Freeper justsaynomore is praying for you too Quix :)
I have the utmost respect for freeper justsaynomore :)
The mention of 1918 by you, infers that you think we’re about to see it repeated here. You folks deny that you are trying to instill panic, but you go to any lengths possible to make a point and infer we are headed into the abyss.
You don’t know that. Nobody knows that.
Have we seen evidence that 2% of those who have contracted H1N1 are dying? I haven’t see evidence to indicate it. So why are you bringing up 1918?
Be honest with yourself here.
Amen!
Are you remotely aware of how many
VERY DIVERSE sources have insisted that
officialdom of various levels across many countries have warned them to expect massive numbers of deaths?
Why would officials do that?
Why would the UK public gardener Head be warned to insure his incinerator will be able to handle burning LOTS of bodies this fall?
Similar warnings have been reported around the globe including multiple locations in the USA.
Obviously such officials were just covering their rear’s and doing a dry run simiulation in prep for the REAL scheduled pandemic?
Of course, you strike me as the sort of person who’d put
A LOT of weight on the Bible code indicating it’s all a manufactured pandemic. I mean, how could the Bible code be accurate . . . just because a host of other sources have asserted the same thing! /sar
Reducing the global population to 200 million . . . nasty work. Globalists think someone has to do it.
I’m still waiting for you to post swineflu articles .....:)
You are not posting ALL the facts. You are posting some of the facts. You are also leaving out very important facts. Post all the facts and I’ll go away.
Tell us how many thousands have contracted this influenza, and how many have died. Is that an unfair request?
Are you concerned that if only 0.002% of those infected are dying, that folks will begin to understand the true level threat here?
You’ll have to forgive me for thinking it looks as if that’s the case.
Greatly appreciate the prayers.
Thought yesterday I was going to be faster on the mend. Seems to be slower than I anticipated. The prayers are a critical sustaining aspect of my health and days.
MOST APPRECIATED.

The Health Ministry reported that as of late Wednesday there were 32 thousand 950 cases confirmed influenza A (H1N1) in Mexico, of which 236 died.
In his report last Tuesday, confirmed cases were 31 thousand 594 people.
Reliance reiterated his call not to “lower their defenses and maintain preventive measures such as frequent hand washing and sneezing etiquette.
He explained that of the 236 deaths, 86.4 percent had cough, 85.6 percent, fever, 73.3 percent, difficulty breathing, 52.1 percent, malaise, and 48.3 percent, expectoration.
Of these deaths, 50 percent were women and 50 percent men, plus 71.2 percent had between 20 and 54 years.
In its report, stressed that no confirmed cases in 32 states and most are concentrated in Chiapas, Mexico City, Yucatan, Jalisco, San Luis Potosi, Veracruz and Nuevo Leon.
In the world have reported more than 318 thousand 925 cases and three thousand and 917 deaths.
Influenza A (H1N1) is an illness that if treated early is curable, so people are encouraged, especially to chronically ill, to go immediately to the nearest health unit when presenting symptoms of respiratory disease.

So you’re tying to be coy about saying my first amendment right to explain why I think this hype is overblown, should not be tolerated here? Is that it?
We can all think of people in our government who seem to share that type of view these days. It’s not a very flattering policy to adopt.
How many people have contracted H1N1? How many have died? Please link me to your post with that information in it.
Your welcome on this thread .
I look forward to read any swineflu article you post : )
Yep, just don’t dare post my opinion or the logical conclusions that come to mind though...
Ah thanks...

Louisville woman dies from H1N1-related illness
Posted: Oct 02, 2009 4:25 PM EDT
Updated: Oct 02, 2009 5:22 PM EDT
LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Metro health officials have confirmed that a 41-year-old woman died from the H1N1 virus on Sept. 21.
Metro Public Health and Wellness Director Dr. Adewale Troutman said the woman died from lung disease, likely pneumonia, related to the H1N1 virus.
“There were no apparent underlying medical complications in this patient,” Troutman said. “Of course, our thoughts and prayers go out to the family for the tragic loss of this young woman.”
He said her death doesn’t fit into the pattern of the disease so far.
SNIP
While this is the first H1N1-related death in Louisville, there have been others in Kentucky. A woman in her 50s died in Fayette County earlier this year. She also had significant underlying medical problems.
And health officials are investigating the death of a teen in Caldwell County from H1N1.
Meanwhile, the H1N1 vaccine is expected to arrive in Louisville by Oct. 6. The first doses will be administered to health care workers. More will arrive each week after that.
Vaccines will be made available to the public at no cost.
I post swineflu articles , if you don’t like what I post
Why don’t you contact the actual newspaper & writer of the article ?????
Maybe you can start a boycott on all the newspapers who’s articles you disagree with :)

Inflamed, Flooded Lungs Trigger Death by Swine Flu, Study Says
By Jason Gale
Sept. 29 (Bloomberg) — Swine flu is most dangerous when it causes the lungs to become inflamed, flood with fluid and fail to function, doctors in Australia and New Zealand found.
While a majority of people infected with the virus have a mild illness, a small number develop life-threatening disease, intensive-care specialists Steven Webb and Ian Seppelt said. The doctors described the most common of three main complications from the pandemic strain as flu A-associated acute respiratory disease syndrome, or “flaards.”
“Flaards — sometimes with associated multiple organ failure — is the most common syndrome and has the highest attributable mortality,” Webb and Seppelt wrote in an editorial in the September issue of the medical journal Critical Care and Resuscitation.
The new H1N1 influenza strain has killed at least 3,917 people and spread to 191 countries and territories since its discovery in Mexico and the U.S. in April. Hospitals in the Northern Hemisphere are bracing for a surge in flu cases in coming weeks, spurred by colder weather that promotes its spread. In Australia, flu patients occupied a quarter of beds in intensive-care units last winter and 178 died.
Cases may be peaking in Hong Kong. Average daily attendance at the city’s accident and emergency departments rose from 6,354 in the last week of August to 7,086 last week, according to a government statement on Sept. 25. The virus has killed at least 23 people in Hong Kong, including Alan Dick, principal of the Canadian International School, according to Natalia Leung, a department of health spokeswoman.
Intensive-care doctors in Australia and New Zealand are pooling data on more than 400 swine flu cases to describe disease patterns and treatment strategies, and inform the Northern Hemisphere countries about what to expect this winter.
‘Canary in the Coal Mine’
“ICUs are the ‘canary in the coal mine’,” Webb and Seppelt wrote in the editorial. “It is only by documenting the severe cases requiring intensive care that it is possible to get an idea of the overall impact of this new disease.”
In Victoria, Australia’s second most-populous state, the pandemic virus sickened about 5 percent of the population, with 0.3 percent of infected patients being hospitalized, health officials said in a study yesterday in the Medical Journal of Australia. One in five people admitted to the hospital were transferred to ICU, mostly because of severe respiratory failure.
Eighty-five percent of critically ill patients survived after staying an average of nine days in ICU. Almost three- quarters of these patients required mechanical ventilation to breathe and 7 percent needed to have their blood pumped through an artificial lung in a procedure known as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, or ECMO.
Lung Invader
In most cases, flu remains in the nose, throat and bronchi, where it causes a runny nose, sore throat and cough until the body’s immune systems eliminates it, usually within a week.
The new H1N1 strain may be at least 1,000 times more adept than seasonal flu at infiltrating the lower branches of the airway, said Yoshihiro Kawaoka, a virologist at the University of Tokyo, who has studied the viruses in non-human primates.
In severe cases, influenza can damage the capillaries surrounding the tiny grape-like sacs, known as alveoli, where gas is exchanged through the blood. Damaged alveoli can bleed, causing pulmonary hemorrhage and blood clots.
Inflammatory chemicals are produced by the immune system to fight the infection and repair the damage. An over-exuberant response can worsen the effect by filling the lungs with fluid and cause permanent scarring that restricts the lungs.
Bacterial Pneumonia
Besides flaards, the other predominant disease patterns associated with the pandemic flu virus are community-acquired bacterial pneumonia and an exacerbation by the virus of airflow limitation, Webb and Seppelt said.
Life-threatening infection may be more common in people with underlying health conditions, including morbid obesity, type-2 diabetes, cancer, a weakened immune system and chronic lung disease, they said. Pregnant women and those who recently gave birth also appear at higher risk.
Still, “many patients with flaards are young and previously well,” they said. In Australia, the median age of people dying from seasonal flu is 83. With the novel H1N1 virus, it is 51 years, the health department said in a report last week.
