TheoHuxtable.. Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 It has killed over 60 people in Mexico, and infected many more. In the US at first 8 have been infected so far, all in Southern California & Texas. But now there's fears that it has spread to Queens, NY after a few students visited Mexico and now around 25 people are said to be infected there. It's a more stronger version of the human flu, but contains a combination of swine, bird, and human flu that can be spread among humans. Remember the "bird flu" fears a couple years ago that started in Asia, and how it could become a pandemic. They're saying this could become a worldwide pandemic -- except this time it's started in our own backyard. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124061694466055035.html http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/25/nyregion/25sick.html?hp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoHuxtable.. Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 Oh yeah, and another difference between this flu and the bird flu, is that the bird flu was only transferrable from bird to human, but not from human to human. This one is transferrable from human to human. You mad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaolinmasta Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Russel Crowe tries to be Australian he isn't. He does own the Rabbitohs though and seems to be a tough prick, he's from New Zealand... The shittier version of Australia, I don't condone Hugh Jackman and his faggy dancing ways. I thought I had something else to write but i forgot it alas I am drunk and waiting to get a lift from a friend so I can pick up some women and get drunker.

GnomeToys Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I guess we haven't had a media-hyped flu epidemic that ends up killing a few sickly 90 year olds and people in countries with poor health care in a while, so this is right on schedule.

OLD_STYLE Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 “This strain of swine influenza that’s been cultured in a laboratory is something that’s not been seen anywhere actually in the United States and the world, so this is actually a new strain of influenza that’s been identified,” said Dr. John Carlo, Dallas Co. Medical Director “CDC officials detected a virus with a unique combination of gene segments that have not been seen in people or pigs before,” according to an Associated Press report. Alarming reports are now filtering in about people catching the illness who have had no contact with pigs whatsoever. These include a man and his daughter in San Diego County, a 41-year-old woman in Imperial County and two teenagers in San Antonio, Texas. In fact, in all U.S. cases, the victims had no contact with any pigs. “Dr. Wooten says it’s unclear how people were exposed to swine flu. She says none of the patients have had any contact with pigs,” according to the report. The WHO insists that the outbreak has “pandemic potential” and has been stockpiling supplies of Tamiflu, known generically as oseltamivir, a pill that can both treat flu and prevent infection, according to officials.... ORLY? It is unclear as to why, if the virus is a brand new strain, that public health officials are so confident programs of mass vaccination, which are already being prepared, would necessarily be effective. It certainly wouldn’t be the first time that deadly flu viruses have been concocted in labs and then dispatched with the intention of creating a pandemic. When the story first broke last month, Czech newspapers questioned if the shocking discovery of vaccines contaminated with the deadly avian flu virus which were distributed to 18 countries by the American company Baxter were part of a conspiracy to provoke a pandemic. Since the probability of mixing a live virus biological weapon with vaccine material by accident is virtually impossible, this leaves no other explanation than that the contamination was a deliberate attempt to weaponize the H5N1 virus to its most potent extreme and distribute it via conventional flu vaccines to the population who would then infect others to a devastating degree as the disease went airborne. However, this is not the first time that vaccine companies have been caught distributing vaccines contaminated with deadly viruses. In 2006 it was revealed that Bayer Corporation had discovered that their injection drug, which was used by hemophiliacs, was contaminated with the HIV virus. Internal documents prove that after they positively knew that the drug was contaminated, they took it off the U.S. market only to dump it on the European, Asian and Latin American markets, knowingly exposing thousands, most of them children, to the live HIV virus. Government officials in France went to prison for allowing the drug to be distributed. The documents show that the FDA colluded with Bayer to cover-up the scandal and allowed the deadly drug to be distributed globally. No Bayer executives ever faced arrest or prosecution in the United States. In the UK, a 2007 outbreak of foot and mouth disease that put Britain on high alert has been originated from a government laboratory which is shared with an American pharmaceutical company, mirroring the deadly outbreak of 2001, which was also deliberately released. As we reported yesterday, last time there was a significant outbreak of a new form of swine flu in the U.S. it originated at the army base at Fort Dix, New Jersey.
