Quick, Everyone create a virus called "Swine Flu" and leave it running by itself. See which countries are least likely to get hit.

Why is it a lot of people still think antibiotics are a weapon against viruses?
A virus cannot be tackled with antibiotics, only bacterial infections can be treated, such as the 'plague' the only thing we have to fight viruses are a few very specific anti-viral drugs and our own immune system.
If the swine-flu outbreak does take off, it could be another SARS.
/me stocks up on non-perishables and water... oh wait, I already did this for the coming zombie apocalypse (otherwise called a financial meltdown).

Jeez, my apoligies Fat Freddy!!!!
Type the wrong thing in and get flamed...wow!!
And YES, I did have it..was sick for nearly 2 weeks. It is nasty, but not that bad.
And as for SARS, hmmm, yeah. Thats a worldwide epidemic and millions are dying from it.
No matter where you go, there you are.

Sorry Trokiel, it wasn't a flame. Just that many people demand antibiotics when they get the sniffles, a lot of doctors will hand them out like candy and as a result of this there are more and more bacteria that are resistant, MRSA for one.
Yep swine flu is real nasty, glad you recovered. The antibiotics may have been prescribed in case there were any secondary infections while your immune system was flattened fighting the virus.
As for SARS... it is rare, very rare, remember the panic in 2003 when Toronto had an outbreak?
Influenza is a killer, I really hope this Mexico thing gets contained quickly.

hmmm
wonder if there will be leakage into north korea or northern pakistan/afganistan...
would be unfortunate but with global air travel it might (cough...ciagh...cough) occur.
would certainly fix a few problems looking for a solution.
with the real disclaimer that you cant stop everone from traveling by air.
considering its already reached the UK, via a flight from mexico city,

Yeah well, plenty of Americans have already caught it, been treated and are fine. One guy Obama met in Mexico died the next day from it, Obama's fine 2 weeks later.
You'll live, unless you're poor and/or Mexican.

If too many catch it, capacities won't be enough to treat everyone.
Anyway, we can use a culling of some 50-75% of mankind, makes good fertilizer to green some deserts.

I'm with you.
Anyway, wasn't the sun supposed to blow up first before we die of a virus or something?
Or whatever happens at the end of the Mayan calandar.
if you disagree with me then you should probably post a response and stop reading my signature. |
