AP Report ^ | April 27, 2009

President Barack Obama said Monday the threat of spreading swine flu infections

It must really annoy the Hussein in him.

How come nobody’s dying if it’s such a public health emergency?

He said travel to Mexico should be avoided out of an “abundance of caution.”

Rocket scientists everywhere!....As if we had to wait to hear it from some dumbass in charge!

[April Lexington]

Has anyone in the USA died from this disease or is this just a great way to take the public’s mind off of the incompetent Obama Administration ruining and then socializing the American Economy? Sounds like a bunch of B.S. to me! people get sick with viruses every day of every year. So who cares if some people are catching this variant of flu? So what???

We already have the ACLU variant of a president!

[Sarah Barracuda]

They are only dying in Mexico because their health care system is garbage..no one has died of Swine Flu here. It can be treated with Tamiflu if detected early enough, it’s just a regular flu. The Obama Administration just wants to take the focus off of his incompetence and then say how we need socialized medicine to fix this “emergency”

[Joe Boucher]

Nothing to see here, move along.
Hey you, ya wanna get beat up or go to jail?
Now move along.

Ahh. So you might say he hops, like a frog, from one lilly pad of misfortune to another.

Somewhere I think I wrote about leftist capitalizing on the misfortunes of others as a matter of survival.

That sort of makes them the human version of maggots, doesn't it?

How much of this comes from the illegals........?

"How come nobody’s dying if it’s such a public health emergency?

I'm assuming you mean "dying in America". I don't believe that there's been enough people in America infected yet to be statistically relevant. Where Mexico has almost 150 deaths with perhaps several thousand infected, America has only roughly 50(ish) confirmed cases.

CDC does expect people to die as the number of infected climbs here in the states.

I heard Rick Santorem say yesterday, that a person that has had the flu shot would be fine. He went on to explain that the serum given this year would protect......

[bunster]

Has the coronor come back with results yet on that crime last week we were all busy solving — the Freddie Mac CFO gunshot/hanging “incident”?

[the invisib1e hand]

I'm assuming you mean "dying in America".

You should join Mensa. Since nobody is dying in America, that was a pretty good guess on your part.

[Coldwater Creek]

Hundreds of people die from the flu each and every year in the U.S.

"You should join Mensa. Since nobody is dying in America, that was a pretty good guess on your part.

It wasn't' a guess. It was the answer to a similar question that was directed at a CDC official this weekend.

[April Lexington]

Hundreds of people die from the flu each and every year in the U.S.

Yes, from all sorts of flu viruses. Mostly the elderly and those with weak immune systems. Its a normal thing and it happens every year. So, who cares about a new flu bug going around if you are not elderly or immunally challenged?

[Scythian]

Hundreds of people die from the flu each and every year in the U.S.

The number is much higher, something like 36,000 people die from the flu each year in the US.

[Coldwater Creek]

Most people don’t realize that the flu shot’s effectiveness is a crap shoot every year. The CDC never knows whether they are preventing the right strain or not.

[April Lexington]

People die in Mexico every day from the horrendous living conditions and lack of public heath and facilities. It seems normal that a higher percentage of Mexicans would die from flu than here in the USA because we have a better health care system (for now, until Obama nationalizes that.... then worry) and better infrastructure. That's why they all want to sneak in.
