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 If Spanish Flu mutated then why can't swine flu? Do you even know about the strain of seasonal flu? If not please go away and read about it, then come back when you relise whi swine flu is SO MUCH DIFFERENT than seasonal flu. |

By:
why should he? If you can't answer straightfoward questions why should anyone take you seriously?
|
|
By:
tell me why it is different, you are the one telling us to stock up on dried foods.
|
|
By:
'If Spanish Flu mutated then why can't swine flu?'
It could, but you're the only person suggesting it is likely to. |
|
By:
Whippet ( whistles) here boy...
If the H5N1 crosses with a strain of H1N1 which has become resistant to tamiflu and the other antivirals then we are in deep doo doo. |
|
By:
more likely to mutate as the numbers infected are expected to be so high. making it more likely mix with other viruses. not too earth shattering really. 1 in 3 of the population was infected by Spanish flu.
I will be concerned if it mutates / resists anti v's As things stand, we are in for a very bad outbreak of flu which Cath22 is right to highlight |
|
By:
I will be concerned if it mutates / resists anti v's
So will all of us. Let us know when this happens, ta. |
|
By:
So we gain what exactly from Caths hysteria?
|
|
By:
monsieur
Atlast someone with sense and exactly what I said in the post above yours. |
|
By:
Whistle all you like, but (yet again) if you have any reason to think that will happen, otherwise perhaps stop exploiting people's deaths for whatever weird thing you're attempting. Nobody's jumping - we don't believe you!
|
|
By:
The smart move would probably be to import face masks by the million. Other than that I cannot see what Cath is adding.
|
|
By:
'the numbers (globally) expected to get Swine flu are massively higher than those for seasonal flu.
Yet again, source please! |

|
By:
The sort that mugs like you might buy?
|
|
By:
What would you suggest Cath?
|
|
By:
So sparky how long does it take you to log from one account to the other?
;-) |
|
By:
Cath is correct to point out that we are at risk of a serious pandemic
the best case scenario is that numbers affected in the UK are in the low millions and that the virus stays in it's current form You will all know people who catch it, and you will all be affected (in some form) through unavailability of some products / services. anything more is speculation at this stage. |
|
By:
Are you suggesting sparky and I are one and the same?
|
|
By:
7 years, no bans, no second accounts, monsieur.
Ask around, even people who regularly disagree with me will confirm. |
|
By:
Looks like the whippet's run off with his tail between his legs, like many others have and will.
|
|
By:
Cath, suggesting Sparky and I are the same is just daft, he's WAY more handsome than I.
|
|
By:
monsieur p - like every other flu since 1918. With respect, anyything other than it being like the flu's of the last near century is nothing more than speculation.
|
|
By:
^^^ ?
|
|
By:
DAMN!!!
|
|
By:
Sib, will you sort it out. You are making a fool of us.
|
|
By:
Cath no -one has run off with their tail between their legs. It might be true that some chit-chatters have died of boredom (more than have caught swine flu (spreading).
|
|
By:
DAMN YOU Sparkmaster! You've blown it for all of me!

Whippet ( whistles) here boy... If the H5N1 crosses with a strain of H1N1 which has become resistant to tamiflu and the other antivirals then we are in deep doo doo. Thanks for that valuable piece of insight, and congratulations on your ability to copy and paste info from a website. You are obviously not as stupid as I thought you were. However, you failed to note above that I already acknowledged the fact that if it resists tamiflu then people might be in a lot of trouble, however that probability is nearly non existant, unless this virus changes its morphology completely. |
|
By:
just a minute protein change is required for it to start to mutate
this can be caused by over use of Tamiflu |
|
By:
^^ Trigger?
|
|
By:
go on. evidence?
|
|
By:
Sprry Trigger was meant to be aimed at Whippet.

"Claps hands"
The first thing cath has posted that I believe. |

By:
all these Head-In-The-Sand-Doubters seem to spend alot of time on this fred...
OBSESSED with Swine Flu :D |
|
By:
It was a simple question Monsiuer
Yet again, source please! |

Source?? FFS, I am not even stating anything dubious

easy to find a course then
