Get ready for an illegal immigration boom. I hope the Minutemen are paying attention (I know you are).

I guess they continue to call it “swine flu” for “convenience” sake even though it’s a combination of avian, swine and human flu.

If they are doing this, it’s probably worse than we
have been led to believe. It’s not on most folks radar
here but it WILL BE.

“Mexico City cancels all public events to fight flu”

Do you think it might be possible Mexico could call all their illegal aliens in the U.S. to return home to help fight the flu.... (just wishing)...

Pandemics are inevitable. Maybe this is not THE BIG ONE, but remember: guns, groceries, chlorox, face masks, gloves, goggles, etc. Don’t forget lime for the dead, unprepared neighbors.

My friends who live in Mexico are in Houston now. They arrived last week and the husband promptly got sick as soon as they arrived. He went to the doctor and it was diagnosed as bronchitis. He has traveled all over the US on business while sick with.... whatever. I spoke to his wife a few minutes ago, they haven't been watching the news and knew nothing about what has been going on in Mexico. I told her to get on the Internet and check it out. She has not caught what he has but he hasn't gotten over it yet, I heard him coughing while I spoke with her.

In the US I would suspect any Roach Coaches, especially in Southern, CA.

And to strongly avoid going near any transportation hubs like airports and bus stations.

There was a book out a couple of years ago titled “The Great Influenza” by John Barry about the epidemic of 1918. One of the factors apparently that led to the biggest outbreak in America was that a large city (Philadelphia, if I remember correctly) pondered canceling some giant political celebration (fascism was huge in those days with Wilson’s administration pushing “community activism”). They decided to hold the event after all, and this led to thousands of people being exposed to the virus - leading to a major infection rate in the city.

Maybe Mexico is considering this...

Here’s a good antidote to potential MSM/CDC-inspired panic (along with a good supply of vitamins, Sambucol, and facial masks such as I bought this morning).

Excerpted, see link for more.

DR. MARC SIEGEL: The Most Powerful Virus Is Fear Not Flu

With a new swine flu strain spreading among close to 1,000 people in Mexico and at least eight in the U.S., and with 61 reported deaths in Mexico, the most powerful virus pushing out its tentacles is not flu but fear. We are afraid of what we don’t know and what we don’t understand.

We hear about an unseen killer and we worry that we will be next. The best antidote for this kind of fear is the facts.

So let me take on the fear-laden terms. The first is pandemic. A pandemic means a new flu virus infecting people in several areas of the world at the same time. It can be mild, moderate, or severe. Everyone knows about the 1918 Blue Death that killed over 50 million people worldwide, but how many people realize that the last pandemic, in 1968, ameliorated by vaccines, antibiotics, and public health measures, killed only 32,000 in the U.S. and 700,000 worldwide, less than many yearly outbreaks.

The current swine flu outbreak is not a pandemic, as the outbreak is confined mainly to Mexico, but if it does become one, it is far more likely to be the 1968 variety because of modern public health measures and because we have been exposed to several parts of this virus before and have an immune memory to it.
