joey bro.. i think its ok to over react, innocent people are dying over this money making scheme, its downright evil
if this misguided reaction was directed toward the people responsoble than that would be a beautifull thing to see.

Do you really think they have vaccines?
It takes a lot longer than a few days to create one.

They do have antiviral drugs though, but those are something else.

^Yep. To my knowledge all there is, is anti-viral drugs.

As I had posted before:

Is there a vaccine for swine flu?

The seasonal flu jab given to the elderly over the winter months works well against human flu viruses, but is unlikely to be effective against swine flu. The World Health Organisation will decide whether to divert resources from manufacturing regular flu vaccine into making swine flu vaccine.


World Health Organization wrote:
Is there a human vaccine to protect against swine influenza?

There are no vaccines that contain the current swine influenza virus causing illness in humans. It is not known whether current human seasonal influenza vaccines can provide any protection. Influenza viruses change very quickly. It is important to develop a vaccine against the currently circulating virus strain for it to provide maximum protection to the vaccinated people. This is why WHO needs access to as many viruses as possible in order to select the most appropriate candidate vaccine virus.

No but I am.

Point in case, Silo.

---------------------------------------------

It's one thing to joke about people being worried and over-reacting but posting fake shit like a vaccine and saying "OMG WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE" just makes you an insensitive dick. Will it be funny when you or one of your loved ones get it? Someone you know who was already ill from the start then gets this? I have a friend in this situation and I'm worried for her safety since the flu is where she lives. The dickatry is spreading around on srf faster then the flu.

Really, it's not humorous in the least.

They changed the name of swine-flu cause egyptains started slaughtering there pigs... So its new name is the techinal name H1N1 Influenza A... (Some people said they slaughtered and fed it to some people of different religions to get them out of the area)

AUSTIN, Texas — Texas officials postponed all public high school athletic and academic competitions on Wednesday until May 11 because of the swine flu outbreak.

The move suspends the baseball and softball seasons and eliminates the regional track championships that were to start Friday, said Charles Breithaupt, executive director of the University Interscholastic League. He said league officials acted on the recommendation of public health officials.


http://www.ajc.com/sports/content/shared-gen/ap/Other_Sports/Texas_HS_Sports_Swine_Flu.html

Nice. "Eliminates regional track championship". Um, do they plan to let all the kids that qualified for regionals through to the state track meet? :?

Maybe they'll postpone finals... I could use some more time to study.

EDIT 2: Doesn't make sense really. Why cancel sporting events, they should be canceling school if anything. Seems to me there would be a much higher chance of coming in contact with it at school..

Last Edit lol: After even more digging it appears they are trying to reschedule it instead of a complete cancellation now. Good thing, would have unfairly eliminated a lot of kids.

Because it's called "swine flu" and ppl are retarded.


Dunno if it's true just checked around on google.

"It started as a pig virus, but has mutated over the years and combined with bird and human DNA to cross species. The current virus no longer comes from pigs, and pigs are not a threat."

I'm sure they didn't just find a random flu disease and call it swine for nothin though, still stupid to fear all pigs from it though.

seriously I'm just amazed how people really believe this happened just like that and not alot of them realised yet that this virus has been created and released on purpose. you'll never hear that on TV.

"swine flu" has been present since forever, but this is a hybrid and not alot of people get it. and if it was naturally created how the hell it did it take the worse genes from every type?
