Swine Flu, possible Pandemic?

[Matthew_Cipricla]

Yes but this anti viral medicines seem to be kind of new. But I am very thankful that we have it. Viruses are alot harder to destroy with medicines then bacteria. A time like this makes me want to move out to a little farm (WITHOUT PIGS) and live there until this passed.

This isn't a pandemic, 150 out of 300,000,000?  There's more people in my school.  Nuff about that though, this does look dangerous.

[Matthew_Cipricla]

Are you saying there is 3 million people in your school? Really we shouldnt panic about this just yet. But innocent lives are at stake.

No, Im saying there is 1,500 in my school and 300 million average in the country of US.  I used the numeral forms of the numbers as I wanted to show the range of the numbers.  Please read correctly next time.

Ermm alright then... I didnt understand what you meant by that. 

I think this is a good website concerining those masks. Although you should still wash your hands reguarly and not touch your face. http://www.kirotv.com/health/19303928/detail.html

Here is also a good website about cases of swine flu.

My state has no cases yet, but people are saying its bound to happen.

Also, you can NOT get the swine flu from eating pork; at the slaughterhouses they check ever stock for any problems, and even if one got through, you heat it up to 100degrees celcious+, so any viruses/bacteria are destroyed.

ROFL!
After it got punishment from school personal??

Ontopic: Around 11 people in France, Norway were probably infected, i heard.

as I said before, it seems the forms of the desease are less bad in europe then Mexico, people survive it in EU,... so far

Altair you are an egoist man, you know that?

''lets hope it doesn't comes to estonia?'' and what about other countries and people?

There are already medicins who stop the virus, not stop but slow it down...

Yaeh, cewl, but have you read the 3 first words in my sentance at your quote?

Gosh, i pray for it not to go anywhere else,

So think before you post. You know why i'm too hopefull not to come in Estonia? Because our so-called Government won't give a shit about getting a cure for it, knowing our government.

By the way, after some thoughts i think it's not THAT bad... We survived bird fluu, which was pandemic as this situation, so lets hope we will survive this one. But this is still to scary.

:ps: Are there any reported cases of death without Mexico? I mean, not in Mexico, but death reports from Swine fluu in other regions/countries.

[Pandalink]

The name is strange, since you can't actually catch it from eating Pork, and pigs don't "catch it".

[Jordan]

There is a cure.. Anti-Viral drugs or w/e they call it.  UK had a shitload of it so i think we'r alright.

It has already been said by World Health organisation (WHO) that we are the most prepared country for this sort of outbreak, and we also have a stock of 32 million Anti-viral drugs which is currently being brought up to 50million and face masks are being prepared for UK residents for the future of this issue.

All I have to say about this so-called "pandemic": meh.

[Troy]

People died in Mexico because it's not a 'well' healthy in the first place compared with other country's..

[JayL]

True, the investment on health care services is very relevant regarding the Swine Flu prevention.

[Altair_Carter]

There is a theory that somekind of a medical drug called on "T"(darn, forgot the name) can cure this disease. Scientists are working on advanced version of this medical drug.

By the way, i heard a 2-year girl in New York died from Swine Fluu....RiP.
