Swine flu turns us to zombies and we are foced to evacuate earth >.>.

/maybe

I watched some show in the History channel and if we harness anti-matter (which involves bankrupting the USA just to make 1gram of it) because, if we combine matter and anti-matter we can generate enough energy to travel to other galaxies. or something likew that >.>.

oh ya takes only a few tablespoon of anti-matter to do that o.o.

Further information on the situation will be available on the WHO website on a regular basis. WHO advises no restriction of regular travel or closure of borders. It is considered prudent for people who are ill to delay international travel and for people developing symptoms following international travel to seek medical attention, in line with guidance from national authorities.

There is also no risk of infection from this virus from consumption of well-cooked pork and pork products. Individuals are advised to wash hands thoroughly with soap and water on a regular basis and should seek medical attention if they develop any symptoms of influenza-like illness.

it really isnt that bad. it only has killed one person so far in the US and that was because it was a toddler, i.e. crappy immune system. the media's making it seem worse than it is.

Well, it's better to be overprepared than not be at all. But you're only talking about the US. It's killed over 150 in Mexico, and that is cause for considerable alarm.

Swine flu is so bad because it has infected not only the old and very young but the healthy 15-30 demographic. Dunno what news you're watching.

Jikanu · 05-02-2009, 03:23 PM

Infected, but not killed. If you get the proper medical care, it shouldn't be a huge problem unless you're very young or very old, or else more fatalities would've occurred in the U.S.
