Swine Flu - New Pandemic???

[pianomistro]

So I was wondering... what if this "Swine Flu" becomes the next pandemic, or, God help us, a global Epidemic. And what if the virus morphs to be resistant against our medicine? What if it become the next "Dawn of the Dead" scenario? Who will be prepared for this scenario? And what would each of you use as a weapon to ward off the sick "zombies"? I know that this is a long stretch, but... nowadays, you have to be ready for anything...

rest your mind at ease this swine flu is just another flu. if someone did the research they will find that people die in the thousands each year from the flu or complications that began with the flu. the BHO administration is making it out to be this huge pandemic simply because it will divert our attention to something else while they slip some bill under the radar. I just wonder if a month if when the BHO administration warned our colledge student not to travel south of the border because they coud be kidnapped that the real reason they warned not to travel south is because they knew it was there. it seems odd to me that it just came out that one of BHO security personel contracted it when he met with the mexican president and came back and has given it to his family, i bet given the time fram they are all better now but its breaking news today.

Terminology lesson:

Epidemic - a sustained outbreak of a serious disease in a single area.
Pandemic - a sustained outbreak of a serious disease in at least two distinct regions.

As for "Swine Flu," we've seen it before, we'll see it again, just like the 1918 Spanish Flue. It's not the end of the world. Thousands die every year in the US from "every day" flu. Why are we so concerned about a new strain that's going to die-off in a month?

100 points to prive005 for the "Sean of the Dead" reference. And let's not forget a collection of old record albums to throw at 'em! :sarcastic:

The " Zombies" are already here and not afraid to bust in your door in broad daylight to get what they need to keep high. This is the classic Zombie movie only the Zombies are real and starting to get in real numbers.
SCARY.

I would definitely also have my Mossy 500 loaded, as well as the AR-15 topped off.

Don't let a Good Crissis Go to Waste

The (Simple Truth) it's not complicated

Politics created The Urban Renewal Act which forced banks to loan money
to
those that couldn't afford to pay it back.

Politics created Fanny and Freddie than they lied about their
stability.

Politics now blame the banks and wall street.

Who's Politics are they?

Rahm Emanuel and Hillary Clinton said Never Let A Good Crisis Go To
Waste.

Now the Crisis enabled large stimulus bills and big budgets to get
passed to promote their
Socialist agenda.

The Swine Flu Crisis could help them push thru their Socialist Health
Care.

Who do you think is going to pay the bills?

The Government doesn't produce wealth they just waste it.

Take Care

Seriously, though, the whole situation with "Swine flu" or HN11N11n11n1 or whatever the "PC" term for it is - is just getting insane. My wife works as an admissions clerk in an E.R. here in Missouri, and they get 2 "stories" very commonly :

Story #1 "I haven't been feeling good for awhile, and I probably have the Flu. I think it might be the Swine Flu."

Story #2 " I called off sick from work today, and my boss won't let me come back to work until we know it isn't Swine Flu."
:yu:

If history is any teacher, go up and lip lock anybody you know who has "The Flu", go ahead and get it now so you have some anti-bodies for the strain in case it gets worse. Because it can.

1918 flu pandemic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The 1918 flu pandemic (commonly referred to by the misnomer Spanish flu) was an influenza pandemic that spread to nearly every part of the world. It was caused by an unusually virulent and deadly Influenza A virus strain of subtype H1N1. Historical and epidemiological data are inadequate to identify the geographic origin of the virus.[1] Most of its victims were healthy young adults, in contrast to most influenza outbreaks which predominantly affect juvenile, elderly, or otherwise weakened patients. The flu pandemic has also been implicated in the sudden outbreak of Encephalitis lethargica in the 1920s.[2]

The pandemic lasted from March 1918 to June 1920,[3] spreading even to the Arctic and remote Pacific islands. It is estimated that anywhere from 70 to 100 million people were killed worldwide,[4] or the approximate equivalent of one third of the population of Europe,[5][6][7] more than double the number killed in World War I.[8] This extraordinary toll resulted from the extremely high illness rate of up to 50% and the extreme severity of the symptoms, suspected to be caused by cytokine storms. The pandemic is estimated to have affected up to one billion people: more than half the world's population at the time.[9]"

And by the way, we are still fairly primitive in viral-fighting agents.

Debray sees the big picture here. The crooks in charge have an excuse to pass their tyrannical legislation now. Fear is the product they push, and this new virus is producing plenty of fear. They are going to make a lot of money from the new vaccine they are cooking up, as well. All the virologists are looking at this new strain, and seeing that it is completely different than the usual mutations of the flu. It is obvious that it is a manufactured virus. Now the question is: Who manufactured it? The criminals who stand to gain money and power from releasing it maybe?

Sorry friend, but Mother Nature can cook up her own nasty bag of tricks, and has always done so. Sure I distrust Big Government, but blaming a possible Pandemic on them is a bit of a stretch.

While I agree with Rick O'Shay on this one, there is compelling evidence in that:

The number one shareholder in the company that makes and distributes "TAMIFLU" is none other than....

DONALD RUMSFELD.
:hang3:
It's true.

Look it up.
