A local health department has lawful authority to close any establishment suspected of being a public health risk. A couple of cases of mild food poisoning can do it. Yet when there is a known and threatening health problem such as an epedemic in a bordering nation the CDC nor the POTUS or U.S. Surgeon General will order borders to that nation closed? Pray tell what was Ellis Island used for? As a buffer to limit the possibility of such from those coming to the U.S. The rush from south of the border to our ER’s will look like the day after Thanksgiving sales at stores. Close our border to Mexico.

Uh huh.

The infected people could always drink the tainted bottled water.

Dr. Peter Venkman: This [country] is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Mayor: What do you mean, “biblical”?
Dr. Raymond Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath-of-God type stuff. Fire and brimstone coming down from the sky! Rivers and seas boiling!
Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...
Winston Zeddmore: The dead rising from the grave!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice. Dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria!

Isn’t this another of Obama’s final solutions?
One third of us need to be exterminated. Why
not by a “convenient” plague that no one would
question?

My two cent tinfoil hat opinion.

I don’t believe for a moment that it’s too late
to “contain” it.

Mexico Swine Flu Deaths Spur Global Epidemic Fears

The CDC says it is too late. What about closing our freaking wide open borders with Mexico __________ ?

Close the damn border for the duration of the epidemic.

The Democrats need more Mexican immigrants.

He said the U.S. cases and Mexican cases are likely the same virus. "So far the genetic elements that we have looked at are the same." But Besser said it was unclear why the virus was causing so many deaths in deaths in Mexico and such mild disease in the United States.

Availability of medical care?

Severity lessens with human to human transmission like some of those African viruses. (Ebola I think?)

Time to send the National Guard to the border, now, in large enough numbers to stop the flow of illegal entrants.

Mexicans and OTMs that are in Mexico are now hearing that people who get swine flu in Mexico are dying in greater numbers than in the good old US of A; so there is bound to be a crapload of them now freaking out and fleeing to our medical facilities to be "saved" from the disease.

But how many people in the US will they infect while on their trek to the free hospital care we will give them?

When will the idiots in DC realize that our wide open borders are setting us up for a national emergency/terrorist attack; medical or otherwise?

I thought it was the bird flu we had to watch out for? The banking regulators wasted (and are still wasting) billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of hours on the bird flu.

Oops...

At least they’ll keep nukes of NK’s and Iran’s hands and protect those keeping us safe over the past 8 years....

[metmom]

Did you see this?

[Uncle Meat]

Wasn’t there a big Swine Flu scare in the 1970’s.I remember a corney joke then ,”How did the pig get off the Empire State building?”Punchline was “The Swine Flu.”That’s what reminded me.

[Eric Blair 2084]

According to algore, we’re all going to die in a great big ball of fire this week from global warning anyway.

CDC, can’t do anything... right.

Depopulation ping.

I’m also sure everyone knows about the incident re: Delta NY to Tel Aviv attempted cockpit run, detoured to Logan.

http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSTRE53O0L920090425

Already they’re starting with mentally unstable in some reports. Yep, a condition that only drives you to charge the cockpit. I’ll see what they say... we got tweets from the plane.

“Besser said it was unclear why the virus was causing so many deaths in deaths in Mexico and such mild disease in the United States.”

How about the fact that 40 million Americans were vaccinated against the Swine Flu in 1976... I know I was part of the team who did it... nineteen counties in North Texas...

I took my shot...

So far reports say that most of the people stricken are between the ages of early twenties and mid forties - very odd except when you take into consideration that 33 years ago 40 million men, women and children were vaccinated — just add it up age wise.

[ICCtheWay]

By the way — this ‘Swine Flu’ of 2009 should be called (hence forth) The Mexican Flu in honor of its origins in a Third World SLUM - Mexico City ...

If we can have the Hong Kong Flu in 1968 we can now have The Mexican Flu of 2009...
