Alot in this article is what we have all been saying for days. Some examples:

As the world faces a potential pandemic, swamped labs are not testing all possible cases.

Until now, many busy labs have been so overrun that they could do preliminary tests only on samples that meet a strict case definition or that involve people who traveled to Mexico.

The public may be surprised to know it's not so important to have an exact tally, or to tell a person whether he or she has the germ, said Sharon Shea.

I wonder what else we have speculated about that will come out in MSM soon.

I am back from my Grandpa at the hospital...

After I arrived, within a few minutes he was admitted to ICU.

As I walked down the corridor towards the ICU, one nurse and a representative clip board in hand were talking and I over heard this :

"Oh no, all of our cases are mild as you have seen, nothing more."

Can someone tell me the latest stats for missouri? I KNOW of at least one case, and am suspicious of this being raised to a level 6 even though the symptoms at this point are minimum and the severity mild.

My Grandpa is sepsis as of this afternoon and was FINE when he enetered the hospital yesterday for a minor procedure.

PLEASE reply as I have been offline all day and need to know if missouri has been added yet or not.

Nice...

Swine flu: We started crying and holding our noses!

There was fear and panic at a school yesterday as it emerged a girl of 12 had been diagnosed with swine flu.

Pupils wept as they were told their classmate had the potentially fatal virus and angry parents claimed they had been kept in the dark about the danger.

For the past day or two, I have been having a creepy feeling around this flu. I wasn’t able to connect the dots in my own head, so I wasn’t sure what was bothering me so badly. I am still a little cloudy about the whole thing, but I have been able to put my finger closer to what is disturbing me. Bear with me for a minute and see if you can follow this train of thought.

There is an outbreak of a brand new strain of influenza that has already spread beyond the point of containment.

We suspect that the media is under reporting the numbers.

The media plays into our suspicions by increasing the numbers quickly. Pandemic alert raised to highest level ever.

Most of the reports concern children, adding to public fear.

Schools and communities lock down and regular citizens are becoming scared enough to empty shelves of masks and sanitizers.

A bill to grant the government power to isolate, search, and treat you, and, if you resist, imprison you, moves forward after collecting dust for years.

At least one “Doctor” confirms many fears that the situation is much more dire than being reported.

We are told that the only available medicine only works if caught within the first 48 hrs.

It is reported that labs will stop reporting actual infected numbers and concentrate on new hot spots.

Scientists dig into past pandemics and confirm that they all began with mild first waves and came back to kill millions.

Drug manufacturers should be able to create a vaccine for this strain right before the second wave hits us.


OK…. I know that the above was not in precise order and sounds rambling. To me, though, this all points to regular citizens being coerced or even forced into a vaccination. If anyone can help me get my head around this, maybe I could have a more focused point at which to be ticked off.

Ty, I saw at least that many at the local hospital, and you know me , just happened to be at the right place at the right time... head nurse stating that "All of our cases are mild as you have seen." The entire hospital filled with little old ladies in yellow face masks, to protect the workers...

I am VERY concerned that what is happening here is that ppl will be dying from the SECONDARY infections from this and therby not be reported as swinedeath.
