A little history lesson to make people aware that this, even if it dies out in the next month, CAN still come back & be stronger whenit does.

The Spanish Flu (1918 Influenza) first appeared in the US in early march 1918, while a few people became sick, it was close enough to summer that the flu virus went "dormant" as it tends to do during the hot months.

But in August of 1918, it came back stronger than it was in March.

Between August 1918 through 1920, the virus spread all over the world, literally, even into the arctic regions.

Of those infected, between 2 & 20% died.

If the numbers coming out of Mexico are correct, we are already looking at a 6-7% mortality rate there. And, just like the 1918 strain this one attacks relatively young, healthy adults, as opposed to regular flu strains which attack the very young and very old.

This strain is confirmed to be a H1N1 type strain, just like the 1918 virus, which also means that besides just getting sick there is a potential threat of a cytokine storm, which is the mortal blow.

A cytokine storm is when the body's immune system goes into a positive feedback loop with elevated cytokine levels triggering immune cells (T-Cells and macrophages) to travel to the infected tissue, then triggering more cytokines in the blood stream, then triggering more immune cells.

As a probable airborne infection, this positive feedback loop would occur in the lung tissue, causing the lungs to become inflamed and filled with fluid at the same time.

Basically, you own immune system causes you to drown in your own body fluids.

Now, NONE of this may happen, this strain may fade out and not come back, but, it might spread, it might go dormant over the summer & then come back with a vengeance.

Your best bet is to be aware and be prepared. Stay healthy, stay clean, and WASH YOUR HANDS often!

You're absolutely right, it might be completely natural - probably is.

But funny, it's coming from the closest and most ill-managed country in our region, one which is on the verge of anarchy and which, despite out-right demands by much of our citizenry, has a border that is utterly out of control.

...And let's not forget just six weeks ago ATS was in an uproar about how Baxter mixed samples of the most deadly strain of flu in their vaccine samples.

...And how Ft. Detrick is currently inventorying their biological specimen samples after it was found that samples of Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis turned up missing. Did I mention that 21 horses (just so happens they're from Venezuela) keeled over in a mysterious episode last week?

But you're right, probably just us crazy tin-hattys worrying too much.

Edit: Or what Hx3 said....





This is an uptdate from Bloomberg...so strange!
“All they did was panic us by canceling school,” Rodriguez, whose 2-year-old daughter Itzel was allowed to stay at a government-run nursery today because she had been vaccinated. “Cancelling a day of school isn’t going to slow this down. We should all be getting vaccinations.”

No Vaccine

There is no vaccine against the new strain of swine flu, health authorities said.

I am much more concerned with the potential of political action,emergency declarations and such,than becoming infected.

The media coverage is pretty massive,I heard of this from others ,and do not watch TV myself.

People are getting spooked,and they were/have been primed in the past few years.

I fear their response if they are actually convinced that they are in any real danger.

Nobody lives forever except in america.

Nobody dies here,..except celebs of course...do they?.

Anyway.

That's exactly what I was thinking about. Yes he was here and then the pandemic hit. Right in Mexico city where he was. Sounds kinda fishy, and no there's no news on the flu being here before he was here. I can't find anything in www.elnorte.com...

The NWO is the Old World Order,just study how it was when Kings and Queens ruled their surfs and subjects.....

Without the resources,researching Chemtrails would do nothing other than to make yourself look like a tinhatter,which many do.

If you want to find the truth,you would probably find that you have much more available resources on hand than you think you do.

Life is one giant learning experience,do your research carefully,and make sure your results are repeatable.

You may just want to keep what you discover to yourself.

Just my 00.02

Or not,your call....

I have all the respect in the world for those who would seek the truth for selfless purposes.

The most difficult part of seeking truth is to remain selfless.

To find the truth without gaining anything but that knowledge.

Nevermind,I'm drunk..........

I think Lowes knew people were going to be doing this. I used all of my N95 masks doing various Dremel projects and went to pick up some more Thursday night (the original few threads here about this reminded me I was out).

I usually spend at least an hour looking for what I need at Lowes as I hate asking the employees because they always want to talk to you for an hour about what you're there for.

Anyway, I went in figuring I'd be there 40+ minutes just for the looking portion of the trip. Right across from the front door was a HUGE display with every kind of N95 mask they carry.

So I bought a few boxes. And some ear plugs and a small baggie of cabinet hinges. I didn't want them to think I was a crazy doomsdayer.
