[tiderman]

It's good that UK won't get it. Apparently, it's the least likely to for some reason... Probably because of the rain.

lol,

Every one is panicing already???

Australia

    * 1789 – 1790: smallpox – Aborigines of NSW[36]
    * 1828: smallpox – Aborigines of New South Wales[37]
    * 1829: smallpox – South Australia[38]
    * 1857: smallpox – Victoria[39]
    * 1867: measles – Sydney

because Swine flu is so new... the worlds leaders will have around 50000 People working on it already to find a cure

Yes but it takes time to find a cure, and all the bird flues, is not so big here in europe, since before the time it have been reached Europe, its already a vaccine.. But now there aint, and its gonna spread fast, since swine is a common animal in whole europe including other countries.. So its a fast spreading virus here. So its not so wierd people are panicing

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) are concerned that this outbreak may become a pandemic, for the following reasons.

New strain
    The virus is a new strain of influenza, from which human populations have not been vaccinated or naturally immunized.

Human transmission
    The virus appeared to infect by human-to-human transmission. Investigations of infected patients indicated no direct contact with swine, such as at a farm or agricultural fair. The strain was later confirmed to have been transmitted between humans. However, at least one other strain of swine flu has previously been transmitted between humans without wider community infection. In contrast, for example, disease transmission in the last severe human outbreak of influenza, the bird flu that peaked in 2006, was determined to be almost entirely from direct contact between humans and birds.

Virulence
    The virus has produced severe disease in Mexico, and some deaths. Furthermore, in Mexico (but not in the United States) the illness has primarily struck young, healthy adults, much like the deadly Spanish Flu of 1918, possibly because of the phenomenon known as cytokine storm.[80] Most other influenza strains produce the worst symptoms in young children, elderly adults, and others with weaker immune systems.

Geography
    The virus has been detected in multiple areas, indicating that containment is unlikely. This is exacerbated by the incubation and infectious periods of influenza.

Lack of data
    That other factors are still somewhat unknown, such as transmission rates and patterns and effectiveness of current influenza treatments, combined with the unpredictability of influenza strains, means that reliable forecasts cannot be made.


The previously recommended influenza vaccines for the southern and northern hemispheres, including that for the 2009/2010 flu season, are ineffective against the new strain. Current development, large-scale manufacturing, distribution and delivery of a new vaccine takes several months.

I live in the US, and all the cases that have been reported near New York are all mild. But damn this could get worse. But the best advice is to wash your hands I heard. Hopefully a vaccination can be made qucikly.

Whenever all these diseases come out, foot and mouth, bird flu, and now this, I am always scared that I am going to die D:

No cases? Really? there are 2 cases just 30 miles from my home town. Even closer to my Dad's side of the family in Lanarkshire.

Try doing that in an economic crisis. How can we fund the research if we're all skint.

im scared.

it's been upgraded to a pandemic...
