RUN!!! The Swine Flu is falling!!! RUN!!!
There is a greater statistical chance you will kill your own kids than they will die of swine flu.
And as far as mutation - the flu virus always mutates. Were you freaking out a couple years ago during flu season? Or ten years ago? Or twenty?
The swine flu was not the big concern it was made out to be and that is the fact. Some people died - including a very small number of children. But far more people kids die from accidents than from swine flu. So take your "Unless you happen to have a child or be one" and shove it up your pathetic hysterical fat ass. And yes, you are fat- your posts reak of chubby fingers on keyboards...
Must be some history here... shezz
I am afraid I posted a wee bit drunk - apologies to Allie.
That being said, the swine flu hysteria is being proven as yet another example of people's herd like mentality to seemingly want to believe the sky is falling. A simple review of the actual facts show it to have been unworthy of one-tenth the hysteria that was produced...
Daily Update of Aggregate Totals

Doses Allocated as of 11/12/09* 41,641,400
Doses Ordered as of 11/12/09 38,054,400
Doses Shipped as of 11/12/09** 36,894,300
*Doses allocated to project areas for ordering are those that are at the distribution depots and ready for project areas to order.
Vaccine is allocated to each project area in proportion to its population (pro rata).
**There is a lag time between allocation, ordering, and shipment of doses as project areas place orders and those orders are processed and shipped.
Scared yet??
The Egyptian government began slaughtering pigs today as a preventative measure to stop the spread of the swine flu, reports the AP. Over 300,000 pigs will be killed immediately despite no reported cases of the pandemic in the country.

And sadly, the hysteria among more "enlightened" Americans was only marginally better regarding this swine flu "national emergency".
We had posters in here complaining over those not wishing to get vaccinated, calling them irresponsible and putting others in danger.
And now we see H1N1 cases dropping swiftly the past couple of weeks, and the actual true impact of the flu virus being relatively mild when compared to the regular old flu.
One could easily take the drops in flu cases and form a headline that reads:
Flu Cases Plummet by 200%
And yet, we don't see such headlines do we?
So many are unwilling to confirm the fact they were - once again - incorrect in their willingness to embrace hysteria devoid of fact and responsibility...
My God...we're all not going to die....

I had the swine flu a month ago..it wasn't that bad. Mucho green/yellow mucus. Kinda colorfull. Drink all the liquids you can stand.. OJ and lotsa water....day and night nyquil.
What are you waiting for? I'll write you the Darwin Award...There is a greater statistical chance you will kill your own kids than they will die of swine flu.
Don't bother with the statistics, it'll only confuse Sinatra further."The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that counting related illnesses the number of deaths from the H1N1 virus is about four times earlier estimates.
"Federal health officials now say nearly 4,000 Americans have died from the H1N1 virus since it first emerged in April. Previous estimates put the number of fatalities at around 1,000, but the death toll has been recalculated to include deaths from flu-related complications, such as pneumonia and bacterial infections.
"The CDC estimates that 22 million Americans have gotten the virus and close to 100,000 have been hospitalized.
"Eight million children have been infected. 540 have died.
"The CDC's Dr. Anne Schuchat, calls these numbers alarming. "I have already seen a larger number of deaths than we have had for several years - I do believe that pediatric death toll from this pandemic will be extensive and much greater than what we see with seasonal flu," she says."
VOA News - Nearly 4,000 People Die From H1N1 in US
"The H1N1 virus is different from normal, seasonal flu, in that it persisted during the summer months and affects relatively healthy people."
No shit? Really? but here is the show stopper.....Pediatric deaths from swine flu in the US are much more extensive than previously thought after health officials expanded their counting method, the nations disease control agency said Thursday
Woo!! Hoo!! we'll pump up those numbers even if we have to make shit up!!! YEEHAW!!!!!Anne Schuchat, a top CDC official who has been in charge of H1N1 prevention and control, said that the agency had expanded its count to include children who have died of secondary infections or who did not have laboratory confirmation that they had swine flu.
I find it interesting that the CDC decided to change the way they tabulated the death toll. Apparently the number wasn't big enough, so they changed their methodology.
H1N1 pediatric deaths quadruple in US under new method
No shit? Really? but here is the show stopper.....Pediatric deaths from swine flu in the US are much more extensive than previously thought after health officials expanded their counting method, the nation’s disease control agency said ThursdayWoo!!

Look, I understand that the swine flu is dangerous and that young people can die from it. I understand all of that and do not deny that it is unique. But the HYPE and fear mongering is making me sick. It has gotten so bad that now the CDC is using the SWAG method of estimating swine flu deaths. It is MANUFACTURED FEAR.
My God...we're all not going to die....

No, only 10,000 or so of our children.
Nothing to worry about.
Unless, of course, you happen ot have a child or be one.
How many people died because of Katrina..?
