Seven People in U.S. hit by Strange New Swine Flu

Worse thought. The ones that get the flu now will be the only survivors later.
When a new strain combines, and those that have the flu know have partial immunity and everyone else is toast. The ones who have it now left to rebuild.

I know, I have an active imagination,lol

Let me just take a minute to throw this in. I don't know what the rest of the US is being told, but here in Chicago we are now being told that if we start displaying the symptoms of the flu that we should NOT go to the hospital We should stay in our house and seek out our own doctor.

Doesn't make sense to me it's so dangerous, risk of pandemic, but just stay home and help yourself, kind of contradictory if you ask me especially since the acting head of the CDC stated that he fully expects to see deaths here from this flu.

Yes there seems to be so much conflicting advice by the agencies,
I do not trust any of it. I also will not take any vaccination!

Good information, and posts!

Ok now this flu is supposed to be a new strain, deadly mixture of human, avian, and three swine strains right.

Remember my previous post i asked you to remember that the little boy that died in Texas died because his lungs were filled with fluid, well that's what the victims in Mexico are dying from, severe pnuemonia believed to be caused by swine flu.

They say the other odd thing about this flu is that it effects young healthy people, the human flu usually kills infants and the elderly with weak immune systems.

Now read about the 1918 pandemic commonly referred to as the "Spanish Flu"

en.wikipedia.org...

"Most of its victims were healthy young adults, in contrast to most influenza outbreaks which predominantly affect juvenile, elderly, or otherwise weakened patients. The pandemic lasted from March 1918 to June 1920"

"The majority of deaths were from bacterial pneumonia, a secondary infection caused by influenza, but the virus also killed people directly, causing massive hemorrhages and edema in the lung."


"In others, the flu caused frequent loss of bowel control and the victim would die from losing critical intestinal lining and blood loss,"

There was referrence made to the victims in Mexico having extreme vomiting and diarhea.



"Among the conclusions of this research is that the virus kills via a cytokine storm (overreaction of the body's immune system) which explains its unusually severe nature and the concentrated age profile of its victims. The strong immune systems of young adults ravaged the body, whereas the weaker immune systems of children and middle-aged adults caused fewer deaths."


It uses your own immune system against you ?!


The pandemic of 1918 was caused by Influenza type A strain, subtype H1N1.

The similarities are just a little too much for me. Are we really being hit with a new super flu with many different strains combined in it, or is this just the same "Spanish Flu" from 1918 ?


"Scientists have used tissue samples from frozen victims to reproduce the virus for study. Given the strain's extreme virulence there has been controversy regarding the wisdom of such research."

Frozen victims

They've been reproducing the virus Why

Yep! Scary...I read that also! I am concerned that what they have coming down the pike for us is bad. Even if they were trustworthy...and we know they aren't!

In my very humble opinion. This is not a "new" strain. And I believe it has been introduced into our bodies as a low grade virus before now.
