I suppose then the Rats the were running all around during the 1300 at the that outbreak of the plague had no effect at all? Those rats lived off from what? And they carried what kind of insect?

How did the troops live during the spanish flu outbreak? Yes they were close, but more important they lived in sub par conditions. The result was the military issued orders that ALL baracks were to be CLEAN.

The troops in the field lived in filth nearly the whole time. Mud up to their asses in the trenches and the whole works.

No, sanitation isnt the only answer, but it is in large the whole part of the answer. And like I said, people close together is not good.

I agree. Thats the way well drillers shock wells. A little bleach in a lot of water will kill all kinds of nasty bugs.

As it is transmitted, it’s mutating into a less deadly form.

We've gotten into keeping small bottles of this stuff in the cars and wifey's purse, ever since my two elderly (now gone) parents began needing frequent hospital - lab - medical office type of places. We're almost addicted.

When Mom died at the end of February, there were still a few unopened bottles that the caregivers hadn't gotten into yet, so we're armed for the duration.

” ...we are told that there are 8 “suspected” cases, yet news reports on FOX this AM said that there were “over 200” kids complaining of symptoms at school late last week...”

Well, if you only do bloodwork on 8, then you can only confirm 8. There could be 500 cases for all we know. Sounds like they took a lesson from Indonesia’s health department.

Yep, this should be phase 5 if TPTB wanted to follow their phase chart. Some are following it by calling it a pandemic. Whether this will be a real pandemic or not is still uncertain from the news reports of the Gov’t & CDC presentation today. Maybe TPTB think it is best not to call it one yet?

I wonder, could this be a mechanism to fight against a far worse avian flu pandemic?

...”WHY aren’t we closing the border”’’

Flu is airborne.

odd timing. just a few weeks ago pandemic training was going on. lots of theories could be hashed over from that.

the flu strain is very strange.

Closing a border does not stop an airborne virus from crossing it.

Thanks.

I have a friend who is a lung Dr and My sister used to be a head nurse in Intensive care, The both said you treat this like you would pink eye. What I mean is anything that is touched is contaminated. I have had pink eye three or four times and I tell you a person learns real fast not to use towels over and over and things. With pink eye if you touch it, it has the bug. The same with this flu. And it doesnt take that much to take the proper measures to at least try and prvent such things.

And if you get it, drink as much water or fluids as you can...treat the symptoms aggressively. A lot of good ol fashion home remedy will help. Light foods, lots of water, brandy and honey mixed, warmed up, and taken in small amounts, and your usual cold/flu medications. If you get congestion, sleep on the easy chair to help keep your lungs clear-take breaths through pursed lips to put back pressure on your lungs to help break up congestion. The biggest killer of this will be lung problems.

and your point is????.....we should just let sick people come across the border?

...They are bringing in diseases that have been eradicated here for many years...

More good advice. Thanks! :) Mr. Trisham has asthma, for which he's been hospitalized a few times. As of yesterday he has begun taking a Vitamin D tab daily. I'm going food shopping today and will pick up some soup. The last time he was ill with the flu it was ginger ale, soup, tea and toast for a week. I haven't caught the flu in years, knock on wood.

BTW, the Superflu in "The Stand" started in the same region; Mexico and the Southern U.S.

I remember - it emerged from a bio-weapons lab in California with a “99.44% excess mortality” rating. That was Stephen King’s idea of a joke. In the old ads, Ivory Soap was “99 44/100 percent pure”.
