Swine Flu! Mexico city

[Rang3]

Mass hysteria is not needed, at least not to those of us in the states, yet.

149 have died in Mexico but none in any other country its been reported. There are around 300 possible cases in other countries, and 2,000 more cases in Mexico. It seems to me that it's concerning enough that it needs to be monitored, but not yet at the point of saying that we could face major death tolls in developed countries. What's worrying though, is the situation in Mexico itself, I have friends down there myself.

 

[urdailywater]

There were reports of about a billion possible deaths.
People may be getting a bit TOO freaked out over it. http://www.thenation.com/blogs/thebeat/430261?rel=hp_picks

Anyways, hopefully it doesn't hurt many more people. And I hope Mexico comes through ok. Sounds pretty bad down there..

It definetly shouldn't be game over for everyone though. Hopefully our healthcare systems can contain it.

Shoot, California? New York too? Europe also? Darn, this thing is everywhere....
Personally, it might not be that big, but I still don't want to catch it.

 

[zrky]

My teacher was telling me that the whole of the san Antonio schools were closed today because of 3 cases.

Anyway, I feel really bad because I lived in Mexico City 9 years, and im hopping all my friends and such are OK, especially one that could never not be sick Im really sad......

Anyone know someone close that has this flu?

 

[Deap]

the best thing u can do to prevent catch this flu is..

stay in ur Home

Amazing time for a school trip to florida.

Way to go.

i said this in another thread talking about the flu, but ill say it here as well i guess..
*is scared*

 

[kirbywizard]

The main reason why it is so bad in Mexico (they also just got an earth quake) is because it seems the swine flu was there for about a month.

After recovering from my third respiratory infection this year, I'm not really in the mood for a stupid swine flu .

I doubt this thing will transform into a new Spanish flu, but I can understand why it's so important to attempt containing it. That thing killed more people than WWI.

It is harder to contain pandemics this day and age, mostly because the so many possible ways it can travel now! It shouldn't be to big if people are clean like me.

Just learned about the swine flu today, pretty scary stuff, hope everyone the best.

 

[ChaosKnight]

dont get freaked out guys it is a flu but remember That not everyone who gets it will die...

i recently got sick too

funny thing is it was about the same day this swine flu was discovered. The thing is mine developed from first a stuffy nose, next day it was sore throat and stuffy nose, and the next day it was sore throat,coughing,stuffy nose, fever headache..etc... butt thats just standard stuff and now im back to stuffy and really minor cause...

just saying it wont kill everyone .. so dont get to scared of it

Does this seem like just another one of those "next bane of human existance" type things that keep popping up all the time, or is it just me?

They always kill a few people, scare the p*ss out of everyone, and then dissapear and then no one cares anymore. Most of the time this sort of stuff only harms people with poor immune systems, or unhealthy living styles. As of April 24, there are less than 200 cases of Swine flu in the U.S. 90% recovered, the other 10% being people over the age of 65...The flu kills three hundred to five hundred thousand people a year. I don't understand what people get worked up about. Someone fill me in about why this is such a big thing.

 

[smashbot226]

First it's mad cow disease. Then it's the bird flu.

Now it's swine flu?!? WE NEED TO KILL EVERYTHING NOT ON TWO LEGS.

That, or we should start taking into consideration of what we're eating.

Way more people die from drunk driving.
But this is OBVIOUSLY more important. Seriously, swine flu is a "Hollywood pandemic." This little break out will end in two months, and nobody will fear it. Chill out, and start preventing stuff that might actually cause damage. (DRUNK DRIVING)

 

[SuperBowser]

Uhh, you guys realise that the Spanish Flu killed around 60 million people worldwide?

There's very good reason to be worried about this virus. Not that I support panicking about it.

 

[KoreanDJ111]

RUN TO THE HILLS!!!

This calls for Dr. Stiles from Trauma Center. He's handled stuff like this before.

 

[KosukeKGA]

He'll draw green antibiotic stars to freeze time to take care of patients one by one!

 

[Dual Kirby]

not good...the flus made its way to my home state (nj) not surprising considering how close we are to ny but still i need to be more careful now and dr stiles needs to take care of zombie cancer first...

 

[slave1]

you cant kiss on the mouth or have contact with the hand.

so its still ok to do it... i guess they have to let the people have some cheer in their life

 

[kirbywizard]

There are rumors going around the school that a kid at our school had swine flu. It is only rumors though.

 

[_Phloat_]

Yea, my eight year old brother said someone in his class had it -_-.


Funny how these things will spread =\

 

[victra♥]

It's in alberta now apparently. I'm scared.

 

[Skrah]

Don't be. Seriously people are becoming paranoid right now.

If you take your precautions you should be safe. Just don't go to public enclosed spaces like clubs or restaurants, and do NOT travel by plane.

 

[smash64]

the swine flu is only gonna get worst by time and this was started by the goverment

 

[ChaosKnight]

hahaha xD oh mannnn ..... thats a good one haha

 

[kirbywizard]

No one really cares, or is bothered were I am. Even though it is getting closer to my area. But nah we have bigger troubles then some simple swine flu , and those troubles are to get rid of that annoying bug killing our vineyards

 

[smash64]

this could be the begining of 2012..

 

[kirbywizard]

this could be the begining of 2012..

Y2k remember what happened.....**** thats what! Besides most of those darn theorizes are wrong, heck the Maya calender was mistranslated.

Everyone just has to take care of themselves and it should be fine. It is bad in Mexico because it has spread and mutated more over there.

 

[smash64]

that is true but still there are so many stuff that to goverment are doing that ppl dont even know about, if you go to youtube and look at this guy videos you will be surprice of the thing we dont realize here is the link for those ppl that are interested in whats happening today http://www.youtube.com/user/Earthlasthope

lol I work in a restaurant xD

Yay!

Well, just be clean, and get help if you feel sick at all. Play it safe, but don't lock yourself in your basement. It doesn't look too scary yet, so unless it evolves into something worse, it shouldn't be too bad. As long as you're smart about it, you're good.

 

[kigbariom]

Swine flu doesn't have that ring to it like 'avian bird flu'. It feels like there's something missing. ___ swine flu. Or swine ____ flu...

The kid was only 2 years old, there was no way he could survive without antibodies he could needed. I feel really sorry for that kid but the old and the young are the ones that will die first.

Well there was a confirmed case where I live and on top of that we have the center of the drug war like 15 minutes from my house -___- this sucks.....

 

[Dual Kirby]

wanna know whats funny theres 66 cases in 6 states across the us what do you get when you put those numbers together...it seems that the flu is definitely picking up tho sucks about that baby dying he never head a chance... im not religious or anything just think its kinda ironic
