someone is hiding something.

Kids where I am (the Southeast) are getting clobbered.

Friend of mine who teaches second grade said that she's had 7 out of 20 kids out, routinely, this year. She also said that the other day, the teacher in her classroom next door had 15 out of 22 kids out.

I got my kids the shot - doc said that there'd been "A Much Higher than Normal Rate" of kids coming through her office - and that all of them were symptomatic for H1N1. She's pretty level-headed, and not one for hyperbole.

Plenty of people missing work over this at my company, as well.

Granted, there's lots of hysteria, and most kids are catching the bug, and getting over it. However, this appears to be pretty serious. As serious as all the hysteria warrants? Likely not, but still something to be careful with, IMHO.

Anyone remember the Y2K scare? You need to run right out and give Gary North your monies..because he will teach you all you need to know in the upcoming Road Warrior Wasteland!

Doomed, I tell you!

someone is hiding something.

...and they're hiding because the swine flu was delivered to us via illegal immigration.

[Brown Deer]

swine flu killed an estimated 3,900 Americans from April to October

During this same period an additional 368,400 Americans died from heart disease, another 326,600 Americans were killed by cancer, 80,000 Americans were killed by cerebrovascular diseases, 72,600 Americans died from lower respiratory diseases, 70,900 were killed by unintentional injuries, and another 496,800 Americans were killed from other diseases!

These deaths do not include the estimated 800,000 children that were murdered by abortionists during this same period. There were more than 200 innocent babies murdered for each victim of a swine flu death!

[hercuroc]

How many have been SAVED?

[Palladin]

Holy Cow! The numbers are really mounting, and winter isn’t even here yet.

[ExSoldier]

That's still a statistical ZERO. We lose six to eight times that in any annual flu season, just with influenza "Type A."

[Old Professer]

In the beginning the CDC was reluctant to the point of advising against laying a case, even a mortality directly at the H1N1 stoop if there were underlying existing conditions; now it seems, they have just reversed that position and instead are willing to blame deaths on H1N1 even when the secondary condition merely coexisted with the suspected infection with the virus.

Turns out to be a quadrupling of previous estimates and still no requirement for positive diagnosis.

There’s magic in them there numbers.

[CodeToad]

Doesn’t 40,000 die from the normal flu every year anyway? H1N1 is just another attempt to scare the people and distract them the fact that the Communists are trying to take over healthcare and control the country.

[Revolting cat!]

This is a “fake pandemic”, I hear here? It must be the same gang who assasinated Saint JFK that is behind this fakery.

[NoGrayZone]

Oh please. They’re trying to cause an “epidemic” out of nothing.

2 ladies in the office, with kids, are freaking out about it. They DO NOT like any of my responses.

[Danae]

Do the math, 4000 of 22,000,000 who got the flu died.....
thats .0018% THATS NOTHING. Hellfire thats GREAT compared to the regular flu that kills 36 THOUSAND a year, and thats the regular flu!

The H1N1 is NOTHING.

DO NOT BELIEVE THE HYPE.

[laweeks]

I don’t trust their numbers either . . . just an attempt to round up cash.

What I find interesting is that while they say 3,900 people died in 6 months, EVERY DAY 3,300 BABIES DIE IN ABORTUARIES . . . EVERY DAY!!!!!

Let’s do the math . . .
* 3,900 dead from H1N1 in 6 months. . .
* 602,250 innocent, defenseless American citizens (3,300 times 180)in 6 moths . . .

Where’s the alarm soundoff on that??????

[Soul Citizen]

But how is counting, last they said they were not keeping death statistics. We can’t believe anything coming from this govt!

[The Anti-One]

CDC: 3,900 Americans Dead From H1N1 in Six Months

How do you say???? BULL S***! I think they have watched Ace Ventura a few to many times. You know, the part where Ace is talking out his a**? They keep trying to emulate him in their attempt to create a crisis that does not exist.

[Future Useless Eater]

This is NOT a pandemic or emergency by any stretch of the imagination. South America had a MUCH milder flu season, and their primary strain this year was the H1N1.


But there is a common denominator to those who are dying, which is largely patients with pre-existing neurological problems.

The problem is insufficient SATURATED FAT.

The body needs a great deal of saturated fat for healthy tissues, especially the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.

BUT the lungs ALSO need saturated fat (when it can get it) to completely thin-coat all breathing surfaces -called lung surfactant. The toxic polyunsaturated vegetable oils and margarines on the market do not make a good replacement, and they go rancid (oxidize) quickly in the body. It is these surfaces of the lungs that get inflamed by H1N1, causing the deaths.

SEVEN REASONS TO EAT MORE SATURATED FAT
Reason #4: Healthy Lungs

A better way to cure the H1N1 'coughing flu' than Tamiflu could be 7 days of mega-doses of Vitamin D3 [per executive answer #3]

“CDC: 3,900 Americans Dead From H1N1 in Six Months”

That few?

[Republic of Texas]

Wasn’t it Bush’s fault last year when we had a “normal” flu season? Haven’t seen any blame attributed this year.

[Chickensoup]

There was an interesting article I read yesterday about the French CDC and how they expected a much worse epidemic and h;ow the hanta viruses and RSV viuses might have an impact on H1N1

Anyone have the link?

[GOPJ]

540 deaths for children? That’s a pull your heartstings number - but I suspect many of the dead are AIDS carriers - and NO ONE is giving us those numbers... wonder why?
