It seems we just get rid of one problem and then get another.
Did you know that there is a pandemic or an epidemic about every 10 years? And the last pandemic was from 1997-99, so we're due for one.
And the Mexican "swine flu" or H1N1 outbreak was NOT a pandemic or epidemic.
It does raise serious questions about where this brand new, never before seen virus came from, especially since it cannot be contracted from eating pork products, and has never before been seen in pigs, and contains traits from the bird flu and which so far only seems to respond to Tamiflu.
According to the Associated Press at least one financial analyst estimates up to $388 million worth of Tamiflu sales in the near future. That's without a pandemic outbreak.
More than half a dozen pharmaceutical companies, including Gilead Sciences Inc., Roche, GlaxoSmithKline and other companies with a stake in flu treatments and detection, have seen a rise in their shares in a matter of days, and will likely see revenue boosts if the swine flu outbreak continues to spread.
In February 2009, American pharmaceutical company Baxter was under investigation for distributing the deadly avian flu virus to 18 different countries as part of a seasonal flu vaccine shipment. Czech reporters were probing to see if it may have been part of a deliberate attempt to start a pandemic; as such a "mistake" would be virtually impossible under the security protocols of that virus.
The contaminated product, a mix of H3N2 seasonal flu viruses and unlabelled H5N1 viruses, was supplied to an Austrian research company. The Austrian firm, Avir Green Hills Biotechnology, then sent portions of it to sub-contractors in the Czech Republic, Slovenia and Germany.
The contaminated product, which Baxter calls “experimental virus material,” was made at the Orth-Donau research facility. Baxter makes its flu vaccine, including a human H5N1 vaccine (for which a licence is expected shortly) at a facility in the Czech Republic. People familiar with biosecurity rules are dismayed by evidence that human H3N2 and avian H5N1 viruses somehow co-mingled in the Orth-Donau facility. That is a dangerous practice that should not be allowed to happen, a number of experts insisted.
While H5N1 doesn’t easily infect people, H3N2 viruses do. If someone exposed to a mixture of the two had been simultaneously infected with both strains, he or she could have served as an incubator for a hybrid virus able to transmit easily to and among people. That mixing process, called “reassortment”, is one of two ways pandemic viruses are created in the lab.
Reassortment is the mixing of the genetic material of two similar viruses that are infecting the same cell. In particular, reassortment occurs among influenza viruses, whose genomes consist of eight distinct segments of RNA. These segments act like mini-chromosomes, and each time a flu virus is assembled, it requires one copy of each segment.
The H5N1 virus on its own is not very airborne. However, when combined with seasonal flu viruses, which are more easily spread, the effect could be a potent, airborne, deadly, biological weapon. If this batch of live bird flu and seasonal flu viruses had reached the public, it could have resulted in terrible consequences. Some scientists say the most recent global outbreak (the 1977 Russian flu) was started by a virus created and leaked from a laboratory.
A top scientist for the United Nations, who has examined the outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus in Africa, as well as HIV/AIDS victims, has concluded that the current swine flu virus possesses certain transmission "vectors" that suggest the new strain has been genetically-manufactured. The UN expert believes that Ebola, HIV/AIDS, and the current A-H1N1 swine flu virus are biological warfare agents.
Another example of the less sterling integrity of Big Pharma is the case of Bayer, who sold millions of dollars worth of an injectable blood-clotting medicine to Asian, Latin American, and some European countries in the mid-1980s, even though they knew it was tainted with the AIDS virus.
I just want to know if there's a good reason for all the talk about the swine flu. So people have died from it, haven't people died from the normal flu?

Many people now are sick with this disease.
I was wondering what would happen if there was a bird flu pandemic. I have this friend who can make up weird stories sometimes, and she told me that they were going to lock us in our houses and only vaccinate people from 19-35 years old. This kinda got me wondering what will happen if a pandemic happens. I'm kinda freaked out because I've heard so much about how bad it is and would be, and how slow the vaccines are coming out.
Never trust a so called professional they are only in it for the money.
i was told recently that the flu kills people, but so does the swine flu?

This is the first worldwide pandemic in 41 years.
I need some good advice and a few more information about this swine flu. When will it stop spreading all over the world? It is already spreading and I want it to stop before my pen pal go to Mexico. How long will it take it to stop and be gone? Why swine flu? Why do they call it? I don't get it about swine flu. I know it could kill people and it is not to become cured but why is it spreading? What are the signs of it? Please help me and I want it to stop.
What do you think is the role of chemistry and technology in an attempt to stop the spread of the virus H1N1?
good answers are well-appreciated :D
It is known to be a certainty that we will have this pandemic, but the question is WHEN?
How do I tell the difference between Swine Flu and the common flu?
I am having flu like symptoms and have been in contact with someone from the US but he isn't sick.
This just drives me crazy. I know its probably not any of my business, but I have this theory that only the very young, very old or already compromised in some way will die from this virus. It just eats at my curiosity.

I was just wondering, since I've heard a lot of people talking about scientists working on a vaccine for swine flu. How long will it take for a vaccine to be developed, though? After all, the HIV virus has been recognized since the late 70s or early 80s, and we STILL don't have a vaccine for that!
The vaccine is a deadly combination of Swine and Avian flu variants. It contains squalene which is known to cause severe immune disorders.
Why are they closing so many schools in Dallas Texas because of the Swine Flu? Why don't they close down a school if a student has the "Normal" flu?
In a few months time they'll have worked up a vaccine for H1N1 - are you going to be first in the queue or give it a miss altogether?
I know I'm being silly, but my boyfriend might have swine flu as he went over to a friends house whose Mum has it. So if he has got it when will he start to get sick? And what are the chances of dying from Swine Flu? Is it any higher than normal flu? I've been told if you have Asthma it is worse for you and he has it which is why i'm worried. Plus if he comes over my house is it high risk for him to be around my brother who is 10 or my Grandad?

Our family planned a vacation down in L.A and Hollywood but with the flu going on, we might cancel it..you guys got any input?
What is the difference between swine flu and the regular flu?
Basically, Airborne is concocted of common household herbs to help boost your immune system. However, any infection can still be contracted from one individual to another despite taking any preventative measures - especially if the germs are transmitted through bodily fluids, such as coughing, sneezing, vomiting, etc.
So, taking Airborne as a supplement does not protect you from any virus. However, with a healthy and sanitary lifestyle, you can increase your chances of not getting sick at all. That, and staying away from people.
“All those little porky things that the House put in, the money for the [National] Mall or the sexually transmitted diseases or the flu pandemic, they’re all out,” Schumer said.
And voted NO to it. how pathetic are the liberal lunatics
~ With the Swine flu one level from turning into a pandemic, how soon would you start to buy at least a 2 to 3 week supply of non perishables, and necessities ? What should we be buying and is 2 to 3 weeks worth enough? If this turns into a pandemic, it is possible that local stores will be so short handed, that they will be limited to store hours, deliveries can be delayed even come to a stand still if it does spread as fast as the CDC is expecting. I would just like to be prepared.
My nephew, who is barely 2 years old, has caught it, unfortunately. He caught from his grandmother, who always takes cares of him when his father or mother is too busy. That means I have two relatives that are afflicted with the virus. =[
In case you want to know, these cases are from Massachusetts, USA.
I will be flying to Texas for vacation this summer.
Is there an injection for a flu that prevents the outbreak of the swine flu?
Did people in the U.S die of the swine flu?
How many cases of the flu have been in Texas?

Do people who die from Swine Flu have weak immune systems? Do they have preexisting medical problems and take medication for those problems? Is Swine Flu similar to the 1918 Bird Flu strain that killed one out of every fifty people who became infected with the strain? How worried should americans be about Swine Flu?
I am planning to visit with family to Niagara falls on 30th May from canada side.
I'm just interested in hearing what other people have to say about this issue. Do you think that this new flu has the potential to turn into a pandemic (something along the lines of the Spanish flu of 1918)?
My family is planning to go to parts of China (Beijing, Hong Kong, Hainan Island etc.) and maybe Japan or Taiwan this summer. With the swine flu outbreak, would you still go or cancel the vacation?
Thanks for everyone's input!
Conservatives expressed great desire to shut down the borders; was that a prudent position?

I've been looking for a way to lose a quick 40. Would swine flu do the trick? Is a trip to Mexico in order?
Question Details: I am a public health -epidemiology PhD student. I would like to research pandemic preparedness but I am having a hard time fitting epidemiology into the topic of pandemic preparedness. Everything I have thought about seems so community health based. Any and All suggestions and thougts are appreciated. Thanks
We're now up to 147 cases and it's increasing huge amounts each day. There are more cases of swine flu here than any other country in the world apart from Mexico. Why are there so many?
What are some detail on this, and will it be distributed to anyone. I have heard that they will have one in the US, so will there be one for my loved ones in Mexico. I am willing to pay.
Are many of the swine flu cases in the U.S. really just people with the regular flu?
I know someone who claimed to get reults in 20 minutes, but I thought this had to go out for lab work? Please site any sources.
Maybe an infected bird pooped on a pig? I really don`t know!
My friend works at a cancer clinic, and they have been advised to send any people who come in for treatment for testing if they have flu like symptoms. Since the treatment and in some cases the type of cancer causes "flu-like symptoms" in at least 80% of cancer patients, her department has been sending the majority of their patients to get tested.
Does this seem unnecessary to you? We live in a province in Canada that has not had any confirmed swine flu cases.
I'm wondering how likely it is to mutate into a more serious virus?
Maybe it's some form of 'mass-control' drug which the government wants to distribute as widely as possible.
I think more people probably died yesterday from slipping on banana skins, so is there a worldwide 'banana skin slippage pandemic' ?
I am getting very worried about this pandemic warning about the swine flu. I live in britain and there hasnt been any confirmed cases yet but how bad is the disease and does it have anything to do with the H5N1 influenza?
would be helpful because i really want to find out in case someone in the house catches the virus.Thank you in advance.

It was a terrorist attack!
The puppet government of Cuba behind the bacteriological/biological terrorist attack against Mexico!
Swine flu affects pigs. But it was modified in labs to make it affect humans.
Mexico suspect in Cuba's clandestine labs.
Cuba is afraid and ban Mexico to visit the island.
Florida is afraid too.
Terrorist cells in Cuba and Florida are under investigation.
Cuba "has at least a limited offensive biological warfare" capability that could support biological warfare programs.
Cuba is attempting to develop weapons of mass destruction.
The State Department's top nonproliferation official, called on Cuba to cease transfers of biological weapons technology to "rogue states and to fully comply with all of its obligations under the Biological Weapons Convention."
For four decades Cuba has maintained a biomedical industry. Swine Flu virus might be modified in Cuba's clandestine laboratories and used against Mexico.!!!
What is the ground reality there, how is routine life affected?

The symptoms are basically the same, right? How can someone tell if they have the swine flu rather than just a normal flu?
I have succumbed to Hallucinations-1 and Nausea-1 as a result of listening to Propaganda. Is there a cure.
I was just wondering if there has been any reported cases of Swineflu/H1N1 in Cancun, Mexico?
Also are there any vaccines for the H1N1 Virus?
Thanks
I have found a place on the CDC website that shows the states with confirmed cases, but am curious as to where in those states the cases were found. Thanks!
Well, which one is it? Nothing to worry about, or a possible pandemic?
Just think if 65,000 chavs get infested with H1N1 it may solve all those chav social problems and aggrovation. Could you imagine how great that would be for Britians future? Think about it, seriously!
Do you think that there is a connection made in people's minds when the hear the word Pandemic that makes them think of Panic and the kind of social chaos that implies. Do you suppose they visualize lootings, shootings and riots?
Other than the swine flu started in Mexico and the bird flu starting in Asia?
I've been checking the CDC's webpage almost daily..:
http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/update.htm#statetable
And today it says there is 392 Confirmed Cases of Swine Influenza in Illinois, the most out of all the states.
Did one of the school go to Mexico for a trip, does anyone know? And if so could you tell me the city in Illinois they are from?
Just wanting to know for the children, afterall they are most vulnerable.

I am not sure if this is what I have yet. Although all the symptoms I have had are similar. I did go for a test two days ago to see if this is what I actually have. I have been staying home. I have been having different symptoms daily since last Saturday...when does it end?
I'm somewhat concerned about the possible spred of swine flu in the U.S. Will President Obama's teleprompter tell him to say that the country needs to proclaim this a pandemic?
I notice I've been oinking lately like a pig, might I have the swine flu?
I've heard it consists of avian, pig and human flu elements; why is that? And what does this mean? Is it going to mutate to something less forgiving in it's dormancy during the winter months subtropical?
Somewhere ?? wth ?
Okay, so i found out that a friend of mines mother contracted H1N1 and days ago i shared a drink with my friend.he has been tested for h1n1 and does not have it. But i am still unsure if the virus can be detected during incubation.
I started with a small tickle in my throat this morning and now I have a complete soar throat with slight nausea after taking some daytime Tylenol. I just wanted to know if there are any recognizable differences between the regular everyday sicknesses and the Swine Flu so you can easily say for yourself that are have the Sine Flu virus. Serious answers only please.
While H5N1 doesn't easily infect people, H3N2 viruses do. If someone exposed to a mixture of the two had been simultaneously infected with both strains, he or she could have served as an incubator for a hybrid virus able to transmit easily to and among people.
That mixing process, called reassortment, is one of two ways pandemic viruses are created.
So who is monitoring these people to avoid contaminating people as a means of making money off of it later?
Just wondering because it has been said that the whole swine flu thing is just a media hype to distract us all from taxes, global warming and all the other problems our little world seems to have these days. I know people have died and that's bad but is it as serious as the media are claiming or are we just panicking over something fairly mild?
I'm not sure if it's just a cold or the virus but I'm having horrible headaches, tired, coughing, sore throat, body ache, and having a horrible time breathing. I do have asthma which makes the breathing a lot worse. Just want some opinions on what to do. I want to stay home and wait it out and try to get over it alone but not sure if its the right thing to do.
Is Swine flu worse in some way? Because the numbers of people having it are not that big yet, and I'm wondering why they are calling it a pandemic at this stage of things.
She doesn't know that she carries the virus, until a few days later, so she isn't being irresponsible, but she can choose not to fly to New York in the first place since it is such an "unnecessary risk".
its the first day of harry potter 6 so the cinema is gunna be packed
im going this afternoon.
what are my chances of catching Swine Flu?
(im not worried about it, 3 of my friends have got it atm and they say its just like normal flu, just curious)
I have read about it, and this sems to be the biggest factor for my concern.
As of today there are more cases of H1N1 in Japan and other countries in the world I wonder if the airport in Beijing is getting even more cautious? Please respond to this question if you have been there RECENTLY. I'm leaving there in 3 days and really don't want to get quarantined. Thanks!
How long after you get exposed to swine flu do you start getting the symptoms? Also does anyone know when the epidemic started in Mexico?
The Public Health Agency of Canada has listed this on its website (last modified April 26)
"Vaccine
A vaccine is any preparation intended to produce immunity to a disease by stimulating the production of antibodies. Canada has a plan for a vaccine to be produced domestically if a pandemic occurs, which will take about six months once the virus is identified. Enough pandemic vaccine will be produced to cover all Canadians."
Now that the virus has been declared a pandemic, what action is the government taking?
I just read they raised the swine flu level to a pandemic. What does that mean for travel? I have a friend in Europe that's due to come home in a couple days. Will it affect flights?
This is not ‘microevolution,’ you know, it’s not an existing species of flu virus that adapted from swine to humans; it mutated and has evolved so that it can be transmitted from human to human. This would be the ‘macroevolution’ that creationists claim is not possible, so are they denying the swine flu or something irrational like that?
What makes the H1N1 virus different than the "common seasonal flu?"
Could someone please give me a short summary of this. thanks!
They announced that it's phase 5, and I know that Phase 6 means "full scale pandemic," but what does that mean SPECIFICALLY?
Would we have to masks like they do in Mexico City?
Would school be canceled?
Would they tell us not to go out?
Suppose I were a human and had a pet pig. Suppose also that my pig is healthy but I have h1n1. Could my pig catch it from me?
I'm sick as ****!! I have all of the symptoms of the flu including fever, coughing, fatigue, sore throat, body aches, etc etc. How do I know I don't have swine flu???
PS - I'm not one of those crazy hypochondriacs, I'm just curious.
to be honest, i haven't been following the h1n1 news at all, just heard from people.
however i did realise that since this new type of virus was discovered, more people have been getting sick, with the normal kind of flu. like before it started i didn't see so many people getting sick and suddenly the flu virus is spreading around. my country here hasn't really been affected by the swine flu until one and a half weeks ago.
so does the h1n1 affect the normal flu rate around or am i just paranoid?
Swine flu was classified as phase 5 April 29, 2009.
Thats the second highest phase related to Swine Flu, apparently.
I've heard many different things when it comes to phase 6.
I live in Central New York, and recently a couple schools were closed down for a week or so for dicontamination.
How will New York/US be effected if the epidemic is raised to phase 6?
i read on yahoo that there are 30 states with confirmed H1N1 outbreaks. which ones are they?
I'm going on this Thursday (18June) with my mother. I have read a lot of news from newspaper and website saying that the patient of A(H1N1) keep on increase day after day. Am I still safe to travel now ???
I don't know why people are over reacting so much to the swine flu. Is it more deadly than the regular influenza? Many People get the flu every year, some may die from it, some may recover. But They never closed schools just because someone died from the flu. So why is the swine flu any different?
How many people have to be diagnosed or killed by the H1N1 virus for the country to go into a "lockdown" state, eg; closing major public places, schools, stadiums etc..
I just got back from Mexico and I think it is the best time to go down there! We had a group of 15 go down there and not one of us got sick . You could have the chance to have the beach all to yourself because no one is traveling. Good luck its the best vacation I have ever had(and I go on vac alot!)
A few days ago i had most of the symptoms such as sore throat, and slight fever, and vomiting. However, I was too lazy too get tested. Now im just coughing so it was probably not h1n1 and just the common flu.
Getting back to the point, there are thousands of confirmed cases but how much more do you think that would be if that included unreported cases?

So the World Health Organization has moved to level 6 which is a pandemic. Do you think that the current pandemic will worsen? If so when. Also share any comments about what you think.
I was wondering if anyone can tell me what the difference is between a cold and the swine flu? I went to the doctor the other day as I have been sick and he just gave me antibiotics. It makes me wonder, he didnt ask me is i had been travelling or do any tests. I am concerened about the swine flu!
I read somewhere that when the Spanish Flu started in 1918, it started out quite small and slow, then it sped up and ended up infecting 525 million people.(half of the world's population at that time) Could that be what's happening now with the H1N1 strain?
I want to know a little more about swine flu. What is the British Government saying are the basic precautions to help contain the possible flu pandemic? 10 easy points!
I'm planning to buy face masks for the A(H1N1) virus and I wanna know if the appropriate one is the N95 variant. And would different brands give different levels of protection against the virus (eg. cheaper brand, less effective)? Thanks and God bless!
We will be traveling thru plane and I believe its quite reasonable to wear a face mask to avoid possible health treat (h1n1 flu virus) besides from n95 which is costly; what other specific mask would you guys recommend...
Is it a bad thing that there is a tamiflu resistant H1N1 virus strain? And what does it mean now?
Considering that the current H1N1 "swine flu" is actually a combination of swine flu, avian flu and human flu strains from different continents, I would like to have a scientific explanation of how it is possible for this "triad" flu strain to have developed naturally.
"People cannot get the swine flu from eating pork or pork products, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And health officials say there is no evidence the flu originated from hogs. The new flu strain is a mix of genetic material from swine, avian and human flu viruses."
Its a mix of swine, avian, and human flu viruses. Was this flu released on purpose to control population numbers?
In Singapore How much cost you need to pay to hospital if you found you have H1N1, they will quarantine you and hospitalized you.
Roughly how much you need to pay?
People are already panicking just because a couple hundred people are infected and a few have died, sadly. How bad do you think the panic would be if we went from a level 5 to a level 6- which means a full on pandemic. How would people react?

okay so ive heard about the swine flu in mexico b4, but today at school we got notices and like warnings about the "pandemic" saying that we have to be careful because its in the bay area in south CA where our community lives. so, im probably overreacting and stuffs, but does that mean its going to spread between hundreds of people and everything!?!?!? I am really freaking out because people in downtown SJ have been heard to have it which is only 20 mins away from our community. Is it true that there's no cure and that teenagers can easily die from it?!?!
gosh now i really regret watching I AM LEGEND lol!
all answers and information are greatly appreciated! (:
My question is like how to they determin if a person is sick enough to be admitted to a hospital if they have H1N1. I know lots of people who have it now but no one is been sent to the hospital, is it just there symptoms? Or can they test if its bad enough? If its the symptoms, what are they for a serious case that requires hospitalization?
Thee World Health Organization raised the alert over swine flu to level five - one short of a full pandemic.
Dr Margaret Chan says : 'All of humanity is under threat during a pandemic'. This is scary. Is the WHO overreacting?
Im really scared of Swine flu?
I haven't been to Mexico, but i have a couple of the symptons of the Swine flu. I live in London, so i have a risk. The symptons i have are
Sneezing, coughing, runny nose sometimes, tiredness, heavy head feeling, chills sometimes headache for a about 10 seconds sometimes, and sometime aches in my legs and my arms.
I'm really scared and only 14, what should i do, i am also not at school today because i dont feel well, someone help. My mum keeps on saying to me dont be ridiculous you dont have swine flu but i dont know :S
I am 56 F. Should i start using the surgeons mask from chennai airport or after i reach Brussels or in NY ? Should i use it throught the flight. If i feel uncomfortable with the mask - where and when can i remove to get some relief from the discomfort ? Is the mask required only in places where there is a congregation of people ?
Ughh im freaking out. I live in Seattle, and my mom just got over a cold, and now i have a little cough, tired, feel like i have a fever, but i dont. is this H1N1?
My partner has to go to a work conference in an office where there has been a swine flu case. He is hoping that it will cancelled on account of this, however if it isn't, what is the best way for him to protect himself against sickness? He is in very good health, but I want to put my own mind at rest. Thank you.
Guys the swine flu seems to be getting worse
and there have been reports on underground news stations that people that are getting infected are having this "zombie" like behavior
they act violent and start doing bad homostaphil things
what should we do
I keep hearing radio spots about pandemic flu. Is avian flu that serious a threat? Does your community have a plan?
I know the swine is much worse.
but the common Flu, just like the cold, always has people that get infected worse than others.
so is there an actual biological mircobial (just throwing big words out there) difference between the two? or is it just an uber bad case?
I think it's inadvisable to get pregnant at this moment of global economic uncertainty and overpopulation. But if that isn't going to stop you, swine flu shouldn't either. There's always some kind of infectious disease going around to strike fear in the hearts of the timid, whether it's SARS or HIV or swine flu or MRSA or hemorrhagic fever or... well, you get the idea.
Seriously?
Thousands of people die from the normal flu every year, yet last time i heard only 7 people have died from the swine flu. This number may have increased since i last watched the news.
It sounds like the media have found something new to talk about instead of the recession.
I think that by scaring everybody with the swine flu epidemic, the "people in charge" hope that we go out and buy tami flu, face masks etc. Which will stimulate the economy.
Hyperthetically of course.
Good answers would be appreciated, top answer gets 10 points.
Maybe classes of people women children , etc...
Thx
I reckon it is. 137 people have actually died from Swine Flu all over the world. 4 times that amount of people did on Australian roads each year. I think things like the Economic crisis or Global warming a more important.
With no vaccine in site, wouldn't it be BETTER for most of us (who are healthy) to catch the H1N1 virus now? That way IF this outbreak follows the pattern of the flu outbreak in 1918, those who got the mild sickness now would be immune from the second, stronger wave later - which did most of the killing?

Both are considered outbreaks of a disease. but a pandemic is worldwide, epidemic tends to be a localized area.
Isn't Swine flu in China still going on? I heard Hong Kong was infected by a Mexican with Swine flu. I am planning to return to Hong Kong but I need to make sure all the Mexicans there have been deported or quarantined. I don't want to get Swine flu.
it will be PANDEMIC
I heard this current virus is following the same pattern which has got the virus researchers very concerned.
Talk of the swine flu turning into an epidemic has gotten a lot of attention and a few people that I've spoken to seem a little worried. Do you think some people, media included, are blowing this way out of proportion, or do you think everyone should be concerned?
There have been about 3 influenza pandemics in each century for the last 300 years, the most recent ones were the Asian Flu in 1957 and the Hong Kong Flu in 1968.
Google them!
If your planing to go to any concerts and now that the Swine Flu is here are you still going to go? Like with all the people that you don't know smashed together and the risk of getting it.
My friend has it and he is terrible pain. I want to insure him that it won't happen again. But, I do not want to lie so please answer my question.
Compared to other outbreaks of diseases, I think that Mexico acted rather quickly in reporting to world nations even if they were unable to contain it effectively.
Well,I live in Asia :)
It seem that Swine Flu have got better in the western side but worsen in the Asia side. So I am wondering if you do know..
is it true that old people and young children are the ones who will get swine flu easily? while the working adults and teenagers will less likely be affected by swine flu?
lastly, if someone does get swine flu.. what are the possibilities of surviving it?
I know last month it was all over the news, but on my local news they have stopped talking about. i don't thinkk it will be as serious as people are saying but you have to prepare for the worst!
Tell me what you think!
Ok may be not swine flu but why do they not just stay at home instead of spreading it to us
Can flowers spread the flu? Please leave answers as quick as possible because i want to give flowers to my mom on mothers day (WHICH IS TODAY!!! NOOOO!!!) I take all answers seriously. Thanks
just wondering what it would take for swine flu to go to level six
and what would happen if it does?
complete info. please!
bush administrations prepares for the worst case scenerio of 2 million dying. What would you do to prepare?
its just an EXAGGERATED news ...h1n1 is a sissy virus,...compared to ebola reston which infected hog breeders in bulacan....in the philippines ,the slaughterhouses are so filthy,,,a POZO ***** is much more cleaner than a regular slaughter house....filipino's consume double dead meat bcoz it is 5 peso cheaper than a regular meat...my own kind live's on garbage landfills, we eat Fastfood leftovers, we recycle expired ma ling,
I know this seems like a strange question and I assure you, I'm not a total hypochondriac but I was just watching TV and saw all of the adults in Mexico walking around in surgical masks and wondered what they are using on the babies, infants and toddlers? I have an 11 month old and I know for sure she wouldn't tolerate anything being on her face.
Also, even though they have said that pork is safe to eat still, will any of you be eliminating your families diet?
Ok, so I'm freaking out right now. I really don't want to do because of the swine flu and I'm just wondering is it lethal in the US?

It's for the title of a story, and just want something on a galactic level.
Oh no!!!! They said PANDEMIC!!!! The media is trying to take our attention away from the fact the Obama's plans are only putting much much further in the hole. No worries Obama...the medias got yo back dog (just trying out my gangsta slang).

do you agree with this or do you think its ridiculous?

I mean come on, look at this maphttp://www.swineflu2009.com/
its EVERYWHERE.
I know its curable & you shouldn't panic cause its just like the flu, but do you think basically everyone will get this disease?
And do you think in 2 weeks schools will start closing because of this disease? Like all around the country?
What do you think is gonna happen in the future with the swine flu?
I personally think it'll spread (throughout the years) to Canada and every where else and eventually everyone will die. Sorry for sounding so morbid, but it's like the black plague except it's already spreading.
What do you think?

An epidemic is within a confined region and a pandemic is global.
okay Ive been hearing that adults are more vulnerable to swine flu than kids, can i have some answers?
I hope not. Be a good chance to get rid of a large group of idiots!
Just seems like so much time and energy was put into something that never transpired as smoke and mirrors of our government instead of dealing with things of more importance
i am going 2 mexico this summer & im a Little scared about the swine flu. does anyone know if it cooled down
Epidemic, Endemic and Pandemic are three cases of spread of diseases. All have something in common and yet are different from each other.
When a particular disease spreads within a small group of people say for example an attack of malaria in a group of people its known as endemic.
Some times hereditary or disease with the family are also termed as Endemic diseases.
An example of an epidemic is plague. Plague was an epidemic which spread throughout the country in various times in the world. Thus, Epidemic is the outbreak of some disease on a very large scale.
When diseases are spread throughout the globe with no connectivity in places, its known as a Pandemic. For instance, AIDS is a disease which is affecting many people in the world. There are HIV patients in many parts of the world which are not even close to each other. Unlike and epidemic, pandemic diseases do not affect the immediate person necessarily.
For a better understanding, it can be stated that an Endemic disease is one which affects a group of people say a family or a small village.
An Epidemic is a disease which spreads in the city/state.
A Pandemic disease is that which spreads in the whole country.
(Ofcourse do not consider the exact boundaries here. It just refers to the number of people.)
I had this in my last year's syllabus.
So kind of a revision for me.
Hope i was clear to you and was of help.
Cheers!

With now outbrakes in the United Kingdom, this disease is starting to really catch peoples attention. It's spreading fast and we have no cure and scientists are really letting alot of information out yet.
My question is what do you think the conseqences of swine flu will be?. This maybe a little early to speculate but with recent outbrakes I think we can have a decent prediction. No silly answers please anybody that does is very immature.
Over to you!
pigs?
err you need to reword this question
Why the overreaction by the WHO? Why would US states declare a state of emergency and close schools for such a mild illness?
Is this about health, or about state governments getting a check they don't really need?
A little bit worried about swine flu as I am going on Holiday to Spain next week.
I need help!!!
I am supposed to be traveling with my 9 month old son to visit my mom/sis in NJ end of this month. Not too sure if it is safe with the Swine Flu scare. Everyone in the US has told me not to worry and just travel. But i am worried ... shouldn't i be?
will things close like airports ammusement parks ect?
There have only been a few reported cases in the US. The symptoms don't seem VERY serious, but of course, they can be. What's so bad about the swine flu?
I just got a brochure at school today about how in 3 months there will be a long wave of of it and we'll be without vaccine for 6 months after it begins. Supposedly will be as bad as in 1918. There'll be school closures and an order to stay home for certain time. Need to be stocked up on supplies for AT LEAST 2 weeks. It's scary!
according to harrison also.....it has transmission in 103 countries affecting more than 1 billion people and causing between 1 to 3 million deaths each year....then also not considered pandemic ....why?
What is the best defense for swine flu. Is there a web site that anyone recommends that the government host. Is there a good forum you could recommend as well
Or, do they have it "just right"??
Hi, I am really worried about swine flu and I can't get Tamiflu anywhere so I was wondering if I exposed myself to it now, would my body build up the antibodies so I'd be immune when the global pandemic really kicks off? I read that it won't really happen till November but I am really worried and I'd like to be prepared.
Officials are planning to use volunteers (who would be given training) to help care for patients during a flu pandemic when there is person to person transmission.
Right now the fatality rate is over 60% worldwide and 85% in Indonesia.
We won't have a vaccine for 6 to 9 months into a pandemic and antiviral drugs will be in short supply.
Would you be willing to help take care of patients during a pandemic?

There was a news conference where the Secretary of Homeland Security who is not a doctor, answered questions on the swine flu. Why are they involved in handling it?
or do many people believe that, and it's not really proven...?

please help me.. i need it today
Why, shame on you! That man is absolutely exhausted from grovelling to the leaders of countries who hate us and plot our downfall. Do you think it's easy to be obsequious? Huh? Do you think begging for approval is something he ENJOYS?
For gods' sake - let the man have a day of rest, why don't you!
I'm not actually planning on CONTRACTING it. I was just wondering, if I told my boss I didn't feel well, and I thought I had swine flu (so I could do something a lot more interesting than WORK on a given night), how many times I could use that excuse. Four days? Five?
How long before he catches on that I really feel fine...I just don't want to work?
How do people get treated for it?
I live in texas and i was planning on watching a concert in Odessa, but i'm not sure if i should go or not due all the news about the swine flu. There will probably be around 300 people their, and i will be in close contact with them if i go. What do you think??

Just recently my brothers and sisters are having fears of the swine flu and they are afraid of going back to school they are scared because they can get the flu like disease called the swine flu.
Is there a way for my brothers and sisters as well as niece and nephews to protect themselves during school hours since there's a chance of an outbreak otherwise the best thing i can think of is not sending them to school until i make sure its been contain.
A(H1N1) virus
lol cute, did your daddy tell you that gays were bad?
I was wondering how many people so far have died of the swine flu because everytime I check on wikipedia they havent updated it.
The swine flu has already reached level 6 and it's officially a pandemic. My question is, how will they stop it from spreading even more?
H1 they would both have the same haemagglutinin (type 1)...whereas the neuraminidase would be different (type 1 for H1N1 and type 5 for H1N5). Both of these viruses are the same virus but they just have different antigenic determinants in the case of the neuraminidase.
It's essentially because there are varying opinions of the disease. Health care professionals and their respective organizations, will almost always take a more negative approach to things. For example, the WHO (World Health Organization) has determined this to be a level 5 pandemic on a scale of one to six. The main reason that the disease is not being taken seriously across the board is due to the fact that many people simply view it as a flu. In reality, it is a combination of Swine Flu, Avian (Bird) Flu and Conventional Flu. This is where the lethality comes into play because humans have never been exposed to such a disease.
The reason Avian Flu didn't turn into a pandemic was because it was unable to efficiently mutate to become communicable between people. However, this new form of Swine Flu IS communicable between humans.
Do you think this could be it? The end of the world, where the swine flu will continue to spread throughout the world, killing the majority, if not all the population?
how many countries are infected with swine flu?? and did it start in mexico?? what country has the most deaths and infected?? in asia what are also infected?? tnx!
Scientists say we are long overdue for an incredibly widespread flu virus to hit - are there enough medical supplies to get us through such a disaster?
We plan on visitng Singapore next week, and I'm curious. Is it safe to visit? Any advice?
We plan on staying for 3 days and 2 nights, a city tour, and a trip to Sentosa.
We were also planning on visiting Hong Kong, but my dad made a decision not to go there after seeing the news about the Hong Kong Swine Flu "victims"
follow up question: How about Hong Kong? is it safe there? or should we avoid going there?
I don't know but i heard if you have a cold or cough or something like that it could be a swine flu. I live in Canada and i don't know if i might have it because i have a cold and its been 2 days now, one of the side of my nose is blocked so i can only breathe with the other and its really runny sometimes. Help!
Pandemic, I Don't Know All of Them, Actual HUMAN Diseases, AIDS, HCV, HSV, HPV, HAV, for Some of the Viruses, But Bacterial Diseases, Parasitic Diseases and Fungal Diseases, Look to Be Major, But Not Necessarily Pandemic.
I have a friend who has the swine flu. We live in America. How severe is it?
Will the Swine Flu be as big as the plague pandemic?
what do you think?
If you look up the history of Swine flu , it has been around for about 50 years or so. And some of the outbreaks originated in the United States. I guess Americans are the cleanest people in the world. We don't have a gang problem, corruption, bad economics, diseases, college student running around doing inappropriate behavior. I'm glad to be American, but we can just put the blame on other countries all the time.
Do schools, businesses, and other places temporarily shut down? Are we given surgical masks like in Mexico? What will the effects be when I level 6 is announced?..because something tells me it's only days away...
There are now 22 cases of swine flu in Australia. People are being isolated and going into quarantine but no one has died so I'm wondering what makes it more dangerous than the regular flu as people are recoving from it?
knowing the strength of the HHS secretary, the Surgeon General giving sound advise, and a full treasury group figuring how to pay for the immunizations. And having the boarder wide open should produce excellent results if you want to kill the poor.
When do the adults show up and get this under control. Was the messiah playing golf today?
Or what is the specific infection that causes Swine Flu?
What are the chances that Disneyland and Magic Mountain will close because of Swine Flu?On May 9th? If it gets worse will the school still let us go?Or will they close the parks?What are your thoughts?
and sorry this is in the wrong category!
detention camp, what would you do?
Worldwide, in South east Asia and in the Philippines, separately. And the source please. Thanks.
detention camp, what would you do?
It seems like the swine flu is such a minuscule thing. There's such a small number of cases, and it's not much different than the regular flu. But the fear that's been placed in the public's attention is so powerful.
What has the government done in the past week that they might be trying to cover up?
Okay, so I want your opinions on when you think they'll be a cure for swine flu, and if so; what do you think it will be? If not, why? Also, do you think it will spread around the world?
It's pretty scary to think how many people could die because of mans ability to travel so easily these days!. The last big one killed millions without this factor
Since it has not been found in any Swine to date.
Initially we planned to take our kids there during this summer, but that has gotta be canceled.
It's pretty crazy how this swine flu rapidly grew in the course of a couple of weeks, and on top of that we only have little info about it. Is it well a naturel threat though pigs or could it possibly be more, a bio attack?
I search A/H1N1 In the US sites and still have no clue what it means even though i researched it in the Us And got results.........
Will the prophecies of Nostradamus and others be right? They said that before the end we would experience pandemics, wars, and famine. To me this is just one more coincidence to tie in with 2012.
While watching the news of the swine flu they are saying that the 20 cases that had the swine flu were mild and they all recover but the people of mexico are drying. Could it be because they said that they had no contract with pigs
I'm wondering if there is a plan in place to stop air, ship and rail travel, should the WHO declare a level 6. If I travel somewhere far, is there a possibility of getting stuck there, short of walking home?
and why are illegals from mexico getting health care at taxpayers expense in california and other states?
It stands for Hemagglutinin and Neuraminidase. The Hemagglutinin is the neutron standing in the place of the typical M1. The Neuraminidase is another Neutron which in habitually instabilities your nervous system.
In short: Hemagglutinin and Neuraminidase
and why are illegals from mexico getting health care at taxpayers expense in california and other states?
Why is it that after 90 people get the swine flu, everyone wants to wear a face mask. Millions get AIDS & STIs and nobody wants to wear a condom.
Searched a few web sites but didn't come up with much. I would say it effected the way they handled their imports like everywhere else in the world, they had to control the rats and fleas that were the carriers.
We will not frighten or scare of swine flu but we should take adequate precautionary measure:
• Cover our nose and mouth with a tissue when we cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after we use it.
• Wash our hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective.
• We will avoid touching our eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.
• H1N1 is thought to spread mainly person-to-person through coughing or sneezing of infected people. If we get sick, CDC recommends that we stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.
• Early detection and treatment are key to stopping any outbreak of influenza / H1N1 / swine flu. WHO guidance calls for isolating the sick and blanketing everyone around them with antiviral drugs and symptom relief medicines such as Tamiflu.
We should follow our routine health and hygiene measures, encourage our kids to wash their hands well, and encourage them when they’re sneezing or coughing to cover up and prevent others from getting contact.

3rd Pandemic: mainly in Asia, but all continents affected (1850s-1959)
The initial outbreak of the third pandemic was in China's Yunnan Province in the 1850's. The disease was stable within the province, but was spread due to a Moslem rebellion which resulted in population disruption. Refugees from the conflict moved south, into regions of China with larger populations. The plague went with them, producing an increasing number of casualties. In the city of Canton, beginning in March 1894, the disease killed 60,000 people in just a few weeks. Daily water traffic with the near by city of Hong Kong rapidly spread the plague. Within two months, after 100,000 deaths, the death rates dropped below epidemic rates, although the disease continued to be endemic in Hong Kong until 1929.
Casualty patterns indicate that waves of this pandemic may have been from two different sources. The first was primarily bubonic and was carried around the world through ocean-going trade, transporting infected persons, rats, and cargos harboring fleas. The second, more virulent strain was primarily pneumonic in character, with a strong person-to-person contagion. This strain was largely confined to Asia, particularly Manchuria and Mongolia. Researchers during the "Third Pandemic" identified plague vectors and the plague bacillus, leading in time to modern treatment methods.
With the bubonic plague spreading to all inhabited continents, it ultimately killed more than 12 million people in India and China alone. The network of global shipping ensured the widespread distribution of the disease over the next few decades. Recorded outbreaks include:
19th Century 20th Century
* Pakhoi, China 1882.
* Canton, China 1894.
* Hong Kong, China 1894.
* Formosa (Taiwan), China 1896.
* Bombay, India 1896-1898.
* Calcutta, India 1898.
* Madagascar, 1898.
* Egypt, 1899.
* Manchuria, China 1899.
* Paraguay, 1899.
* South Africa, 1899-1902.
* Hawaii, United States, 1899.
* San Francisco, United States, 1899.http://www.istrianet.org/istria/medicine...
The number of months is not given in the reference I found but the year was 1899 and because the vector and cause of the pandemic was known at this time, it was stopped within months of arrival.
Okay im really worried about the Swine Flu.

There has been a (so far small) outbreak of the swine flu virus in the Brisbane, Gold Coast region of Australia. As a concerned citizen of this beautiful area, I would like to know how to avoid catching it, and what local authorities are doing to prevent it from spreading further...
It now appears that Influenza A (H1N1) can now be passed from humans to pigs - as apparently has happened in Canada. There are a few reports around that point to Bird Flu (H5N1) infecting pig populations without causing the pigs to exhibit any obvious symptoms.
I'm wondering two things here: 1. Has influenza passed from Humans to Pigs easily in the past and 2. What are the chances of the new influenza A (H1N1) and bird flu (H5N1) combining in a pig and creating something new?
You should try to get Madagascar first.. :)
Cause they close their shipyards very soon...
Oh!And you should use err... Can't remember which it is but.
But when you choose your kind disease choose the one in the middle.
And at the bottom of the right hand corner, go to the third circle. There should be three. And try to get diseases that aren't that noticable.
im a senior currently and was planning on going to a language learning school in Cuernavaca, Mexico this June to improve my spanish...

Also, my dad was just in Cuernavaca about 5 weeks ago, is there a chance he could still get symptoms or is the virus much more recent?

Will they make Anderson Cooper wear a surgical mask and "keep them honest?"
Look at most polls around, and most people aren't falling for the swine flu scare. The media is pushing it hard though. It's sad, because you can tell it's one big sell.
I'm planning on going to Disney World later this month and I know the swine flu is still spreading a lot and even there are some cases in Florida of the swine flu. Disney World is always filled with millions of people and lots of people go there at the same time. There's a lot of kids there and some schools are closed and I guess it had to do with how kids don't always take care of themselves properly. Well you know many kids go to Disney World. Should I be worried about getting the swine flu if I go there later this month?
No. It's still in development.
When was the last time and what was the cause?
Any sites?
So if the current Swine Flu pandemic and the current Meningitis epidemic mutate and become one new disease, can we humanoids stop it or is that the end of humankind? Even though it is not the year 2012 when everyone believes now that the end of the world will come, is this the beginning of the end?
He did put something in our drinking water to lower our IQ's before he was elected. It's the only way he could have won. The swine flu would get him his second term.
I'm going to China in 1 week, and I have been hearing stuff from my family that live there about foreigners being quarantined because of fear of the swine flu spreading. Does anyone know any details on this? And If I go, will I be quarantined no matter what, or only if symptoms show?

i need to get a high score, but i dont really know how to play
I heard it started from pigs and spread it's way to humans, but then today I heard some other theories about Korea creating the swine flu then spreading on purpose in America, what theory is true? Does anybody actually know?
It would appear that the libs are now slamming Republicans for "cutting" budget money that was designated for flu research....gimme a break!
I've been sick recently, and I have reading up on the symptoms of Swine flu. I do have some of the symptoms and I wasn't worried until I read that a women in San Diego County came down with it. I live near that area and I began to search how u can catch the swine flu.
I was unsuccessful in my search. I already knew that it was safe eating pork, but i still need to know how it is passed on, such as person to person , threw bodily fluids , threw the air.
Got my vote.
Is it going to spread like wild fire?
I can infect EVERY other country except Madagascar which I know alot of people have trouble with. Does anyone know exactly how to infect it? Or is it really just luck of a ship going there?
This is for a class project. i don't care how many people have died in 2009. I've been trying to find out in an average year, with out any pandemics or anything like that, how many people die from swine flu?
The statue of Edgar Hernandez is located in the central park of La Gloria, a pig-farming village in the mountains where some people claimed the virus originated due to the big pig ranch in the town.
Although many town residents had become ill, it was 5 year old Edgar Hernandez who became the first person diagnosed with the illness and survived after taking antibiotics. The statue will be a symbol of hope for all those that become ill from the virus.
everyone is saying that we would have to stay in our homes but i doubt that so what would happen??and would we get oober cool mouth mask things??
How are the meanings diffrent?
What is the process?
What are the symptoms of swine flu?
countries into closing borders, causing furthering constriction of world economies.
Who says cases are popping up with unknown exposes and is spreading uncontrollable in areas. Also killing otherwise healthy young adults (19 to 40 range).
Do you believe Obama's administration compentently.
I just hear almost everywhere I go "Swine flu! 100 people dead in mexico! Several infected in US!" I mean, I know it could possibly become a worldwide plague, but it's not that likely. But I would just like to know, what do you think about this whole swine flu 'epidemic'? Do you think it'll actually become a plague, or are people making a big deal about it?
Many countries have banned imports on pork. BUT, many countries have slaughtered pigs because of this.
So my question is, did the swine flu have a positive or negative effect on pigs?
do you think a significant whipout of the worlds population is the best chance to save this planet from human destruction, polution, so on and so on? sad but i think it is....and if u believe it to be true ..what percentage of people need to go? i think about 60% at least...just me.
Why isn't Obama stretching forth his mighty hand and healing us all. cough cough.
LOL yes. But they dont want the pig industry to suffer.

An avian flue is not a new disease in the world. It is a zooneses that has re-emerge after being present in the world over several decades. But now all the world attention has been turned towards it as something very strange and a lot of money is invested in trying to find the effective vaccine, and probably later a vaccine will be developed and put in the market and all people will be required to be vaccinated as a measure to combart this disease.But what happened before, what is happening now without such a vaccine?
The disease was just an epidemic (to human beings) in certain parts of china and later to some few countries in asia. What about other parts of the world? In europe, africa and america has remain to be disease of birds and are the only one reported dead in these areas. So what do you think?
