it's as bad as SARS and Bird flu.
WHICH ARE RAVAGING OUR FUCKING BODIES OH GOD HELP.
this is no-one's concern but medical professionals and farmers. I'd go so far as to suggest the media who report on this more than it needs to be should be fucked for terrorism.

Not a concern. There is plenty of vaccine avaliable and the authorities are aware of the affliction and hopefully should take the proper precautions. When it has killed over 1000 people in one country alone i might start to take notice.
Well... I don't exactly know that it's "worldwide". I wouldn't have thought it sufficiently ubiquitous. And the death toll is around 150-200, last I heard. So I'm not exactly worried.Wikipedia said:
That having been said, the total suspected cases is more like 3000 or so. Which is a little more worrying.
But really, I'm not concerned. I wasn't seriously concerned for SARS, either. Australia is pretty well off with these things, being so isolated.
It's something to keep an eye on. If it spreads wide, there's no certainty that you'll get a deadly strain, but you might. It's kinda diverse like that, apparently. Could just get the regular ol' flu, or you could get infested and develop exploding syndrome (that's what FOX said anyway... >.> JOKE).
I'm not too worried. Just cautious.

it have killed 146 in mexico no wait that number was adjusted down because people actually die of other diseases than this new "pandemic"Mr_spamamam said:
This. Every other new disease has been hyped to the sky by the media, only for it to have a fairly limited effect globally. I remember when they were saying half a million people could die from bird flu. They are now saying the same thing about swine flu. I doubt it'll be a serious problem.Jackpot said:
Also: use the Search button! This is at least the fourth thread on swine flu in two days!
As of this morning there have been just over 160 deaths with reported cases of swine flu in Mexico.
If you read into it a little more, what news companies fail to mention is that so far only 7 cases were actually confirmed as swine flu.
And thats out of a population of what? At a conservative guess..... 10million? People need to bear this in mind before they start proclaiming that the end of the world is nigh!
There is no reason as yet to worry about swine flu any more than a runny nose.

NOT REPLYING TO THAT GUY, TALKING IN GENERAL
Also, the sky won't be falling on our heads today. it's been said over and over. The sky isn't falling, stop panicking.
One has no control or knowledge about this, and anything you try to spread about this makes it even worse.
So that's why it was so hard to infect in the game Pandemic. Now it makes sense.MaxTheReaper said:
50 millions then the next flu in 57' killed 2 millions and the last real flu killed 1 million so not so many are going to dienikki191 said:
