Swine Flu
« on: May 06, 2009, 11:19:46 pm »
Be alert, my sources have told me that it has now evolved into Hamthrax.

LMAO!  I like the hamthrax thing...
It's just a version of the flu.  Same thing.  And eating pork can't make you sick from swine flu-cooking it kills the virus.  Every year the flu kills LOTS of people-this is just one particular strain of it out of hundreds.

Yeah, it's all media fear mongering.

If you need some info about the swine flu here is a great site http://www.medicinenet.com/swine_flu/article.htm it answer any question you maybe thinking about. And you can't get the swine flu from eating pork. Some symptoms are fever, vomiting, cough, soar throat, etc. check out the site..

Yeah, it's all media fear mongering.

Until you can prove that the "hysteria" had no positive effects (ie making people much more aware of the spread, letting people know they should see a doctor immediately if symptoms arise, reminding people over and over to wash hands and such, etc.), there's really no point in calling this fear mongering.  It's necessary hysteria as far as I'm concerned...the constant discussion had no negative effects outside of some people getting tired of hearing it...in which case, turn the TV off.

i think countries are over extragging the swine flu.. over 300,000 people come down with the flu each year.. and we heard about 120 cases of swine flu?? big deal...

I believe the media had a lot to do with the over exaggeration of the swine flu epidemic.  Yes, you have to be very careful of any flu.  Was there something else going on in Mexico to cause so many deaths or a lack of health care?  Will we ever know?   :dontknow:

Rising health care costs?  The media blows everything way out of proportion, and covers only the terrible, and awful happenings in the world.
