If I was you, when you do your weekly shop gradually stock on dried stuff and tin food.

I'll answer this once and once only. I have that stupid question put to me on here time and time again.
By:
sibaroni
When: 06 Jul 09 23:28
Yeah but you never answer it. Any how you don't need to because here is the facts.

Swine flu has no greater a death rate than normal flu, which comes round every year. Fact, end of discussion for the non-dillusional amongst us.

You have to be one of the most moronic person ever to grace this thread.

Autumn, mutation ect.. you silly sausage.
By:

When: 06 Jul 09 23:31
there is no evidence, none, that swine flu is any more or less likley to mutate than any flu. None, at all.

Go get me the stats for deaths in this country caused by seasonal flu during the summer months please.

When: 06 Jul 09 23:35
Cath, is there any reason for your current scare mongering tactics? You seem to be a copy and paste merchant at best, so for you to make unsubstantiated claims such as "40 people a day will die" and "public areas are a no go" is completely laughable. Quite simply, you have absolutely no clue about any of the background theory on this virus so for you to start spreading rumours like they are facts serves no purpose but to drive people into a state of panic.

Oh look another one pops up, let's see if you have the balls to still post in this thread in a couple months time shall we? You'll notice a few have gone from this thread because they spoke to soon.

And again Cath what were you attempting to type or say?
By:

When: 06 Jul 09 23:38
5,000 - 10,000 die of flu in Britain every year. I don't know of stats setting that out on a monthly basis.

You are the one suggesting stocking up on dried foods. What evidence have you got that swine flu is any more likley to mutate than any other flu?

Rather than entertain the usual "just answer it cath" type thread, I will tell what evidence there is. There is none.

You asking that question sums up how clueless you are. Anyway you should alwasy be stocked up ready for the winter months ahead because you never know what to expect.

To be honest Cath, the daftest stuff gets posted on this forum, and you still get a few, well, canaryboy at least,happy to defend the indefensible, but your ceaseless cheerleading of death has met with an entirely appropriate response.
By:
sibaroni
When: 06 Jul 09 23:42
you not being able to present any evidence to suggest that swine flu is more likely to mutate than any other flu (because there is none) makes clear the position.

You have no basis in fact to be getting all panicky. Get out more, absolutely not less. I think it is clear which is causing you most problems.

seems fair to me cath, other than a slight dig at canary who is big enough to handle it, what is the problem?
By:

When: 06 Jul 09 23:45
lol and yet I feel OK, it's almost as if I haven't been lying to people for several months because I'm so feeble that wanting to create hysterical panic makes me feel better.

Fair play to chit-chat on this.

the numbers (globally) expected to get Swine flu are massively higher than those for seasonal flu.

this means that it is more likely to be caught by anyone (numbers currently negligible) that is carrying H5N1 (Bird flu)

this is the mutation that the authorities are very concerned about (currently in Egypt) as it is very likely to resist anti-virals and fatality rates will be much higher in % terms
By:

how much massively higher monsieur?

Oh dear oh dear. You have no evidence to back up your stupid little claims so you resort to being childish. You have been exposed as nothing more than a silly nitwit who bases all their judgements on what the tabloids tell them. Heres a tip, if there is a topic that you aren't even remotely qualified to pass judgement on, don't stick your oar in and copy and paste stuff trying to pass it off as your own opinion, just stay out. This way people aren't driven into a state of panic.

Shows what a thick deluded bafoon you are really but your not alone, you have a new pooch above that joins you in that category.

This strain has all the ingrediants it needs to mutate, and the firm evidence will come when it mutates and the probability is very high indeed.

well there is the history of Spanish Flu in 1918 that mutated 2 or 3 times to become significantly more virluent, killing higher numbers than those who died in WW1

By:

that is,

'the numbers (globally) expected to get Swine flu are massively higher than those for seasonal flu.'

Expected by whom, and how much higher?
By:
sibaroni
When: 06 Jul 09 23:54
yes monsieur - Spanish flu mutated and caused many deaths. Any flu can. The question is, why should swine flu any more than other flu?

Cath - it does have all the ingredients, it is flu. This doesn't make it any more likely to mutate than any other flu. Its less exciting for you I know, but thems the facts.

What you halfwits don't relise is swine flu mixed with H5N1 will be deadly according to Virologists.
By:

yes, as would any flu. Why should it happen?

Cath: But as you are not one why do you simply recycle what you hear on the news.
There is a flu epidemic. It may kill people (it hasn't yet). And you have what to offer?

Cath, this is exactly what I am talking about. Do you even understand what you have written there? You have just picked up this buzz word, "mutations" from somewhere, and now you start banding it about at every available opportunity in order to cause people to panic. I can bet my life that you don't even know why a mutation happens or what effects this has on a virus.

It might be time to worry if it becomes very virulent and also highly resistant to tamiflu, however the latter is extremely unlikely, and this is a fact. So no need to panic.
