Life Is swine flu gonna be the next flu of 1919?

tooge · 04-28-2009, 01:10 PM

I know, I know, call me an alarmist, but the last H1N1 type A flu was the pandemic of 1919 that killed millions around the globe. This is some scary chit. I wanted to offer my place as refuge when the run on food and arms happens. I will create a compound. All I ask is that I am referred to as "Him".

Seems mild so far, but I guess it was back then too at first.

Cali just reported two possible deaths, so that'd be an escalation.

I was in Mexico two weeks ago.

*squeal*

I've already got QTY 1,000 surgical grade masks. I intend to sell the remainder for a hefty profit.

Meh. This planet needs an enema.

Pioli had swine flu, it's why he picked the guy in the first round

Yes. It has flared up in Kansas, hasn't it?

The strain is actually being transfered from person to person by those so called "green" bags that you see at target, hi vee, etc, evidently since you reuse those so much they gather germs

Here's an interesting article from last October. Seems to suggest that exposure to the mild spring version of the flu helps protect you against the more severe wave of the illness that hits in the fall.

According to these guys we should all expose ourselves toot-sweet:

No. We have much better medicine and medical availability now. It won't even be close.
