H1N1?

Yikes. I was just in Tijuana last week...

Yikes. I was just in Tijuana last week...

That's pretty daring with all the cartel activity. Flu is bad. Beheading is worse.

Yikes!

And I’ve been concerned about SARS and H5N1!

Maybe Ayers will get his wish, what did he say? 25 million. But that was years ago. I imagine he and the Marxist Kenyan are looking at higher numbers now.

testing to determine susceptibility to the neuraminidase inhibitor drugs oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir is under way.

I saw a 'secret report' yesterday about all those dead Polo ponies. They died very quickly and their lungs were filled with blood. My suspicion is that ponies may have been used in a bioweapons test. Not a word about autopsy results have appeared in the lapdog media. 'Nuff said here.

If you know about horses, then you understand that Mexicans do a lot of the work. Terrorists from the ME could be disguised as Hispanics. The Kentucky Derby looms in the background. Just my private speculation.

Have a great day . . .

Pharmacy admitted med formulation error killed the horses.

So’s getting stuck in one of their jails waiting for payolla.

Plenty plausible.

There is a thread hereon somewhere new about the pony’s dying of a bad drug combo.

Could be a cover story.

[ex-Texan]

In my private opinion, that ‘bad vitamins’ report is a cover story. All the horses that died had lungs filled with blood.

Yeah,

that sounded pretty extreme, to me, too.

But I’m far from a veterinarian!

There is a ton of press out of Canada about the Mexico flu - rather than post all the articles separately, I’ll just link to a discussion at PFI (hope that’s ok - I’m new at posting here) http://www.singtomeohmuse.com/viewtopic.php?t=3228&start=75&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=

“The illness has killed at least 20 people in Mexico, mostly men between the ages of 25 and 44...”

Just like 1918...the pandemic stuff goes after the healthier ones first.

With the economy heading down, and when Obama got elected I knew it was doing to bad. And feared that this might be one of those “Biblical” episodes in History, and several times posted that a pandemic would be close on the heals to bring a “final touch” to the whole mess. Sort of like the Dust Bowl combined with the Great Depression thing, only worse.

I sure hope that I’m wrong.

Not the best thing to run across when you’re trying to recover from Acute Bronchitis! LOL

Prayers for all those affected.

Actually it's been announced that they died from misformulated vitamin supplements. Local pharmacy screwed up, making one of the ingredient way too strong. Many vitamins, "D" for instance, can be hazardous in high dosages.
