I hope that it doesn't get too nasty for all of you over the pond, any major flu outbreak is always a nasty thing.
Yeah, we'll see. I am happy to see the government being proactive and sending that vaccine-type stuff to affected states. Hopefully it'll not end up as a major catastrophe and governments will get good practice at prepping for pandemic disease when it does come. I think almost 100 people have died already in Mexico, so this is probably already worse than bird flu.

Is the swine flu basically just the flu?

Perhaps it was genetically created by the Illuminati to curb the world's population to a more manageable, self-sustainable number. Oh...I've said too much.

I heard it spread to the other side of the pond, if you include spain.
The odd thing is, if you follow the mortality statistics, of 100 dead out of 1800 infections in Mexico, this means that at least one American should be dead. Yet none are. I'm not worried about it.
I went to Hong Kong during SARS times and it was great. The hotels were cheap, restaurant service was great, the stores empty. Maybe a trip to Mexico City might be fun.

zoom out a bit.. and make sure you see what the colors mean.. it isn't all bad but it isn't that good it seems.

it sounds scary and I have to admit it freaked me out a little when I first read about this,... but what I want to know is, why would this Flu kill more than a regular flu? as far as I know, there is no cure for regular flu, and I usually sit it out without dying when I have it.
I guess a lot of people already die from regular flu, but I suppose these are already not in best health.
the symptoms of this swine variety sound exactly the same. also, the US cases have been mild so far. so I wonder if this is more related to the availability of good healthcare in Mexico..

Influenza does kill a lot of people every year, but not so much in highly developed countries like the US... again thanks to modern medicine.

+1. Exactly. Just sounds like the Flu to me, except it isn't flu season. Damn media.
I just got off the phone with my "baby mama", she's all freaked by the whole thing and wanting to formulate an emergency plan for when, when, it gets worse and we need to "run to the hills". Eight years ago she bought 1000 pounds worth of "end of the world food" thats packed in such a way that it lasts for decades, she's been waiting for a chance to use it.
I'm so glad I have custody of the kids.
Is it gonna get worse? Probably. Will it cause global chaos? Probably not.
