stu, you’re getting so manic over swine flu you’re weakening your own immune system and increasing your chances of getting it

There are people all around here battling a very bad flu. It’s bad -- people are complaining that it’s painful. Some have even said “I wanted to die” -- after they got better. But I don’t know anyone who has died from it. I don’t know if it’s swine or another strain going around, but I’m not too concerned. I fear getting the flu period. I had one bad flu five years ago and it kept be bed ridden for weeks.

The CBC reports that out of the Canadian cases no one has been hospitalized. That tells me it isn’t that bad and there is no need to start cordoning off towns and dropping nukes on them or wrapping people in bubbles and having doctors in space suits running around (although that would be pretty amazing.)

And about the politicians who are fanning panic: they’re no more brighter than we are. Plus, when nothing happens and they’re up for reelection they can always say “Remember, I saved you guys from pig flu.”

Sure, lots of people died in Mexico. This might be conjecture or ignorance on my part but there is a lot of poverty in Mexico, pollution, and any number of factors which may contribute to people being in bad condition to begin with. So any flu might be a bad flu in some places.

Anyway, I’ve got to board up some windows. I don’t want any zombies getting into the house.

Avian Influenza Phase Document

Phase 5 is characterized by human-to-human spread of the virus into at least two countries in one WHO region. While most countries will not be affected at this stage, the declaration of Phase 5 is a strong signal that a pandemic is imminent and that the time to finalize the organization, communication, and implementation of the planned mitigation measures is short.

What I want to know, why don't you ever hear about this ? : http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/04/28...flu/index.html

I believe in education of it. But the media has made it a straight panic about it and it is ridiculous. I am so feed up with hearing about that I mute the news segments about it.

To fight the flu is simple, it is basic hygiene and common sense....that people do not seem to do.

[stuveltje]

so you wash your hands every time, like when you touch a shopping car or touch something else...because thats the part of the hygene when you want to prevent the flu, like some one sneeze in his hands and touch a door of a shopcar, you go there and touch the door and instead going into the shop you first gonna wash your hands, i am not figthing you, just going thru facts, the flu you cant think easely off

Easy, carry hand sanitizer. I've been using it for 18yrs...restaurants have been. They come in little bottles that are perfect for your purse.

Don't get me wrong, it should be taken serious. But I do not believe in panicking and causing drama and that is exactly what is happening and that is what I take issue with.

I always try to sneeze into one of my cat's butts. They seem to really enjoy it and their fur is great for wiping your nose.

that reminds me of a commercial showing on telly here, its shows a dog who's fur is just as soft as toiletpaper, so i keep wondering myself, why buy the toilet paper everytime, if i just use the dog and recycle his fur evertime by cleaning it, would be much cheaper

I remember the meningitis scares. We used to get vaccinated for it. One of my cousins got it and survived, thankfully. But it killed a few people. Including a friend of another cousin. A few years later I was in Quebec City. I had the flu and it just happened that cases of meningitis were appearing in the city. That wasn't fun.

First - sorry to hear about the tragic event in the Netherlands the other day, Stu. Very sad and crazy.

Secondly, don't worry about this silly little flu.
