I told you yesterday cath, you need to relax a bit.
Even if you're fears were well founded, and they're not, there isn't any point in all this worrying. On north-west news now. "A passenger FELL ILL on a flight back from Mexico, she was taken home in an ambulance where she's being monitored by her GP. She's being described as being quite well". WHERE is the story in this? Local news full of panic mongering too. |

STOP IT. I'm being serious now. You're getting hysterical. Why are you talking about deaths? No one has dies outside of Mexico A: YET . and even some of those are old people who could have died from complications/other conditions.A: ALSO ALOT OF YOUNG HEALTHY ADULTS - READ ABOUT THE SPANISH FLU 1918 Don't talk about what you don't know. A: JUST PROVED I KNOW ALOT MORE THAN YOU DEAR little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Do you have any idea how much it would cost to implement these measures you talk of?? I bet you complain about wasted government money when the argument suits... |

I fear a Peter and the Wolf scenario. After all the previous scares and nothing happened, could this outbreak be the one while everyone else dismisses it. Cath22 could be right all along.

I told you yesterday cath, you need to relax a bit. Even if you're fears were well founded, and they're not, there isn't any point in all this worrying. On north-west news now. "A passenger FELL ILL on a flight back from Mexico, she was taken home in an ambulance where she's being monitored by her GP. She's being described as being quite well". WHERE is the story in this? Local news full of panic mongering too. And this is crazy StudyForm because the two in Scotland also felt fine on there return. It can take around 7days to come out. If this person is confirmed in a few days time it's swine flu..then how many other passengers on that flight will go down with it also? Too late by then because they would of been let out into the community. This is how easy it spreads. Thats why more and more flights need to be cancelled in and out of the main affected area now. |

Telling me YET and CHECK OUT SPANISH FLU 1918 doesn't make you an expert. what sort of answer is YET You're secretly (or not so secretly) hoping someone outside Mexico dies aren't you!? then you can turn round and tell us you're right. Sick. I shall have nothing more to do with you Madam. |

And what if they haven't, Cath????
Perhaps there should be a worldwide curfew, and stop all world trade, cull all Pigs, Nuke Mexico. and treble water chlorination. Get a grip ffs. |

Listen just because you name yourself an ** doesn't mean you act line one.
Face facts and take the cotton wool off your eyes you blithering fool. Of course I DON'T want anyone to die, wether it's Mexico or not. When I say Yet you need to read my other posts mostly to you explaining the deaths in Mexico are probably because they have had this flu for around a Month they also have alot more cases obviously becaus ethey have had it longer. The confirmed cases in the USA are growing, the more it grows the more chances that there will be deaths. Not rocket science is it? |

How many people go abroad and catch things and die from them.
I had a good friend who aged 43, only 4 years ago, was bitten by a Mosquito, in either Keya or Thailand, he caught Dengue Hemorragic Fever, and died, after developing 'flu-like' symptoms. The world's a crap place, full of crap stuff. It's even fuller of idiots and many of these make their living causing panic. |

Comparing bird flu with swine flu is just stupid...
If bird flu had spread from human to human half of you wouldn't be here right now. Swine flu is just a fancy name for a regular flu... f uck all to worry about. I'd be much more worried about, hm... eh.. what I'm going to have for dinner. |

Cath... WHO have confirmed that the bug cannot be contained and if the news that this began in February is true then the damage has already been done; all we can do now is wait and see what develops. As others are saying, que sara sara I know this, but they say it can't be contained which I agree with because it's already out there we all know that. WHO said no point in closing borders because it;s out there. If this is the case then why advice against travelling to the affected countries? Obviously this is because you limit the chances of catching the flu, so I say the borders of Mexico do need to be closed before anymore come out of there and start spreading it. |

Cath you're again missing the point... it CANNOT be contained

Aspro 28 Apr 13:51 Cath you're again missing the point... it CANNOT be contained Cannot be contained but you can limit the chances of spread. I.E avoiding Mexico. Why do you think the airlines that have already cancelled flights have done this? |

So they slow it down a bit... a week perhaps?

Where do you live Cath? I'm going to Mexico next week, maybe I'll pay your city a visit at the end of the month. Have a beer and some swine flu...?

OK, this argument's gone mental, what will it take for either side to win? It's 0-0, 90 minutes in, the ref's gone home and it looks like we're going into indefinite extra-time. Can someone hurry up and crush their opponent please?
|
|
By:
Might slow it down a bit and give it time to maybe die out itself yes. Good idea.
1,600 confirmed in Mexico then it makes sense to limit the risks. |

The big unanswered question is whether or not the mild swine flu bugs will evolve into the more serious version that's killing people in Mexico. It may be a natural progression that's inevitable or it may not be.
If it is we're well fecked. But even if it isn't, the nasty Mexican version could yet spread further afield and become global. Pretty bleak scenario, whichever way you look at it. |

''The outbreak of swine flu should be renamed "Mexican" influenza in deference to Muslim and Jewish sensitivities over pork, an Israeli health official has said.
Deputy Health Minister Yakov Litzman said the reference to pigs is offensive to both religions and "we should call this Mexican flu and not swine flu," he told a news conference at a hospital in central Israel '' Please bear this in mind . |
