We're not doomed.
For crying out loud. The media are nitwits.
That's really the point.
Not even since Bird Flu? SARS? Y2K?
Tammy Bruce, who is on right now, says it’s an attempt by the Mexican Govt to give itself the right to close the border and suppress civil liberties.
Kind of convenient when OBAMA and his group of SOCIALIST elected officials and criminals want to pass Socialized Medicine...They’re gonna scare everyone into voting for it.
That's fewer Americans than are killed on our roads and highways.
And that's WITHOUT Ted Kennedy driving.
This is not the exact same flu. This is a strain of it. I won’t say head for the hills but there is a reason why the CDC and virologists are watching it very closely, when a virus mutates a lot of bad things can happen.
30,000 Americans are not killed by this influenza a year.
I agree. what a bunch of crap. Ugh! Obama is such a creepy loser. Who is he going to bow down to next? What an a$$ he is!
I believe they are overblowing it. every credible story I’ve seen says it’s a mild form of H1N1. People’s immune systems for the most part are able to build up and fight it off.
They want an excuse to implement martial law through the medical emergency health powers act, and then go after anyone who refuses to take whatever crap they want to inject you with. Or at least identify who will give them problems in the future when the real takeover begins.
I’m not so sure about your premise. M. Savage has been saying ranting about how this shows that the pro-immigrationists are dangerous and how this has come about because of our open borders. If his take on it is right, then this could cause more of the sheeple to go right, and against Obama.
The media just likes to hype up these cases.
They want to impose travel restrictions. The populace are restless and fighting mad over bailouts and such and are just about ready to march on Washington.
Yes, enough already with the several dozen threads
on the flu hysteria.
I say this living in San Diego where there are 4 cases of this flu and Mexico at the southern border of SD.
The flu has been great for Obama.
The attention away from his distruction of America.
Focus on what Obama and the Democrats are doing and
what we are facing or maybe it is easier to yap on about the flu.
It is. Look outside.
We're not doomed.
Yes we are. Do you plan on living forever?
I guess somewhere between Chicken Little and ignoring everything is a happy medium where we take reasonable precautions to deal with this, elevating them as the danger might grow in our particular areas. Modern community health organizations are very effective in containing plagues that used to decimate whole populations, I'll give them some slack no matter who sits in the White House.
One of the most effective tools they have is electronic transmission of messages telling people not to have contact with other people in a given area. Sometimes, that's going to spill over into hype on slow news days, but it's better than having to be told face-to-face to stay inside.
It’s all irrational hysteria until you die yourself!
Don’t be an imbecile. This is not a media inspired con.
The Mexican swine flu is a weird variant of H1N1, enough of a mutation that previous vaccinations are not working against it.
Right now the CDC, the WHO, the Mexican government, the Canadian government, the British government, and the Mexican health care industry are freaking out about this. People are dropping like flies.
Tell you what. In one week one epidemiologist is predicting that 500,000 Mexicans are going to be sick. Is that enough to persuade you that this is not just media hype?
WOW. There is no way to know how bad it wiill get. It was just announced this week by Mexico, and has been there since at least March. Media has underplayed this. I’ve barely seen anything on it. Most of Fox was on torture memos. Meanwhile CDC is still not telling people to avoid Mexico.
