So what happens when the WHO Declares a pandemic level 6?

reply to post by Melissa101


Hi Melissa! No you have every right to be concerned and you being the protecting parent have that right to keep your child safe and out of danger...Its well justified!!!

I have been reading up on all the Swine Flue Crisis and I have a hard time swallowing that this is just a pandemic!!! Bullcrap!!!!! Funny how all the news media made annoucements "Dont Travel To Mexico" because of the crime and such.....Now weeks later the Swine Flue Pops Up!!!!

I live in the Reno/Carson/Tahoe area and Reno just popped up with it's first case as of last night, which I am highly concerned!

Yes, its makes sense that to get infected now would be an early,

milder 'auto-innoculation' rather than wait till H5 mixes with H1...

BUT the best policy is to not get it at all, then get the proper non-rushed

vaccine next year...or something like that.

Yes my plan exactly....

Yes, i agree on the 1%. BUT, dont you wonder why all the numbers and all information is so very very poor? WHO going to level 5 moving to 6th on this? Would this 7 deaths be enough for WHO reacting this way?
I assume the WHO not only looks at deaths, but also at how the virus spreads, how it infects and so on. Still, information is very very poor from all corners of the world. Media is calling a simple suspision for a "case", and any death is being related to the virus even when there is no connection or suspision from the authority.

I wonder how we are going to manage a real pandemic, when the real avian flu pandemic hits us, mainstream media information will have no credibility at all. And if what we have is only ATS then we are in troble lol.

I agree, I am hearing conflicting reports about what is happening down in Mexico. I have no idea what is really happening, but "they" sure are acting as if it will be huge. My guess is that this was planned and is part of a much bigger agenda. If that is correct then there is no reason to "fake" or "hype" it when "they" could just release the real thing. Have they?

ok people calm the frick down, the media is all lying to you. there dozens of deaths in mexico were not from swine flu, its a lie, ive heard several people calling into radio stations from mexico saying the doctors thought all these regular cases of flu and other similar nature virus's were swine flu because they had to assume it was to begin with.

this whole thing is a lie to get you to get vaccinated. DO NOT GET VACCINE OR YOU DIE. LET ME SAY AGAIN

YOU TAKE THAT VACCINE YOU DIE OR KILL OTHERS becoming a carrier.

there will come a time when its jailtime and or huge fine if u dont get it.

DO NOT GET IT GO TO JAIL OR FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE


this issue will never completely go away but it will teeter off and become whatever after thought during summer, september it will start to become a huge problem, DO NOT GET VACCINE

see the bbc news front page, find the link to 'Doctors diary' from mexico.

updated daily. it is quite realistic. they are mildly panicked by the lack

of consistent info as well....

ok straight up # the flu, dont pay attention. stop watching tv. and those who say they never watch tv. gtfo the computer.

Yeah, I saw that earlier. It was interesting reading.

You know the economy shrunk by 6%. link

The NWO PTB have kicked off their plans full scale I do believe. When businesses shut down and no one goes out for fear of the flu what will happen to what is left of the economy?

whoa!

i don't think mandatory immunization will work, instead it will trigger

civil war, considering we have parents refuse MMR/ hep B/ flu

vaccines all the time! It will be quarantined zones before that.

We had our 1st case confirmed here in AZ last night, so now we're a red state too, YAY!

This is the biggest pile of BS i've seen in a long time. Poor brainless masses, lol. SO SO panicky, scared of their own world, and SO easily manipulated. How many times can the sky fall?

I love on CNN, every 10 minutes Anderson Cooper says they don't want to contribute to fear mongering, "just the facts", then the very next sentence brings on a panel expert to tell us we're all going to die.

The flu changes and is new every year. It is the nature of the influenza virus, the more this one passes from human to human, the less of a shock to the immune system it's gonna become. Actual medical professionals know this, but if you don't have some panic to bring to the table, the news wants no part of it, that would be boring.

So why we all sat around and waited for avian flu to become a issue H1N1 crept up and we find outselves at a Level 5 warning.

So what happens when we get to level 6?

Do we shut down? Suspend public gatherings? Hope that people simply segregate themselves away so the epidemic burns itself out? What?

I suspet things will shut down for for a while.

Neuroradiology, Burlington, MA

No cases yet here, except for nearby Lowell, MA.

All we are getting is the CDC alerts cut and paste into

group emails. 1/2 the crew laughing about this, saying its ridiculous

(like my wife the surgeon), and my other half knowing this isn't

child's play. This is basically it. Ground zero is the hospitals.

That's a pretty long title. Probably a rewarding job though, helping children.

Are you a paramedic, or do you ride on non-emergent BLS transports?

I have no clue what level 6 means for us... but I was sent home from my job last night because I have a cold and everyone is panicking over this. I've gone in before with a cold and never got sent home before last night. It's scary yes... but I think everyone is just panicking too much.

Each state has a pandemic plan to be put in motion at a WHO level 6 pandemic. You can check for your state here -

www.pandemicflu.gov...

I figure we'll go to a level 6 shortly. heck .. we are already there according to the characteristics set forth by WHO.

i personally would think its outlandish to close and create more panic for something that is obviously getting WAYYYY too much publicity. come on people, with all the threads and people talking about whats going on behind the scenes, seems like we should try to pour a little more into that. feeding the frenzy that is swine flu is getting quite ridiculous...

You're right, they should have shut everything down from thursday until sunday.

In my personal opinion the best thing to do right now is shut everything down for 7 to 14 days. People should stay home, schools should close and only people with dire emergencies should be out. I am scared noe because the flu has now hit my state. It was just on the 10:00pm news that a confirmed case has been found in Tennessee and Alabama. This thing is spreading like fire and the CDC says they expect deaths. At what point does the government say enough is enough. How many people have to become sick or die before they do issue a shut down? I do not want to send my daughter to school. Am I over reacting? Or do others feel the same way?

so you are calling for Martial Law? aka lock everyone in their homes and let the National Guard and troops patrol our streets to ensure no one breaks curfew or leaves their homes? That would be fun and something out of the movie "Outbreak" but it is not happening!

Just as an FYI, my employer has suspended all non-essential travel to locations in boarder towns and Mexico until further notice.
