Is swine flu gonna be the next flu of 1919?

[tooge]

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".

[The Franchise]

Deal

[WoodDraw]

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.

[Dartgod]

I was in Mexico two weeks ago.

*squeal*

[Donger]

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

[Frazod]

Meh. This planet needs an enema.

[Demonpenz]

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

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Meh. This planet needs an enema.

It's nothing more than planet Earth snackin on the stupid.

[Frazod]

It's nothing more than planet Earth snackin on the stupid.

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

[Demonpenz]

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

[teedubya]

you live near Lees Summit, right tooge?... er, ah "HIM"?

[RINGLEADER]

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.

1918 not 1919

whatever the reason,that flu could cripple you. I don't hear the same symptoms.

No.

Unless they are surgical medical masks, then they are useless.

[Donger]

Yes, they are. Hence why I wrote "surgical grade."

Hopefully this is done for by June.. I have a wedding in Mexico to go to..

Beware the Ape Flu.

I admire your transparency.

[JOhn]

Sweet, when the death starts I can hole up here in the mt's. I looked forward to denying sanctuary to all the Donk fans here...errr unless they are cute :p

[Lonewolf Ed]

It will not be as bad. It will be far, far worse than anyone can possibly imagine! This will be a mega-giga-super-pandemic! The streets will be cluttered with tumbleweeds and corpses! Vomit will explode with force from the anus and diarrhea will be propelled from the mouth! It will be worse than campaign commercials. Prepare, fools, for the earth will NEVER be the same again!

[BWillie]

I'm not scared of the Swine Flu. What's it's mortality rate? 5%?

We made it past Ebola and that was in Africa where they can't quarantine anything really. And that shit makes you bleed out of all body openings and kills just about everybody it comes in contact with. Now that would suck.

[Lonewolf Ed]

Yes, they are. Hence why I wrote "surgical grade."

Ah, now I see the connection!

[Fish]

Well the bird flu crap didn't kill us all off.... and we know pigs can't fly...

[Donger]

Seriously though, if more of you nasty f*ckers would just wash your hands more often, this wouldn't be an issue.

What about your legs? :Poke:

**** that, gotta give the immune system something to fight off. Washing your hands is so overrated.

[Donger]

That's an urban myth that I rather not be brought up again.

[Buzz]

LMAO

[tooge]

Ok, y'all have been warned. I'm only gonna have room on the Liberty toogidian compound for maybe 40 families. Each will get a quarter acre or so and only have to contribute 10% to me, and your wife of course.

Can I bring my pet pig?

[tooge]

Can I bring my pet pig?

Will he fit in a smoker?

[Buzz]

Will he fit in a smoker?

That might irritate his cough...

[CrazyPhuD]

See you know why this shit happens?

Pig Fuckers.....if we didn't have pig fuckers this shit wouldn't cross the species boundary. The moral of the story is I don't care if you're fucking a pig you should still use protection you dirty bastards!

[BigRedChief]

Yes, they are. Hence why I wrote "surgical grade."
Still minorly effective. I wouldn't trust them. You may have a .015 better chance wearing those masks over someone whos not wearing a mask but thats about it. Ask anyone in health care. Masks are virtualy worthless against swine flu.

[chasedude]

Mom's gonna fix it all soon. Mom's comin' round to put it back the way it outta be...

[Brock]

It's the flu, not polio.

I don't really care if they are effective.

[BWillie]

It's the flu, not polio.

Yes, but from what I've read it affects people with good immune system even worse than those that are old, young, or generally feeble because it caused the immune system to overreact...potentially killing you and filling your lungs up with fluids, etc. Kinda scary, as I have a good immune system...or bad in this case.

Props for the tool reference

Heh. I just looked at my stash. They are N95 masks from 3M, apparently now on back-order.

I'm going to make a killing. I'm going to the grocery store tonight and I'm going to wear one. Should be interesting.

So, what ur sayin' is that a bunch of tree-huggin' hippies are to blame?! I knew it!!!

[Stewie]

Thanks tooge, but I've got an acre with a vegetable garden doing well. Plus, there are more deer here than anyone around here could ever eat. Now, if it were deer flu I'd be fucked.

[Otter]

I hope it's the big one and then the corpses rise from the dead as zombies.

It's go time baby! Go time!!! :bang:

[JohnnyV13]

In "The Stand", Stephen King called it the "Super-flu"

[Gonzo]

Well, u wanna talk about the suck. I'm in cali right now doing work stuff and the wife calls me last night, rushing the boy (9 months) to the hospital running a 102. Talk about a helpless feeling.

Ick. But 102 isn't that high a temperature for a little one. I wouldn't have taken him in to where all the other sick people go, personally.

I hope he gets better soon.

My kids' doctor is pretty old school. One time my boy had a 104.5 and she said, "Stick him in the tub with ice water."

Dude that's not a surgical mask it's a dust mask and that N stands for not oil proof and the 95 means it's only 95% effective against dust. But at least your going to have fun shopping.

He'll be ok man. I've had to go through that shit time after time. Feed that kid the maximum doses of Tylenol for day and see what happens.

If people start getting sick around me my ass isn't leaving the house for a couple days or weeks. Let's see work fire me for staying home during a pandemic.

[MOhillbilly]

caught a new strain of flu that was going around 4-5 years ago, got me down. worst part was i had about 30 dogs at the time and it was bitter cold,everytime i took a breath i would cough and hack. felt like i was being beat with ball bats.

Oh you got the good ones. The 95 still means it's only guaranteed to be 95% effective. I guess that's a lot better than 0%. Put them on ebay and make sure your buyers know you accept peso's. Make sure you let us know what happens at the store it should be fun.

I went to the store with a mask, but I couldn't bring myself to put it on.

Sad to see we have our first death from this bug, too.
