I can't believe how much they made the swine flu seem dangerous and if you still think it's dangerous it is just the regular flu with the word swine put in front of it that's all it is.
What the hell happened to Swine Flu?

Why thank you! It's a side effect of seeking more information from reputable sources rather than just covering my eyes and blocking out the hype.Toners said:Danny Ocean said:one appears to know one's shiti think you've simultaneously put down about a million arguments AND get incredibly technical AND won several long post awards. nice
unfortunately there IS no prize for this, bar mock "you win the internet" ones, so i suppose you can have that?
Dude, read the thread. I don't want my lovely long post to be ignored just because it's on the third page.Freakout456 said:
I believe the so called BS was Miss California's anti-homosexual response to a question posed during the Miss USA pageant. I didn't follow the response, but the reaction seemed somewhat overblown. I mean, everyone's entitled to their own opinion, and what Miss C said wasn't neo-Nazi or anything along those lines. Yet, I don't know of any outrage when Miss Teen South Carolina was asked about Americans' inability to find their country on a map, and her answer mentioned a region called "the Iraq".iain62a said:
Yeah, it's in Australia now. Mainly in Victoria, but there's been a few cases in Sydney too. Someone brought it in on a cruise liner.
Some school kids had it in Victoria, and when they came back from holidays, they were told that they had to have a week off school. Lol, the media made it out that the kids would be upset that they got another week off school...

but dont worry, in a few months they will have amphibian flu.
But recently swine flu came to ireland - a few days ago two infected people were discovered. but I think they are being treated and the governement is sorta overdoing the containment, I mean, we have signs everywhere about the symptoms and what to do and stuff...But its good that in this day and age we can quickly stomp out a potential pandemic.
Nice to look on the bright side eh?littlelacysurprisepageant said:
Don't worry about swine flu, or bird flu or any of those. The one you should be worried about is the upcoming pandemic of man-flu!
In Britain it's taken it about two months to infect 200 people.
I never thought it was a threat in the first place and even less so now.
It's not strong enough to kill people and not contagious enough to infect everyone.
Now Murphy's Law states I will catch it and die. Grr.

Ok, so now is the time for references, I guess.
Official WHO report (18th of May)
In section 5, it states that the majority of deaths has happened has occurred in people below the age of 60.
Furthermore, in section 8 it states that a substantial proportion of severe cases of Influenza A, which is the correct term for this flu, has occurred among young and previously healthy people.
In section 9, however, it does state that people with underlying medical conditions are also more prone to having severe cases. It is always like that with diseases, though.
In regards to the spread level, I will give you the benefit of doubt as I can't find any information on this making my earlier post based on my memory.
The Swine Flu was just normal flu that doctors overeacted to to try increase antibiotics sales. It's NOT real
