Swine Flu news and updates thread

reply to post by retroviralsounds


Again,I appreciate your taking the time to answer: I am very rural and although 'm in excellent health,I do have asthma and need to be on my toes perhaps more than many and honestly "depend" somewhat on virtual news to shape my decisions at times because the networks fail me so often.

I agree that the "naysayers" are fading and that the sensible will continue to assimilate and cull through the masses of info available and again,make a conscious and "non-reactive" choice if/when it becomes necessary.

ALWAYS better to act and not react!!!

Thanks so much.

I would like to do that, but the misses doesn't think it's of concern. I'm gonna go buy a 3M N95 or N100 today at home depot if they have any left. This is of concern to me. She laughs at me.

retroviralsounds, as always it is alarming to hear from you.

Judging by how fast the virus is propogating now, how long do you think until this becomes a full-blown, publicly undeniable pandemic; if ever?

the other scary thing is that it was in 5 or 7 countries this morning and is now up to 13 I believe. This sucker is moving fast. I think we might start seeing deaths outside of mexico around the weekend. this is just a guess and all.

I think it's very possible there are already deaths outside of Mexico. We're just not being told that. The level of alarm the governments are raising is not equal to the deaths IMHO.

How quickly have the people in mexico died after being exposed??

Have you noticed that in all of the images of people wearing masks in Mexico none of them appear to be N rated? They all seem to be regular cloth type surgical masks.

More good news....

Belgium: Public Health Institute states six suspected swine influenza cases test negative.

If i'm not mistaken they have been dying within 6 days after the incubation period which is 2 to 5. So that would make it 11 days all together.

From Hillsboro, Oregon:

Someone just passed by my cube and said "I'm heading home my kids got the swine flu." Nothing confirmed yet, have to wait to see if he shows up at work tomorrow.

Email came out at work today stating what the CDC/NWO stated already but the email also stated that if we or family are sick to stay home.

Agreed, I think they will hide it as long as they can. They will try to keep people from panicing until they cant hide it anymore

This person got it and did not go to Mexico. A family member went last week and he got it from them. This is not good!

Loving the good news.
There are clearly a lot of unwell people - that do not have THIS particular flu.

Sad thing is I can't say I blame them.

Yea, hopefully the generated panic won't get out of hand,
sheepeople can do crazy things when they get scared. I'm more worried about the reactions than the virus.

VeratectUS, Arkansas: Health Officials Believe Swine Influenza Already "Spread Across" State.

We could possibly now have wide blown spreading of the Swine Flu in the United States.

I have seen one post saying pets are at risk from this virus and one post that says they are not. Neither had a source attached. Does anybody have reliable information on this yet?

Oh CRUD, Not Arkansas! You know, getting laid off might turn out to be a good thing. I can duct tape my doors shut and draw unemployment all the way through this thing.
