What, Doug Hoffman (Conservative) will now be elected to Congress for SURE in upstate New York week after next.

The election will be canceled if it looks like Hoffman will win. The entire district will be under quarantine. It's for their own good, don'tchaknow.

Well, we also happen to agree on the horrendous holocaust known as ABORTION as well, then.

BTTT

Money, unions.

Oh... if kiddies stay home, parents don’t work, don’t pay more taxes.

Yet, they’ve made it a point to convince us that staying at home is worse re: spread, but fine for quarantine I guess.

?

"The doctor couldn’t believe it and asked if he could have one of the onions and place it under the microscope. She gave him one and when he did this, he did find the flu virus in the onion. It obviously absorbed the bacteria, therefore, keeping the family healthy."

Recently there was an e-mail going around that said DO NOT USE LEFT OVER CUT ONIONS. It said they get bacteria right away. All I know is I haven't got sick yet from using cut onion that I have put in my refrig and it has been there for days.

Great info. straightening the CDC lie that 36,000 die of the regular flu each year. People won’t listen because they want to think there is a cap on the number who will die from the swine flu and although 36,000 is a lot of dead people to me, some here think it is an acceptable number of flu deaths.

Actually, this virus does a job on the immune system for some people and they end up contracting bacterial infections like MRSA - the flesh eating bacteria.

Care to wager on that one? (I think that one’s a little over the top, but then again, you might win the bet!) One thing is for sure, we know that Odumbo will some how try to pull some kind of national emergency in late October 2012, if he is in big troubl in the polls, you can take that to the bank—if we are fully Mel Zelaya-ized by then.

We need to check on what powers he gave to himself under Executive Orders in the case of a “national emergency.”

You are absolutely correct. I tell my family and friends that one has to be Sherlock Holmes these days in almost every aspect of our lives, including illness because we can’t count on being told the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. When you have symptoms, research them. I don’t know what else to tell you that might help your conundrum. There isn’t enough space to write the differences in the diseases/conditions you mention. I do feel your pain. I am a nurse and I look up everything to refresh myself on the problem or issue at hand so I can be prepared and decide whether I need to see the doctor and, if so, what I need to tell him/her.

It is twice as deadly as the seasonal flu for epileptics.

I have a daughter with epilepsy.

Kids with epilepsy and other neurological disorders are dying twice what they would with seasonal flu.

That’s strange.

We never had this problem when Bush was president.

There should also be a:

"Yes, it, and other scenarios, is serious, and people should stock even more canned food, weapons and ammunition."

My son came down with some sort of illness - fever, coughing, etc. The doctor said it was probably the flu, but that the test to be sure was unreliable and therefore he didn’t use it. He gave us some Tamaflu and we took him home. He had only really seemed sick for about 3 days.

All of us had the flu shot (not the H1N1/swine shot, just the usual seasonal flu shot). So I suppose it was the regular flu, and he had mild symptoms because he’d been immunized. Or it could be H1N1.

My other son has it now, and if anything the symptoms look even milder in him. In any case, many kids around here are going through the same thing. I would hardly call it a reason to panic.
