I would be more worried about that sorry ass football team yall have in texas....
LOL anyways.... im not worried about frikkin pig flu... It would be fun to go to an airport terminal this afternoon and walk around coughing, sneezing, hacking and stuff... and see what happens. :evil
I'm not sure what I am at this point. I think I'm just bewildered. I was confused when 20 possible cases became a national issue. It's like someone knows something they aren't telling.
I'm not worried. Obama says there is no reason to panick and that he is in constant contact with the experts. As long as Obama is having conversations with the experts then what is there to worry about?
Look, if you aren't prepared, get prepared, dont be a dumbas and get caught with your pants down. Have a place to go to out of the cities.
The media is just bored.. This stuff is going on all the time. Its only till main stream media throws it everybodies face and then bammm... instant pandemonium.
I'm going to start digging a hole in the back yard and build a compound like the Umbrella Corporation (Resident Evil) to protect myself from the zombies......
First off, this flu has NOTHING to do with "swine" Its technical name is the H1N1 Virus. Calling it the swine flu would be like in a few years for no F'ing reason calling it the "Graingers Flu" LOL
Second off, RIGHT now there are more than 1000 cases already. The only reason there have only been 300 reported is because there are only 300 OFFICIALLY reported.
Over 100 cases in 1 School in NYC.
This is worse than what there actually telling you. Im just glad i am basically isolated from all people---unless a CAT engine has the flu on a drill rig, most 95% of my contact with people is over the phone.
MY wife on the other hand......... Being she works at a golf course ...... I think she will be alright.
Honestly I'm not concerned one bit. But let's say some happens and it turns into some wide spread thing just think of all the obama supporters and anti americans that will simply vanish because they are 2 dumb 2 plan anything or be pre pared for a diaster like that.
we actually got that e-mail right after we responded to a medical for flu-like symptoms. when we got back to the station we were all issued masks to wear for all medical calls nowLOLLOL
Facklesaurus. Need to do some reading on the symptoms. My brothers got the flu right now, but he lives 1.5 hours from the closest town, so I'm not too worried about him.
I just got out of a work trip to Monterrey Mex. I wasn't looking forward to that one at all!! Now it looks like I get to go to steel mill in Blytheville AR, then to a mine out in Utah.
Considering flu or complications from flu results in over 20,000 deaths per year in the U.S. alone, this is just another version of the same old thing. Every year new strains of the flu emerge, and there's always a few that spread rapidly. This particular strain just happens to get media attention. It's just as treatable as any other flu strain, and just like any other strain, you can die if you don't take care of yourself and put off treatment.... or if you are physically in bad shape to begin with or are elderly.
That's the thing... most strains of flu pose the exact same threat. This one is really no different. It's just a new strain, so there's no vaccine available en-masse yet, but it's coming soon.
