Everything we have in the world was created by thought. All our cars and buildings and planes etc. The Bible says that "as a man thinks, so is he..." If you don't want to get a virus, "think", that is take precautions such as not inhaling when someone coughs at you or sticking your finger in your nose after you shake someone's hand. It is said that we change the universe by merely looking at it. Anyone who knows the double blind test on electrons understands this. When viewed it changes.

When you see the hurricane coming, leave town. They are calling this flu a hurricane so we need to take thought and do precautions. A lot of people don't know that a virus is weak outside the body. Let's keep it that way. To coin a phrase, "don't inhale", and don't pick your nose, and don't touch your eyes with your fingers. keep the virus outside. I also heard that zinc tablets give viruses a hard time getting in because it's molecules bond with the ones the virus needs to use to attach to to get inside.

So yes.. the OP is correct, we need to think rightly.

agree with the "energy flows where attention goes" energy is attracted to the same energy so if everyone has Terrorism flooded in their minds then that's exactly what's going to happen.

Yes people, words cause things to happen out of mid-air! Wooosh, terrorism! I just caused a bombing in Iraq! Oh god no!!!!!!!

Oh wow, so simply ignoring a potential Pandemic will simply make certain that it never occurs? This is quite the logic I must say, as time and time again, simply ignoring issues has proven to be so successful (Note Extreme Sarcasm). History has proven your Hypothesis wrong, I am sad to say.

The logic of the "the energy flows where the attention goes" sounds nice, but it basically means we should all pretend that terrorism never happens, and somehow it will go away. That doesn't work.

The main reason why terrorism increased after 9/11, in my opinion, is because we attacked an innocent country and started killing innocent people. We committed an unprovoked, unjustified attack against Iraq. That is justification for jihad.

The US was attacked by 19 Saudi terrorists. What do we do? We bomb Afghanistan and Iraq. We never touched Saudi Arabia. Why is that, I wonder? My guess is that we need the Saudis, but not the other countries. Afghanistan was harboring bin Laden. It was also an easy country to attack, since they have almost no organized defense.

Iraq was also supposed to be easy. We had our "Shock and Awe", which to me sounds very much like "Blitzkrieg". Unfortunately, we didn't learn anything from our defeat in Vietnam. We went in with guns blazing, killing everyone in sight. All we did was unify the country against us. Now we have so-called "insurgents" that gladly die just to take a few US soldiers with them. These "insurgents" are freedom fighters, fighting against an invading enemy.

But the terrorism didn't start because we gave it our attention. After all, no one was focusing on an attack on 9/11, were they? The terrorism started because we declared war on terrorism. We did all the things necessary to guarantee we'd be attacked by terrorists.

The OP is right.

I can see it already with some family members in a panic. Governments have been doing this for years because fear works. Fear allows governments to get away with murder and take away rights.

Hitler said something years ago, he said:

"It's a fortunate thing for government that the people don't think"

He also said:

"People are generally stupid, if you repeat the same slogans again and again they will eventually believe it"

Governments of the world use this same playbook.

Look at the economic crisis, it was planned and you can tell by the way it was introduced.

The Congress met with Paulson and the news reports started the domino effect. They reported how the Congress members looked terrified coming out of the meeting and it became a self fulfilling prophecy.

Obama was hope, hope, hope until he got into office and then he became Dr. Doom in order to get trillions of dollars.

They know survival instincts and fear cloud reason.

They want the Swine Flu to get worse.

They are saying things like "it will spread" and "a dangerous strain will hit the U.S."

This is what they want and the American people and people around the world will give it to them because their not thinking when these government crooks appeal to their fear.

As far as I'm concerned, this recent attention by the Mainstream Media on the Swine Flu is simply to rally the support for "our need for a national health care system".

The Obama Administration is once again trying to set itself up to "be the hero" and at the same time cramming their agenda down our throats.

I hope it backfires on their asses and there is a push to start controlling our southern borders!
