I have had requests for Joseph Tittel's website who seems to have predicted the Swine Flu (Dec. 2008) outbreak in Mexico. He also has updated his prediction in April to state that he saw mass burials and that the outbreak would be the worst in Mexico and India.
How was his prediction right? Have there been mass burials that I missed?

Clouds, here is what I find particularly disturbing about your post. While it's not all that unusual for an entity as inept as our Federal Gov't to act in contradictory ways, I am starting to wonder if the advice isn't really contradictory at all.
What if they have reversed their initial directives to close schools because they have discovered concrete evidence that once this virus is in an area nothing can be done to stop it?
What if they know that the infection rate after exposure is close to 100% and thus, once a person is infected he/she has passed it on to every other person with whom they have come in contact?
So, you might ask, if this is true why aren't there exponentially more cases? The only explanation for that may be found in one of your earlier posts (I think it was yours anyway) in which a source told you this outbreak is in phase?
Could it be that the CDC believes there is reason to suspect that this virus can be dormant on many of us who are symptom free, only to explode over the next few weeks or months?
Even I think this sounds crazy and may not even be medically possible but I've got this eerie feeling...

Swine influenzas, Cox would later explain, were particularly worrisome because peigs were highly permissive hosts, capable of harboring influenzas froma wide range of animals, birds, and humans.

Stated as certainties, rather than hypothetical conjectures, were the following points listed under the memo's heading "FACTS" : The virus found at Fort Dix is 'antigenically related to the influenza virus which has been implicated as the cause of the 1918-19 pandemic which killed 450,000 American people; every American undre the age of fifty 'is probably susceptible to this new strain"; severe flu epidemics occur at approximately ten year intervals." ....

confirmed by the CDC?
if that is true that is quite an increase, almost double today.
