Errr, I'm one of the good guys and I always donate to those police solicitors when they call, k?

People are coughing around me. They sneeze. They cough some more. I hate it. I'm starting to itch all around. Another cough. In my nightmares, coughs and heat, coughs and heat. I wake up in a pool of sweat. I itch terribly.

I believe that is an accurate statement, however. If you are contagious before being symptomatic, I'd guess that the virus would spread more rapidly.

kcfanXIII 04-29-2009 05:19 PM
my point is, there are a relatively small number of confirmed cases. sure take the extra precautions so it does not spread, but it not like the movie outbreak, or as we've discussed, 28 days later. (thank god)

further, i don't see how this any different than the shit they've tried to scare us with in the past 7 years or so. its just fear mongering.

I remember SARS and not being nearly as worried as I am now...maybe because it started in SE Asia not Mexico...:shrug:

I'm not about to get naked and run around my neighborhood about it, but it IS real. I suppose over the next few weeks, we'll all see how nasty it is.
Laughing is a way of handling a bad situation. It can seem disrespectful (my brother and I have been known to crack bad jokes at funerals because we're nervous and uncomfortable) but it's natural and shouldn't be seen as people taking a situation too lightly.

It seems to be doing just fine with spreading globally. 91 confirmed cases in 10 states, 2,500 in Mexico (with 159 deaths) and is now showing up in Canada, Britain, Israel, New Zealand, Spain, Germany and Austria.

This whole flu thing has officially pissed me off. My wife worked her a$$ off for her company to earn a 7 day all expense paid vacation (me included) to Cancun. The trip was supposed to be the last week of May and today they canceled the trip. If this whole thing blows over next week I will be more pissed. (Disclaimer: Yes I realize my missed vacation pales in comparison next to the people who have died, but I am going to b!tch anyway. I am more pissed at the virus, not the company that canceled the trip. However, I am pretty sure the amount of tequilla I would have drank would have killed off anything that I could have possibly caught.)

Also, have you seen 28 weeks later. Not quite as good as the first, but there are a few scenes in that movie that are just raw, and completely F'ed up.
In the Subway with the night vision comes to mind. That was cool.

Donger - not really laughing at as in it's not serious. Just nothing can do about but wait and see and laughing about it makes it easier.

Thousands of rats! With little red eyes; like his, only smaller.

Rats! Rats! Rats! Thousands! Millions of them! All red-blood! All these will I give you, if you will obey me!
