Please keep chat and one-liners to a minimum. This thread is intended to be a one-stop-shop for all of todays NEWS and info related to the Mexican Swine Flu.
To make it faster for everyone to catch up on the actual NEWS, PLEASE PLEASE minimize chat, jokes, bashing the administration, soapboxes, and so forth. These live threads can become useless monster threads if everyone throws in their one-liners, and we all have 'em! So let's try to keep this thread useful for the latest NEWS.
Thank you all in advance.
Your right.This is crazy.
MEXICAN SWINE FLU ...CONFIRMED in New York Students!
According to the WSJ, Japan and other countries are screening passengers returning from Mexico, but our govt. doesn't think it's necessary?
It’s a near endless list. But hopefully we are all getting the idea.
“Also, because we theoretically have better health care, our mortality rate should be lower. But that doesn’t mean the virus is any stronger or weaker, it just means we can combat the complications more effectively.”
They will use this as an excuse to keep our borders open..I’ll bet...with the SPP agreement we might have agreed to share medical resources in this kind of an event.
It’s a great place to live,come on down!
This is nuts when we keep the border wide open. People are dying in Mexico because of their 3rd world medicine, something Obama will put upon us soon.
20 CASES IN U.S. PER FNC: 5 SATES AFFECTED ARE: California, New York, Texas and Kansas....NO DEATHS IN U.S.A. SO FAR....
Howdy CC, so, we meet again -
I really think this is all hype, but good hygiene is always a good idea. Every office has a patient zero who NEVER stays home when they are sick and spreads all their germs to the entire office.
For general immunity support, take some acidopholus. It’s the healthy bacteria in yogurt and is great for fighting off all sorts of junk that we encounter.
Wash your hands, don’t go to Mexico and keep visiting the Levin lounge! Your condition will be just fine!
Thanks!
Americans are being screened too and US and Mexican meat banned in various places...
1. Pakistan
2. Feinstein and her husband’s criminal behaviour
3. Dem involvement in Fannie/Freddie debacle
4. The NFL Draft
I haven’t seen anyone in a panic. I’ve seen a few posts from FReepers who called their doctor yesterday morning, and got prescriptions for Tamiflu. Most of them were slated to fly out somewhere come today or Monday, a practical decision. I’ve seen posts from FReepers wanting to track the progress of infection, again practical. I’ve seen posts from FReepers wanting to know the best ways to avoid infection, practical again.
The shrill posts I’ve seen, have been panicky sounding replies from people saying it’s all fake and “DON”T PANIC!!!”
We’re political conservatives here, and are suspicious of the motives, of the current administration. That a President being advised by Rahm Emanuel would seek to capitalize is a foregone conclusion, and you’re not the only one aware of that. To automatically assume that there’s no cause for concern, or being watchful, regarding this flu itself, though, is possibly foolhardy. Only time will tell.
As far as the speculation and the endless threads, it happens here with every bad hurricane, happened with bird flu, happened with Y2K. It’s the nature of a forum with a large number of participants.
So, you calm down, and stop questioning the intelligence of your fellow FReepers. Pantywaists? Projection.
