potential swine flu tests for airline travelers[views:1666][posts:15]______________________________ [Oct 12,2009 7:44am - Yeti ""] http://www.kfoxtv.com/news/21262057/detail.html so if you have just a regular cold, be prepared for harassment. i can't believe how bad this is getting. |

Plus, to be fair, people are stupid, selfish and assholes and will totally board a fucking plane, attend class, go to work, etc with the flu without any consideration to those around them that might not want to die of the fucking pig flu. I wasn't going to get the kids immunized but seeing all the dead little kids on the news has officially scared me into get them the shots. Big brother wins. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 12,2009 3:25pm - Yeti ""] i still don't fully buy it. i know that the whole "cytokine storm" is something to worry about, but how many of the deaths are actually from swine flu, and not from a complication that flared up due to being sick, that could have happened with the regular flu? i've done quite a bit of reading on the virus and it seems that the line between swine flu and the Spanish flu has all but disappeared. the swine flu has attacked those with healthy immune systems, but not really any moreso than the regular flu. i'm not trying to discourage you, i just can't believe all the hype. |

Then make a huge scene when they try to stop you. Bonus points for getting it on film and/or wearing an SS uniform over the pig costume. |

| _________________________________ [Oct 12,2009 7:04pm - sxealex ""] UNITED STATES Deaths from REGULAR Flu in 2001: 63,730 annual deaths for influenza and pneumonia ... estimated 20,000 deaths from just flu Swine flue deaths: WORLDWIDE total in 2009 4,675 wtf? why is everyone shitting their pants |
| _________________________________ [Oct 13,2009 4:52pm - gslice ""] I'm not going to defend the swine flu vaccine, and I'm certainly not going to say this isn't SARS'09, but people are freaking out about h1n1 because supposedly it has a crazy high kill rate (20-50% as per some npr blurb I thought I heard a week ago...) for otherwise healthy 20-30 year-olds |
