whoa comparing the flu with the flu whoops. more people are already infected with the common flu and more people are dying and will die from it.

to focus on this is to ignore that we already have something much much worse.

millions of people are dying in africa so who cares about some FLU??? its not killing more people than starvation at the present moment, so its def. not important. lets ignore it. no need to monitor it carefully or anything. if we focus all of our resources on african babies, the evolving flu outbreak will go away by itself

it's the flu! as far as i can tell it's a less dangerous strain than the common flu and it spreads at a slightly slower pace?

Hopefully this swine flu stuff will shut people about the stupid bird flu. The media blows everything so out of proportion.

I'm going to be working full-time at my Pharmacy so I'll let you guys know if I hear of any cases.. hopefully not.. but the current graduating class from my college is currently at Mexico... what bad timing! I am at a greater risk of being infected since I see sick people all the time, which sucks. I'm going to need to disinfect my hands after every patient encounter from now on!

yeah when in less than a week, 150 people die and a bunch more are in the hospital writing shit off as HEH PANIC MEDIA entirely is more gauche than appropriate.

no one is actually bunkering down, but saying people should maybe avoid interaction with someone exhibiting flu like symptoms, especially with so many gw members in Mexico, is not dumb. saying SARS WASN'T THAT BAD ignores the fact that we reacted to SARS fast and reacting to this is just as important.

That death toll, according to the Mexican government, is since March, not the past week. e: Or not.

Didn't it break out in Mexico City? There's like... 8 million people living there, and not even 2000 cases.

for what it's worth i dont disagree that this is blown way out of proportion and just wash your hands etc and hope mexico is okay but i just can't get down with also saying HEH ITS NOTHING when folks are dying.

climbtrees puns were the best posts

IDK people die from a lot of shit all over the world, I don't think that this is extremely important. :welp: If you're around some people with the flu be sure to keep your distance and wash your hands and I hope you don't get sick. Also, look both ways before crossing the street and obey traffic laws.

There's gotta be more than 2000 cases if 150 people have died from it, think about all the folks like me who generally stay at home and sleep off a flu instead of going to the doc or hospital(unless it gets really bad).

The virus may have infected more then what it appears. The virus might just be "hidding" (I can't think of the medical term) and waiting for whatever reason to pop out and kill those infected. and then spread like wild fire... or is that not at all how it works?
