Napolitano declares public health emergency @ 1:01 pm by Eric Zimmermann
The United States will declare the swine flu outbreak a public health emergency, Homeland Security Director Janet Napolitano said today.
Speaking at a White House press briefing, Napolitano said the declaration is not as severe it sounds.
"It allows us to free up state and local resources" that otherwise would not be available, Napolitano said.
The declaration does not necessarily convey the authority to initiate quarantines.
"We're nowhere near that kind of decision," Napolitano said.
Also at the briefing, the Director of the Center for Disease Control, Richard Besser, warned that there will likely be more cases of the swine flu detected in the U.S., adding those cases will grow more severe.
Because it is abject nonsense. The whole thing is a ruse designed to create an outbreak of PANIC! People don’t be fooled by these damn clowns who are just looking for ways, or running tests, to find ways to grab more power. If there is anything to this then state and local officials will sound the alarm.
I'm not going near a Walmart for the foreseeable future. Who knows how many of our “immigrants” are traveling back and forth to visit family in Mexico, etc.?
She is a very good friend of Killer Tiller.
They can't let her get the position. She would seal the fate for the pro life movement for the next 4 years.
The last acting head of HHS wanted to stay on, but the ONE put the cabash on it.

Interesting that this was written in 2007, but I guess I am just reserving my seat on the bus by posting this!
I need to get outside in the sun and take off the cap I guess.
What part of Ohio are you from? I’m in the Cincinnati area.
I saw this a little while ago, thought...well you know

About 10 minutes.
Listen to the video. Notice the details.
The government has been out of control for a long time.
Most of the schools in the East dont start until Sept. Our school goes until June 17th.
This thing hits the schools and they may have to wrap up early.
LOL. If they were adorned in a mask, gloves and hairnet, you may be okay...
As for that bag of Salad Mix sitting in your fridge that you bought last night -- good luck, buddy ;)
How about thius gal! She has experience too.
Twenty live people out of 300 million have the ‘flu, and we’re having a national emergency? Is this to distract from Obama’s wanting to limit an arrested person’s rights?
Go back to bed, America. Your government has figured out how it all transpired. Go back to bed, America. Your government is in control again... Here you go, America! You are free to do what we tell you! You are free to do what we tell you!
I really miss her; she was a master debater.
I suspect it will hit them, but do we close our schools every year when the flu season starts?
We’re going postal here, and I’m not convinced this is going to be worse than any other flu season mortality wise.
We shall see. During our first eleven cases, not one person died that I am aware of yet.
Wrong term...
She was a master bater.
There were a stack of them on the counter. In Spanish.
I asked the Mexican lady behind the counter if they had a copy in English.
She rummaged around somewhat and found one for me.
She looked at me like I was a foreigner
Sorry folks, to the govt - “pandemic” is in the same realm as disasters and “bioterrorism”, and falls under the authority of DHS. In fact, it is listed as one of the reasons they would institute martial law if necessary.
This has been true a while and has been a concern of mine for over a year. I do not think people are prepared for a long term forced quarantine.
Is she the one who liked to listen to Error Clapner?
What area are you in?
Check out my tagline! I’m trying to create a stimulus around here! ;0)
