    This whole "swine flu" thing is a f*cking joke. I can't believe that it's getting this much coverage. It's a f*cking form of influenza that is hardly as bad as a regular cold. Take some Robitussin and quit b*tching.

    As I posted in another thread, this virus has mutated quickly and could very easily mutate again to become much more deadly. Already 160 dead in ole Mexico.

    Maybe because their healthcare and basic living conditions suck. They can't even source everyday medicine like Tylenol Cold. Seriously, just swallow some vitamin C, take you cold medicine if you start coughing, and call it a day. This whole "breakout" bit is a crock.

    Well in that case u didn't even bother to read and research about it. Regular otc only decrease the s/s of the disease not tx. It's only a temporarily fix. Simonttbet post up the real precautions that you should take. I am not gonna make this into argument but rather informative. read the webtsite

    Summary of Website Advice
    1) Wash your hands.
    2) Don't hang around people that are sick.
    3) Common sense is a virtue and people buying into this "killer swine flu" bullsh*t are retarded.

    HOLY HELL that was THE BEST thing I have heard...

    BUT LISTEN.

    The deaths in Mexico, not even ALL are CONFIRMED deaths. Like said, their health care is different. We have known now that is is coming, people are prepared. As the government says, RIGHT NOW, it is not a cause for alarm, just wash your hands as you would if trying to not catch the regular flu.

    You all do know over 30,000 people die in the US EACH YEAR from the regular flu, and nearly 300,000 worldwide. Also we are almost out of any flu season, and they say it can't live during the summer. It can come back, yeah sure, BUT in that time a vaccine will be made.

    The ONLY thing you can do is not be stupid and go to infected places, wash your hands, cover your mouth when sneezing and all, if you are sick stay home and call the doctor, etc.

    "As I posted in another thread, this virus has mutated quickly and could very easily mutate again to become much more deadly. Already 160 dead in ole Mexico."

    Sure it can, does it mean it will become more deadly? What about NOT as deadly? Nobody knows, but I have faith we have some of the best scientist working non stop on figuring this out, and so far they are doing a good job I think. 160 dead is far from a plague type thing that everyone is so scared of. That's not even as much as the regular flu can kill. PLUS many of the confirmed deaths the patients waited too long for any treatment, once a bad state of pneumonia sets in you are in trouble no matter what strain of a virus you have.

    I've tried waiting a week and seeing if it's good again, but it's just...dead. I thought it was healthy to rub one out a couple times every couple hours. I thought I was building penimuscle.

    I am going to have a dirty, swine flu infested Mexican cough in a glass jar and then I will seal it up and bring it back to Georgia and release the brown death.


    lol



    Has anyone heard the rumor that this actually started in California and then that person went to Mexico to visit?

    Word is now it's decreasing its rapid spreading and becoming not as bad as they thought.

    Quit freaking out, if your girlfriends brother is at school he is fine, if a kid has it in the school, then I would be worried. It doesn't just float in the air and travel state to state lol.

    Really though, the REAL thing to do is what has been said in here. Face masks? Fuck no, not unless you are all around sick people or in Mexico. Basically for me personally, if it's not in my AREA, I won't even worry yet. I will wash me hands and all in case someone has it, but I won't sit at home and be afraid to breathe. As for the deaths in Mexico, correctly I think 17 or 19 maybe were 100% confirmed from the swine flu.

    I think the media is all over this because it was discovered, and was new. There is no vaccine or official cure, some medicines work if taken early, but the fear for such an outbreak has been on peoples minds for years. Bird flu, SARS, etc. The media showed so much of it because of the reported deaths rising daily, then the fast spreading to different states. It's serious, but hopefully it shows to be not as serious as they thought.

    I do hate the comparison to the Spanish Flu and such in the past, I mean that was what, 1918? Of course millions died, the technology was not around, they knew nothing we know now.

    FYI the child who died here in the US was a mexico citizen and came here for healthcare.. I have two doctors in my family and neither of them including my step dad are that worried. The ONLY reason we have changed our annual family trip from Mexico is because we have 5 children under the age of 8 (two of them are under a year old).
