I was watching the ten late night news and they literally went overboard.
they described all the swine flu symptoms (with flashy guy standing in front of powerpoint presentation and pointing to them,one by one) which guess what? THEY ARE EXACTLY THE SAME AS COMMON COLD/FLU SYMPTOMS. the hypocondriacs and paranoids went to nearest doctors then next day ZOMG 11 suspected cases of swine flu. i mean no doubting this is serious but people are far to easily panicked.
The price last week was around 2$ a pound, now its less than 1$. In the same time period the price of fish has doubled so I guess thats what people here are switching to.
forget aboot all the other stuff, think of all the poor bacteria that will suffer from swine flu!
you might get sneezy and coughy, but swine flu will make bacteria explode.
sweaty bacon bra ugggh.
anyway I have been feeling a bit off this week and since I am going on holiday tomorrow I have been taking nurofen and beechams powders all week to avoid getting any kind of flu symptoms, but its prolly a waste of time.
I think the last great flu epedemic was around the time of the first world war and it killed milions.
Bit worrying really. hopefully it will only kill the evil people in the world
Konstruct... what the fuck... lol.... thats just wrong..
But on a serious note... everyone needs to calm the fuck down already... the media of course blows stuff out of proportion all the time. It was the west nile, and bird flu and now this shit. I know the flu can be serious, but still...
Just eat healthy, exercise and get plenty of sleep...
Colmerson - the difference is that with car accidents and shootings, they're technically things that in OUR control. We can stop those deaths. When there's something dangerous like a virus, that we can't stop or control, we feel helpless. Helplessness turns into hopelessness and then fear-mongering. Then the news humps a segment on it every 5 minutes and the public goes nuts.
This virus isn't any worse than the normal flu, it's just that it's killing people outside of the normal demographic, healthy young adults.
"They are hungry now, they howl as the darkness entrenches the land, and they must feed. The last of us, perhaps one of the last few pockets of humanity left on this godforsaken, rock, huddle together. Four of us now, the swine-men got Charlie, I almost regret using hm as a distraction as I watch the Swino-morphs devour his entrails, his juices spilling out of there gullets, mustn't let it get to me, morality is only a means to ones grave now. Need ammo, need sleep, need food. Little ammo, not safe, so hungry. I don't thank any god that might be out there, because they've gone away along time ago. I only thank the newscasters, If not for them, well, we'd never seen it coming. "
I went to the store expecting cheap ass pork so I could get some ribs or pork chops and make something delicious, but it was all full price and I dont have a lot of money, SO SCREW YOU ALL FOR GETTING MY HOPES UP()W$U*(*E%P$*&U(PR*
Looks like Mexico, Texas and New York are the worst case areas. Mexico has several hundred deaths from the bacon flu, with well over 1000 cases confirmed. New York has over 100 cases and Texas has 1 associated death.
We Washingtonians have a bakers dozen suspected (unconfirmed) cases. From what it seems, this flu isn't airborne. So long as people don't go around licking elevator buttons and doorknobs, I don't see what the fuss is about. Use alcohol-based hand sanitizers, wash your hands more often and avoid sick people! This is no different than any other flu outbreak, jackasses! Use common sense! If your ass is sick, STAY HOME. Don't spread that shit.
I sure hope swine flu doesn't mutate with the credit crunch and form swunch, which will take your jobs and rape your sister whilst giving you cancer
at least it has bumped the bloody credit crunch out of the papers for a bit, got fed up of hearing of that
And swine flu is nothing, SARs was a piece of piss when my boy chris redfield defeated it, and heart attacks are easy.
Your friendly neighborhood Vegan has some info....
Residents [of Perote] believed the outbreak had been caused by contamination from pig breeding farms located in the area. They believed that the farms, operated by Granjas Carroll, polluted the atmosphere and local water bodies, which in turn led to the disease outbreak. According to residents, the company denied responsibility for the outbreak and attributed the cases to flu. However, a municipal health official stated that preliminary investigations indicated that the disease vector was a type of fly that reproduces in pig waste and that the outbreak was linked to the pig farms. It was unclear whether health officials had identified a suspected pathogen responsible for this outbreak.
From what I can tell, the possible link to Smithfield has not been reported in the U.S. press. Searches of Google News and the websites of the New York Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal all came up empty
America's top pork producer churns out a sea of waste that has destroyed rivers, killed millions of fish and generated one of the largest fines in EPA history. Welcome to the dark side of the other white meat.
