Amethyst Phoenix Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 ok wow this is being blown WAY out of preportions.This disease is NOT new' date=' my parents remember cases when they were little.There are ways to treat it.You are more likely to die in a car crash.[/quote'] Exactly! Marluxia nailed it. Everyone needs to calm down and stop freaking out about how it's supposedly the end of the world. It's not >_> I bet half of you think it's some virus that rapidly infects an entire city in 5 minutes and kills everyone it infects a day later. I bet most of you think you can get it from eating pork, when there is no confirmation (since the media "confirming" something appears to be all the proof you need) that eating pork can infect you. In a worst case scenario it will kill a mere 2% of the infected. That is 2 million people, but that is what would happen on the impossible chance it actually reaches this terrifying level people seem to think it is going to reach. Which it won't, of course. You realize 2 of the 4 drugs that work on normal swine flu work on this strain? The "Majority of the world's human population are complete irrational idiots when faced with a mild problem" theory prevails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fen. Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Like Marluxia said, they are crying over spilt milk about this.If you go to youtube, they are practicly signing off the end of the world on Swine Flu. Good god, it's not deadly, it's highly treatable. Yes I know I misspelt half of the words in this post, but oh freaking well. It's just the flu...just get a swine flu shot.

It is like spreading from Mexico all the way to Europe and Asia in less than a week. This is a lot more serious here than SARS or bird flu that plagued our Asia!

Aniway' date=' i can eat more pig now!, the prices are lowering fast![/quote'] your case is just like mine :) I've been sick and don't think its related. It is somewhat good that people exagerate this stuff (at least for me).

Tefached Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 swine flu is just a bunch of crap. yea its a real flu and all that but the symptoms are the exact same as the normal flu or any other kind...which means that people are going to freak out every time they sneeze.... people are just paranoid like that. it'll go away eventually, even the kid that first got it in Mexico is all right now.

Is easy to lose control of the location of pigs.That doesn't matter, the virus is practically air-borne. Just look at the spreading rate. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8021547.stm From Mexico, it can spread all the way to Hong Kong in Asia, New Zealand in Oceania, Israel in the Mid East, and Western Europe...more to come by mid-May perhaps...
