No story/source yet--is this about Mexico? Or America? Or is it a global warning??
Whatever it might be, it seems the military may be taking over the streets before too long, using this sudden 'pandemic' as an excuse?!
Interesting.
Thanks.
I never heard or read that.
Here is a snippet from an article.
"The first case was seen in Mexico on April 13. The outbreak coincided with the President Barack Obamas trip to Mexico City on April 16. Obama was received at Mexicos anthropology museum in Mexico City by Felipe Solis, a distinguished archeologist who died the following day from symptoms similar to flu, Reforma newspaper reported. The newspaper didnt confirm if Solis had swine flu or not."
I just heard on the news today that it has now been confirmend that Felipe Solis did have Swine flu
Never waste a good crisis
Actually he will prolly handle this just like he handled the pirates.
He will just tax those that catch the flu.
Thanks, I’m looking back through my posts pages for the last day or two right now to find the thread that I’m remembering it was on. If/When I find that I will post it on this thread and include you in the ‘ping’. :)
Thanks also for the update that Solis’s status was confirmed.
am reading the opposite, that he did not have swine flu..

LOL - I like that one too. :)
A Pakistani, among those killed by flu
Sunday, April 26, 2009
The INER reported 15 deaths from the epidemic in National Institute of Respiratory Diseases
A Pakistani was the first foreigner to have died in Mexico, the victim of swine influenza. To his family, a group of about eight people, samples were taken for analysis and were given treatment with the antiviral oseltamivir. Sources from the Ministry of Health confirmed the death of Pakistan, which is part of the 20 deceased persons to whom it was found that the contracted swine influenza.
According to data collected by El Universal, Pakistani, which is not provided the name, joined the National Institute of Respiratory Diseases (INER) on April 16.
The Health Department detected its first case of swine influenza and released three days before the April 17 first epidemiological alert for an outbreak of atypical seasonal influenza. The alien died on Sunday April 19. His relatives were summoned to proportional one days after the medication and prevent the spread of the virus. INER in the 15 patients died, one at 11:30 am yesterday by a virus whose name did not clarify the institute’s director, Edgar Mondragon Armijo.

In terms that many on here will relate to, this is like DEFCON 3.
Not quite war warning, but right up there.
I made a post about what you brought up yesterday regarding “official causes of death”. While he may not have died FROM the swine flu itself, it doesn’t rule out the possibility that he had been exposed to it, was ‘carrying’ it, or was infected with it.
I also read that he died of a “heart attack” in an article yesterday. Whether he died of heart failure, multi-organ failure, respiratory failure, etc... what would his “autopsy report” read as the official cause of death.
There is speculation he had AIDS, and that he died of pneumonia, but then his AIDS would make him MORE susceptible to catching this “chimera flu”, and his AIDS would make it more likely for him to develop a secondary infection of pneumonia due to the body’s decreased ability to fight off this virus.
Regardless, I’m right now trying to compile information, and article links to eventually put on a page at my blog, so I’m going to try to document all info. I end up “going with” when I publish it... Thanks for letting me know about what you have found. :)
Thank you SO MUCH Lucy, you’re a gem! :)
See Lucy’s Post just above this, about the Pakistani victim I mentioned! :)
Good call.
I read it somewhere else, from a Mexican paper...one thing though, there is now a 4 yr old who had it in March
Was that in Mexico, too (the 4 year-old)?
“It wouldnt surprise me if this is a manufactured crisis to prevent large groups, such as the tea parties, from gathering in public.”
Good one! We’ll know if you are right if the problem evaporates July 5.
You are aware that this isn’t your regular old-fashioned “swine flu”. It’s possible you would have increased immunity, but this has genetic sequence matches in part with 2 or 3 different strains of swine flu, No. American Avian Flu, and a strain of human flu virus.
Just FYI. :)
This is one reason I wish they’d stop calling it “swine flu”. This flu can be spread human to human, and it’s not quite as ‘harmless’ as regular “old-fashioned” swine flu like you had...
My daughter has a name for it I like: “Chimera Flu” LOL
My thoughts exactly. With tea parties being planned, in many places, for May 30th and July 4th, this is the perfect opportunity for the government to declare large gatherings to be a 'health risk'.
