The World Health Organisation has warned that "all of humanity is under threat" from a potential swine flu pandemic and called for "global solidarity" to combat the virus.

Some of the military has been border agents especially. A document got passed around on this board yesterday of an email that went out explaining what to do and how to approach infected individuals.

Well it went out to military that werent even on the border. Im guessing we will see documents going to police soon. However since the WHO has been slow rolling it no one got ready in time. Seriously people so UNDER hyped this stuff that no one took it seriously. And they wont until they are puking and deficating on themselves. But believe me youre going to see cops working cases differently, they dont take risks they dont have to and they value their own health.

Ok, border agents. But what about cops, fed agents, military personnel, politicians, etc.
All of my friends off this board are military/LE/fed agents. My daugher's father works for DoD/Space Command. I have asked them all if they are receiving any type of briefings or warnings, etc. None of them are.
I just wonder WHY. We are being told this is "All of humanity under threat". Yet no special precautions are being made for these people.

No 30k people do not die, the number is 20k a year from multiple flu strains in the US. Anyone quoting that also doesnt understand biology and why this is being called a pandemic.
Ill see if I can find the email it was posted yesterday morning on this board. Brb.
Until 2003, the CDC had estimated 20,000 deaths per year, but in a study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association, of which Thompson was the lead author, researchers concluded that flu-related deaths had increased during the 1980s and 1990s to between 17,000 and 51,000 deaths annually, an average of 36,000. They attributed that partly to a rise in the number of elderly people, who are at higher risk of dying from flu complications, and to virulent strains circulating in the '90s.
