Swine flu map

[fitzy]

I'm sick with the flu actually...

 

[Kyle]

Only 2 reported in my state and not even in the same county... weeeeelllll, that is just the reported cenus, right? I doubt that it is truly only 2...
Mainly popular cities, not to my suprise.

 

[SamXX]

230 Suspected cases in England, only 8 confirmed.

Damn it.....The Swine flu is in Maryland I think..That's what everybody was saying.....Closer.....Closer......To VA.

To all of you making light of this -- you have no idea how serious this can get. Please consider reading up on the severity of past flu pandemics:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influenza_pandemic#Notable_influenza_pandemics

40 million people died from the Spanish flu.

@ the main post - The flu will undoubtedly hit every major country... just a matter of time.

Back then they did not have the technology or medical breakthroughs we have today either.
So yes, I am making light of this.

Yeah, but guess what... viruses and diseases are not stagnant. They evolve as well, actually at a faster rate than we improve on medicinal technology. Same concept with computer hackers -- they always seem to be one step ahead of those trying to thwart them.

I agree with Bulerias.

But even though you might be putting on a brave face, it's probably just to hide that you're actually worried.
So don't pretend because, let's face it... We all are.

Yeah dawg, I could probably get it today.
My history teacher shares the same view as I do on the swine flu and just take regular precautions like you do every year with the flu; wash your hands and sneeze into a tissue or something...

@ Bul: Computer viruses can be avoided easily if you take the right measures and use common sense. Same with flus.

 

[SamXX]

Yeah but their's always that one that sneaks through.

 

[Bulerias]

Kolvo, I'm not disagreeing. I don't think we need to take any super-cautious measures like live in isolation for the next few months. However, most people in the world do not take ANY precautions against the flu/contagious diseases. Which is why the WHO is working hard for more people to become aware that precautions ARE necessary. Handwashing, avoiding public places/gatherings, etc... common sense isn't so common anymore, you know?

The newest case of it is in Tennessee, where I live.

 

[Kyle]

Well between you and me, I'm not worried. There are billions of people on Earth and I'm not worried I'll be one of them. Yes, they say that about STDs too, but they can be avoided too with precautions.

 

[SamXX]

I see what you're saying and why you're not worried but when it's in the town next to you it's hard not to be.

I agree, we should just do the same routine around this time of the year, because it is normally flu season and just do as you said. But since you never go to public school like I do, it's kind of hard to avoid public gatherings since public school is just one daily gathering.

 

[Placktor]

[QNT3N]

*censored.2.6*.

Everyone reacts differently to vaccines.

 

[alexrattata]

[SamXX]

This is going to sound so stupid but... This won't be like a permanant thing will it?
There will be a vaccine won't there?

Your ignorance must be punished.

 

[ohdangitsgabby]
