Sarcasm?

jennthebenn 04.27.2009 04:46 PM

Yes.

jennthebenn 04.27.2009 04:46 PM

I don't discount conspiracy theorists out of hand, but 90%?

Now the real fun begins.

I'll worry about it when I have to - when people I know/around me are affected.

Till then, business as usual. (yes locked up in my radio bunker, 8 miles beneath the surface of the earth)

I really wonder how many of these people wandering around with surgical masks follow up that strategy once they're in their office/home.

Thinking; taps, door handles, hands in mouth, nose, whatever orifice

seriously, there'd be no work force to keep the rich rich, how could "they" possibley benefit from killing 90% of people?

jon boy 04.27.2009 08:12 PM

at first i thought it was another one of those alerts that never seems to come to anything like sars or bird flu but this seems different somehow. its apparantly the same strain killed so many people back in 1918 but obviously things have changed since then. i am still not massively worried about it.

floatingslowly 04.27.2009 08:57 PM

^^^ just to be clear, it's the same thing as bird flu (h1n1 swine variant).

it's ALWAYS around (especially in pigs), but it's the jump to humans that causes concern (for humans).

if you truly are worried, wash yr fucking hands and take 3x recommended daily dose of zinc (to inhibit viral replication). protip: take the zinc with food to minimize nausea.

...and always remember to have a sun-shiney day.

I hope this helps.

I sneezed at Waterloo station today, and people looked at me with concern, then alarm, then they beat a polite retreat.

Danny Himself 04.28.2009 02:58 PM

My girlfriend has been sick for weeks now, nothing very serious, but just general ill health, cough, etc, so today she finally went to see a doctor. First thing they asked her is if she'd been to Mexico lately.

backstory: she has not been to mexico

I GUESS WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY HERE IS THAT EVERYBODY IS FREAKING OUT OVER THIS AND ITS WEIRD

gmku 04.28.2009 03:09 PM

I'm not feeling well.

Danny Himself 04.28.2009 03:17 PM

Have you been to Mexico lately?

gmku 04.28.2009 03:21 PM

Define lately.

Danny Himself 04.28.2009 03:25 PM

Since this whole swine flu shit kicked off? Last month or so?

gmku 04.28.2009 03:25 PM

No, but I've been to Mexicans.

Danny Himself 04.28.2009 03:30 PM

This article made me laugh. I like the fact that, a week ago, the headline 'Man returns from Mexico with the flu' would've seemed like a headline from the slowest news day ever.

Wow what a blast from the past. I broke that girl's jaw with my cock'n'balls. Don't worry. She got me back. Oh yes, she got me back.

[Sandbag] 04.28.2009 04:09 PM

I'm a bit worried. I remember the whole thing about the avian flu.. I don't know if those conspiracy theories about governments generating fear to control population or increase prices is true...It works in some degree, but I don't see it that way.

Thing is, the virus is out there, it's a mutation of a flu or something and the symptoms can be easily treated. Thing is, if it's not the avian flu, or the swine flu or whatever, it'll be another thing, a new mosquito transmitted disease caused by global warming or whatever. If the governments, people, hospitals and healthcare system dont work as they should and provide the necessary service, any contagious disease might turn to be a pandemic and appear on the covers of every single newspaper in the world.

i think it's a conspiracy to sell newspapers more than anything, not that the stories aren't true, but they spin them to make papers seem more like they are a neccessary & important purchase and reading the story will help avoid dying from swine flu/bird flu/cancer/heart disease/hurricane katrina/AIDS/SARS/al qaeda/nine eleven/taliban/tsunami/credit crunch/credit crisis/global econoic collapse/hive collapse syndrome/pollution/global warming/melting ice caps/asteroids/millenium virus/nigerian internet scammers/serial killers/high school massacres/race riots/MRSA/IRA/UDF/Muslims/Israelis/africanized bees/paedophiles/fritzels/shipman...etc, i'm sure there must be things i haven't mentioned.

Really? I knew the regular flu killed but this seems high.

Rob Instigator 04.28.2009 05:00 PM

I had old info. the flu vaccines have cut down flu death in USA and worldwide
In USA, there are around 70 thousand flu deaths a year.

Death rate extrapolations for USA for Flu: 69,729 per year, 5,310 per month, 1,225 per week, 174 per day, 7 per hour, 0 per minute, 0 per second. Note: this automatic extrapolation calculation uses the deaths statistic: 69,730 annual deaths for influenza and pneumonia (NVSR Sep 2001); estimated 20,000 deaths from flu (NIAID)

Flu deaths worldwide estimated a over half a million a year.

it is mostly the very young and the very old who get pneumonia and die as a result of the flu.

In the flu outbreak of 1918-1919, between 20 and 100 million are thought to have died from the flu.

DAMN!
