It will never get to Washington.  It will be stopped before that.
A muslim won't allow the SWINE flu near him.

Once the flu was identified as coming from Mexico.  It's a good thing that they didn't restrict travel or visa applications.  They didn't want the lines to get too long...

Too late, he already went to IT.  On April 16th Obama met with Felipe Solis, an archeologist in Mexico.  He shook hands and toured a museum with the man.  On April 23rd, Solis died with symptoms of swine flu.

Curious as to how much money they will throw at the cure if the 100 day wonder catches it?

I really don't believe that story, it is just too coincidental. Isn't it funny that this is happening after o met with most of the world leaders in the last few weeks? Seems to me it is another plan to funnel more tax-money to the poor. There are only about  40 cases in the US right now, is our health care system so efficient it can link 40 cases over 4 states together?

 Bush used the bird flu scare to divert attention . It seems only fair to have obama use swine flu. (the swine flu in 1918 killed over 50 million people this version seems a lot less fatal)

SARS, Bird Flu, Swine Flu...  Hopefully it's just another false alarm.  We'll know more in a week or so won't we...  We can ONLY hope that it has about a one month incubation period and the "annointed one" will come down with it postehaste.  Perhaps a few select members of congress and the cabinet as well...

It is so deadly that not one of the 40 effected in the US are dead or even deathly ill.  It is not resistant to tamaflu.  It is easily cured with antivirals that we have an abundance of.  I don't see what the big deal is, but it is a good distraction.

Just read a 23 month old in Texas might be the first death attributed to the swine flu. 'Couse the media is going to play this up. I certainly do not want any harm to any child, but I also know that people die from what most of us consider everyday disease's, and don't think to much when we might have one.
Read yesterday, a ''Doctor'', claims the govt. had something to do with the design of this virus. Claims he didn't think that a virus could contain different strains from bird,swine and human without help from a labratory. My wife, a Medical Lab Tech., says otherwise. According to her, these virus's mutate and change quite easily, which is why it's so hard to develope a vaccine that will work on more than one strain of virus. As soon as you get something that is effective, it change's, and then the medical personel have to start all over.  gypsyman

Read where China and Russia have put an embargo on not only pork, but Russia added beef too. Went out and bought some bacon for tomorrows breakfast, and looking forward to $3.00/lb black angus porterhouse in the near future. (I remember my mother going thru the roof at the store, when she went to by chuck roast to make stew one day. Cost-.59/lb)  gypsyman

This will cause another push for socialized healthcare, another reason for the gov't to have access to our medical records through a central database. The sheeple will go along willingly to stop this "pandemic". Another right (privacy) GONE!


 Just heard on the news that 36000 people die every year from the 'regular' flu every year in the united states every year. Why in the heck is this now such a scare?

Do you suppose al gore has a movie in the works yet?

Reconstruction of the 1918 Influenza Pandemic Virus

CDC researchers and their colleagues have successfully reconstructed the influenza virus that caused the 1918-19 flu pandemic, which killed as many as 50 million people worldwide. A report of their work, "Characterization of the Reconstructed 1918 Spanish Influenza Pandemic Virus," was published in the October 7 issue of Science. The work is a collaboration among scientists from CDC , Mount Sinai School of Medicine , the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology , and Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory. The following questions and answers describe this important research and related issues.

Why in the workd would one want to recreate a virus that killed 50 million.... Think about it.... our best interest my @ss...

The article says 20 to 50 million. Thats a pretty wide range isn't it? To me that reads at least 20 people, up to 50 million. Could it be that it was released deliberately if it is the same strain?
