Swine Flu

[sodamntired]

Swine influenza (also swine flu) refers to influenza caused by any strain of the influenza virus endemic in pigs (swine). Strains endemic in swine are called swine influenza virus (SIV).

are you scared?

watching just the news, the dreaded Swine Flu is and will over-take the world. the sick will be seperated by the healthy. the ill will be sent to private camps. they will say, "oh, it's just a private hospital. why are there armed guards outside the hospital? that's the keep the healthy from getting in and spreading the flu. now you, just shhhhh, shhhh,shhhhut up. thank you.*

 

They don't want US talking about this, but no, no, you can't keep me silent. I have all the internet to post my intelligent thoughts I have acquired from watching national news, and talking with my best friends at the coffee houses, I know the truth.

 

*and I know this is nothing to fear. remember SARS epidemic??? Avian bird Flu????

 

 

 

you know 9/11 was caused by the Bush Administraten, right?????

And most importantly, don't let pigs sneeze on you.

But the pope said condoms have tiny holes in them designed to allow viruses through!

[sodamntired]

I'm sorry but If I'm not allowed to have sex with my pig, what's the point of going on?

I think this picture speaks for itself.

 

[HoboFactory]

Dunno man, I heard if a dolphin goes off inside of you, it does so with enough force to blow all your organs out.

Consider this a mild introduction to the antibiotic-resistant super-plagues of the future.

 

You won't die unless you have a cytokine storm, this time.

Did have a couple of bacon sarnies earlier - even if it meant getting infected, I'll never stop eating those.

Or the virus may have mutated and become less deadly.

 

When viruses mutate, it is to avoid being eradicated so this is highly unlikely.

 

Any pandemic needs to be taken seriously, but the media seems to be doing more harm than good. I am sick of people trying to hoard Tamiflu when they haven't even been to Mexico. I have to work all weekend to so I'm sure the hysteria will be even more heigthened and my job will be awesome.
