Actually it DID spread stateside,

there are 60-80 people in the US that are infected, it's been going on in mexico for ages now (in comparison) and the only reason anyone gives a ♥♥♥♥ is cause its in the US now, because some catholic school kids took a trip to mexico. Where do you think the phrase "don't drink the water" came from.

I live in Canada, and I'm not saying anyone has the best health care, notice how I also included Scandinavia. And that was just me saying who was on these forums. My main point was that Mexico doesn't have the health care needed to deal with this. Yes, Mexico has flu shots, but remember that a lot of Mexico's large area also doesn't have any doctors in it. The people that are dying are most likely the people that can't get medical aid easily.

Those kids deserved that Flu, they just infected people in the US.

If they didn't get the flu, it wouldn't have spread state-side, and therefor they wouldn't deserve it.

PUKE PARADOX!

ITT, DRL medical initiates express their opinion on the severity of a flu variant vectored through pigs. It's no wonder I keep coming back.

EDIT: Before anyone says it, yes I'm one of those who joins in the fun every once in a while. Arguments are fun.

Blown out of proportion.

surprise surprise it's already worldwide



remember SARS? yeah this isn't just one country like that was

20 cases in the US.

In the US, it's blown way out of proportion. You're more likely to die of a shark attack on a plane.

OKAY. It is not about how ♥♥♥♥ likely you are to die of it you dumb twat. It's a goddamn disease, it spreads. It's not static in any way shape or form. 20 people have it each give it to 2 people 40 80 160 320 640 1280 2560 5120 10240 20480 40960.
41,000 people and we're only 11 recursions in. It's a serious ♥♥♥♥ issue.

Then lets hope you contract it and are the first US citizen to die from it, shall we

your right, IF they spread it, it will be serious. Right now, everyone who IS infected, is Staying at home, and is urged to stay home until they are no longer contagious, which means even if the number of infected TRIPLES it will likely be people in the same household.

I will be worried if 3 times as many cases are reported, in a wider area (not the same town, or household) in a day or two.

So we have 20 people in the US Infected, If by wednesday we have 60+ people infected, THEN I will get worried, Until then, in the US It is still totally blown out of proportion. Close the mexican/american border for about a week until we're no longer infected, and then just make the boarder one way, INTO mexico, for aid, NOT out of it. Put armed guards and the CDC along the boarder, and Only let people in if the CDC Clears them. and even then that's ONLY if it grows at that exponential rate.

Furthermore, Binary exponents are my job, don't steal my fun. mr double everything and add some zeros....






Holy crap is that where all the cases of swineflu are?!


I am now convinced that either A) someone is intentionally spreading it, or B) some global activist health group thought mexico needed help and gave up part way through. There is no logical way for ANY disease to spread that far, and yet that THIN. Each dot is a PERSON, not a town, not a houshold, but PERSON presumably colored by date, which ALSO suggests its people trying to intentionally spread it, which says to me that the austrailian CDC (or whatever they call it) is awesome, and that south america probably isn't counting.

And thats assuming you didn't just put a bunch of random points on google maps.
Link to source?

i convinced a kid that he will get it if he eats pork. i lawlz'd. he qq'd. i think the swine flu is legit. i live in new york and some places very close to where i live have had outbreaks recently. i am scared that illegal immigrants from mexico with the disease (knowing or not knowing they have it) will come in and spread it even more. i have a strange feeling that the swine flu is a version of chemical warfare released by the Taliban or Al-Qaeda or other terrorist groups.

I live in Texas, you know, the state closest to Mexico.

I'm not the least bit worried. I recently got over mono, and that thing is the shittiest possible thing you can get(in my opinion). I was absolutely miserable. My throat even started to bleed. My spleen was enlarged and if I had ruptured it, I would of died. I played through multiple hockey and lacrosse games(both of which were extremely physical). I see myself as having a better change dying from my spleen than from the swine flu.

And who gives a ♥♥♥♥ if people have it? It's a disease, people will get it, a very small percentage die, and a week later it is forgotten about.

EVERYONE ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET IS STUPID.
