Don't people die every single year from the flu? Don't people get the flu all the time? Why is this such a big deal? Is it because it is everywhere now? Or is it that here in the USA, no one got a swine flu shot. Yes I see it as bad, but not any worse then any other year of the flu. Maybe I'm missing something, but sometimes I think the media just likes to sensationalize things and this is an opportunity to shake things up and have the world worried and afraid. What are your thoughts on this swine flu?
Not to sound paranoid, but there are a few odd things about this virus that are emerging. The most alarming is that it appears to have genetic material from avian flu, human flu, and swine flu. Since flu viruses do not exchange genetic material during their reproductive cycle, how could this be a natural phenomenon?
A pandemic is a global disease outbreak, a flu pandemic occurs when a new influenza virus emerges for which people have little or no immunity too and their is no vaccine for it Yet! Spreads hard and fast among people on the planet There is concern for the H5N1 (bird Flu) this can be a huge threat to humans as well as other animals as well as the birds here on earth.This is very virulent, and spread by many birds that migrate. this could one day be spread from human to humans if it continues to evolve.This is caused by a virus among birds with different subtypes just like the human flu changes every year same goes for the bird flu changes Each combo represents a different subtype.
Flu is a viral infection people over use the flu for many reasons but its only for A B type viruses but this also changes each year so its best to get the flu shot shot and hope this works to stop all the symptoms.This can also lead to ear infections, sinus infections, or bronchitis, and in rare cases some pneumonia.

I am really freaked out that it's going to come to Washington. Someone threw up the other day, and everyone is coughing like nuts, it's really freaking me out, I don't like going to school because this guy keeps coughing on me on purpose and I am really scared as helllll from catching the swine flu.
What are the symptons that let you know if you have it?

OK so is this whole "swine flu pandemic" going to tunr into some i am legend crap? because its all over the news,internet,youtube...etc is it really that serious to be worried so much about it i just think it is the plain old flu because it has the same symptoms wats the difference? oh and i heard it came from chinese people that live in mexico because of ther pigs or something like that? is it true?
Yes badly. And according to the Wall Street Journal there is likely more pain on the way.
The full article is below but here are a few main points:
"Foreign visitors may generate $4 billion less in revenue this year than the $13 billion last year, says Tourism Minister Rodolfo Elizondo. The travel industry...employs 2 million."
"Hotels in the resort town of Cancún are running at 29% occupancy during May compared to the usual average 74%"
"Mexico isn't going to be a basket case like Argentina or Venezuela, but it's not going to rebound from this crisis like Brazil, China or India either. That could mean years of sub-par growth,"

Epidemic: An outbreak of disease that attacks many peoples at about the same time and may spread through one or several communities.
Pandemic: When an epidemic spreads throughout the world
Endemic: a disease that exists permanently in a particular region or population. Malaria is a constant worry in parts of Africa.

Your temperature checked even before you reach the Immigration counter, where you will be asked which part of the US you are from and whether ou have been to known infected areas in the past two weeks, and be advised what to do (for your own good) if you have a temperature .(Malaysia's doctors are just as good, if not better, than their Western counterprts, since they are mostly trained in institutions attended by Western doctors....)
A pandemic is global and is infectous, epidemic is based more in a certain population (i.e. Bubonic plague was pandemic, while Depression is an epidemic)
According to the World Health Organization, a pandemic can start when three conditions have been met:
* the emergence of a disease new to the population
* the agent infects humans, causing serious illness
* the agent spreads easily and sustainably among humans
A disease or condition is not a pandemic merely because it is widespread or kills a large number of people; it must also be infectious. For example cancer is responsible for a large number of deaths but is not considered a pandemic because the disease is not infectious.

I have two root cellars in separate rooms with concrete walls off to the sides of my main cellar. I was thinking about preparing one of them in case of an emergency situation like a pandemic or other catastrophic event where my infant daughter and I would be stuck inside my basement for some time. Neither root cellar has any windows, just concrete walls and one currently has boards covering the dirt floor. I would very much appreciate the help and advice. Thanks!
Oh, and I live in CT, if that helps.

I know the swine flu gives the symptoms of sneezing, coughing and fever that a normal flu gives you. But I want to know what symptoms does the swine flu gives you besides those symptoms. Like a symptom that would let you know you have the swine flu.
I'm worried I might have it cause I I've had a runny nose and been coughing a lot for about a week. Also I just heard the swine flu came around close to where I live too. :(

Because swine flu is one of the top stories on every news media resource, many people who have normal flus or even colds, are going to the doctor's office or buying lots of medicines and drugs. What if it is a corporate and government sponsored media sensationalized rumor to try and help the boost the global economy?
How come everyone is freaking out about swine flu? I know its killed some people in Mexico but barely anyone in the US has gotten it and no one here has died. Why are people dying from it in Mexico but not in the US?
Also, what makes the swine flu a pandemic when there are plenty of other diseases that are spread throughout the world?

I live in Vancouver, BC, and I am going to Taiwan on June 26th, and coming back to Vancouver around August 20th. I am worried about the Swine flu, even though Taiwan hasn't have any people infected. I know this sounds stupid for some people, but I take this very seriously, because I don't want to get the Swine flu...
What are some ways I can prevent from not getting the Swine flu while on the plane? Is it safe to fly during the summer?

How the hell does this new swine flu have pig, bird, and human viruses combined? I like conspiracy theories, they are fun, so I'm gonna say I think the new Swine Flu was created somewhere in a lab. Either that or its the Apocalypse. Calm down people this is all just for fun. But I do really wonder how it got all three viruses. does anyone know?
Yes it did hurt..im not sure how much but it was noticeable. The clubs lost alot of revenue from when the stadiums were closed..and even when they could only have half full stadiums..alot of the revenue the teams make rely on ticket sales. Not only ticket sales..but concession stands...no one to buy from the concession stands..all this adds up, and im pretty sure the owners felt it in their pockets.
Ok, my friend hes a foregin exchange student. They are saying people are not alloud to cross the border. He lives in Kolen, Germany. Hes supposed to fly back on June 2nd? Will he not be able to go back then?
They are saying people cant cross the border because of swine Flu.
And there are people in his city in Germany with Swine Flu!!!! Btw we are in The USA.

there's no vaccine to either. people die from both. not everyone who has gotten swine flu has died. most people who have died from the disease lived in impoverished areas, were very young or very old and their bodies weren't strong enough to fight off the disease, didn't have enough money to take care of themselves properly, or had poor hygiene. Is there really much of a difference between the swine flu and the regular flu? Are people worrying too much over the swine flu?
I hate to burst your bubble about Tamiflu, but it isn't all its cracked up to be. They've been using it to treat Avian flu around the world & they've found out that strains of the virus are developing an immunity to it.
You can read about it here:http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2009...
There is a reason why they're calling this an international emergency. Unless they come to grips with this problem soon, we're in for a rocky ride.

The influenza pandemic of 1918-1919 killed more people than World War I at somewhere between 20 and 40 million people. More people died of influenza in a single year than in four-years of the Black Death Bubonic Plague from 1347 to 1351. Known as "Spanish Flu" or "La Grippe" the influenza of 1918-1919 was a global disaster.
As you plan, it is important to think about the challenges that you might face, particularly if a pandemic is severe. What social disruptions will occur? Will you continue to work or face a reduction or loss of income? What will happen to our children in school? How will you individually or as a family survive food/water wise if public transportation systems go down?
What are some of the possible ways to address these challenges and situations?

the cd drive opens and closes several times, like a human sneeze.
the processor overheats, just like a human fever.
the computer fan stops and starts causing inadequate ventilation, just like Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath in humans.
several pop up windows appear in succession - either you just visited a porn site or it's just like Confusion in humans.
NAH, i'm just messing with you. computers don't get this virus, humans do. So stay away from that pig farm in Mexico, anyone that appears sick and wash your hands.
Best Regards

I hear a rumor that there is a possibility Bush actually did something right? Obama said that the stockpiles of Tamiflu were the result of Democrats a few Republicans and the Bush Admin getting together in 2005 and passing Avian Flu preparedness measures. Now it is only a rumor, could it be true and Bush did something right? If so I guess we have to give credit where credit is due. Nowadays the Republicans are only good for NO.
I have all the symptoms besides fever, but I never get a fever, my temp is always below normal. I'm just afraid I will get more people sick if I go to the hospital because theres alot of people there who don't have it yet. My symptoms are livable, but thats probably because of all this vitamin C and anti viral i've been taking. and I don't go to school or work. My mom has it too, but so far my dad and sister and brother are fine.
Janet Napolitano Said Of A(h1n1) And Rory Emerald, "mass Hysteria Is
Inevitable." What Do You Think?
incredible, it is as if they think nothing is wrong with mass hysteria which btw has been caused by who, cdc, dhs and the media.
Hear this.
1.Every year MILLIONS of people die from Malaria or Dengue fever. Be more afraid of mosquitoes than people sneezing!
2. Every year hundreds of thousands of people die from (conventional) influenza.
3. Apart from Mexico, most of the people who have died after contracting H1N1 were already suffering from serious respiratory problems. People who have been in general good health have recovered fully in a few days.
4. Do NOT bother wearing a mask everywhere. Medical opinion is that this is an ineffective precaution.
There are millions of ways to die. Right now H1N1 appears to be an unlikely agent of your demise

An epidemic is a disease that affects many people at the same time, such as the flu. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's official definition of epidemic is: 'The occurrence of more cases of disease than expected in a given area or among a specific group of people over a particular period of time'. A pandemic is a very extensive epidemic, like a plague, that is prevalent in a country, continent, or the world. There is also the word endemic, which is a disease native to a people or region, which is regularly or constantly found among a people or specific region. The term outbreak describes the sudden rise in the incidence of a disease, especially a harmful one. An outbreak is characterized by a disease's bypassing of measures to control it. Often, the difference between these terms is determined by the percentage of deaths caused by the disease
My friend is going to Michigan on a plane and she's afraid she'll get the swine flu. Not only is she scared about being in the state, but being on the plane as well. What are the chances of her getting the Swine flu? Is there anything I can tell her to make her feel better or is she right to be worried?
Karl Rove, from his perch at the Wall Street Journal, criticized the inclusion of "$462 million for the Centers for Disease Control, and $900 million for pandemic flu preparations," on the grounds that "health care also added jobs" in the previous year. Such expenditures were, to Rove, "disturbing" and an example of President Obama's "lack of engagement and leadership."
What If A Worldwide Flu Pandemic Wipes Out All Human Life Before The
Rapture Has A Chance To Happen?
Won't the whole book of Revelation seem a bit redundant and unnecessary?
They've made it out to almost be a pandemic, or steps away from it. It just became big all of a sudden and is centrally located in Mexico, it hasn't been in the United States for that long either, just recently.
Also, what would you advice to me if I contracted the virus?
Would my chances of survival be good if I went to the hospital and got proper treatment quickly?
Thank you :]

Bill Maher made a good case on his show tonight. How can you explain Swine Flu unless your contention is that God or Jesus want to screw with Mexico and most of the world?
I suspect that some will say it's been foretold to be the end of days, except that this has been going on for a long time. There is a long history of these viruses doing stuff like this, even when it was not end of days.
So what gives?

I was wondering how long can the swine flu last in healthy adults around 20 before the symptoms subside? Once you get the swine flue is it true that you will be immune to this strain? Also currently I have a minor cough and minor aches but not unbearable needing a doctor. Do you think I have the swine flu in a moderate form? I have heard that drinking wine in moderation can prevent if not lessen symptoms of the flu.
Thanks for your help.
Thanks for your help.
I am so freaked about this new swine flu making its way around. I just read that a 23 month old Texan child just died today. I have a 25 month old child and one on the way! I am so so entirely scared. They wont be able to make a vaccine for several months and I am worried by then that it will of spread like wildfire and we wont be able to leave the house! What do you all think of this epidemic!?
The problem of HIV/AIDS of the poorest countries of the world, most essentially Africa, being the region that has the largest population infested, has continued to attract attention of development agencies that fear that the pandemic may continue to worsen poverty level and economic decline in which Africa is entrapped.
Giving these predicaments, who must be alive to their duties to put a check on the "immoral" conduct that has plagued our society.

a bird that had bird flu most likely crapped into some pig food on a farm, and a pig with swine flu ate the food with the virus in it and a mutation occured and a person with human flu was handling the pig with the mutated flu virus, he/she caught the virus from the pig and it mutated again into this crazy flu. its mainly human flu but has traces of bird and swine flu in it.
All this panic is pathetic!
Why is everyone getting all paranoid and worried over nothing?
You are more likely to die of regular flu, the government is trying to make things seem far worse then what they actually are as they have nothing else (other then the recession) to talk about, it's all just the media overly exaggerating... remember bird flu?
And I'm sick of people who "think" they have it. Honestly people get a grip, the world is not ending only seek real help if you actually need it. I have seen so many questions today on people who claim they have contracted the disease.

Okay, I know numerous questions are being asked about the swine flu, but hey I'm scared, alright? It's finally reached Philadelphia and I live in South Jersey. The flu is airbourne so there is a chance. |:
How could I protect myself from getting it? Is there nothing since it's airbourne, or can there be a way? I just don't want to catch it. Also, what are the symptons and what happens when infected?
THANK YOU.

The world is overcrowded and is not going to survive at this population level.
Do you think the world governments have manufactured Swine Flu as a way to reduce the population?
If not,
Why have they been planning for the swine flu for so long?
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/bsp/hi/pd...
Why was there an advertisement for sneezing and catching snot in tissues on UK tv just before the swine flu outbreak?
Why has the media gone so mad about the swine flu "pandemic"? Surely it just creates unnecessary panic.
Am I completely off track?

Is there any way I can prevent it? ANy other useful information relating the topic is welcomed. Oh yeah and my brother says hi. Thank you.
Who else thinks that people are being too paranoid about the swine flu? We just found out that all the people in NZ with confirmed "Swineflu" actually only had a strain of influenza. On the news we saw pictures and video's of the people who got the "swine flu" and they all seemed fine - hardly sick.
The swine flu broke up just before his travel to Mexico. The president met with a museum director in Mexico City who died a week later of pneumonia. The other thing is why relatives of those who died from from the swine flue did not catch the swine flue too? Even though they did not ware the masks. They were sleeping in the same bed and ate from the same plate with the victims and are still alive.

The two yahoo's were found on the yahoo homepage. My dad told me about it last night. And it was on the morning announcements at school today!
What if this turns into a major outbreak like the black plague or spanish influenza which is known to be a descendant of the swine flu!!!!

My 2 year old has allergy induced asthma and breathing issues. Whenever she gets any kind of cold or flu it's 3 times worse than it would be for another child. Within a day we have to start throwing every breathing treatment we can at her just to fight back. Worst case, if my child were ever to get the swine flu, would she be in serious trouble? Would she more likely become a serious case?

Swine Influenza (Flu)
From December 2005 through February 2009, a total of 12 human infections with swine influenza were reported from 10 states in the United States. Since March 2009, a number of confirmed human cases of a new strain of swine influenza A (H1N1) virus infection in California, Texas, and Mexico have been identified. An investigation into these cases is ongoing. For more information see Human Swine Flu Investigation.

Also, the number of infections keeps rising (So far 64 not counting the two new states Indiana and Florida), and our government continues to REFUSE to shut down US-Mexico borders, air travel, and trade. Also, Americans in infected areas continue to run around WITHOUT wearing surgical masks. We can feel assured that taking these simple steps can protect ourselves with no panic and fear.

Seasonal Flu (regular flu) infects millions of people every year. It's fair to say it's a common ailment, just like a cold.
Regular flu also kills thousands of people each year...
Of all the swine flu cases I heard about, most people are getting better, just like with a regular flu.
Of course if you're elderly or a newborn or an immunodeficient person, well, the flu might be harder to treat and may kill you, but that's not news!
Are we panicking over nothing?

The Centers for Disease Control says 30% to 50% of commercial U.S. swine have been infected with swine flu. As people are concerned about the current outbreak of swine flu in humans and potential for a deadly pandemic with this type and other types such as bird flu from chickens, what do you think about the role that massive factory farms play in the outbreak of these diseases?http://www.humanesociety.org/farm/news/o...http://www.grist.org/article/2009-04-25-...http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/pdf/brochure...
Will there be better relations between Canada, USA, and Mexico after this epidemic we are going thru? If it gets really bad, or even if it doesnt, the North American Union is working hard to get it under control. After working together, dont you think relations will get better?
And if the worst happens, and this epidemic does kill thousands, dont you think that this are might turn as free as the european union?

I'm busy writing an essay to apply to a trip to Southern Africa. It's on the HIV/AIDS pandemic and I'd really love to get some real news feed on it. I'd love it if people, could just let me know what their countries or areas are hearing and doing about the pandemic. Links to sights, book requests, magizines to check out, or just someone to chat with about it would be most appreciated.
I heard that its good to get the swine flu now, because it will come back as a more lethal form in the winter/flu-season, and people who had it now will have some immunity against it. SWINE FLU WILL MUTATE, PREPARE YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM BY GETTING THE HARMLESS SWINE FLU THATS OUT THERE RIGHT NOW.
you have been warned.
you have been warned.
It looks as though the flu pandemic will reach us sooner or later. What should we be doing? Do we need to start wearing masks? Is there anything we can eat or drink which will build up our immunity? Will it help if we get lots of sleep so our bodies aren't run down or will we just catch it regardless if we come into close contact with someone who is unknowingly spreading the disease.
Are you afraid for yourself or your children / babies? Check out the CDC website:http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/swineflu_you...
It's gives you all the information you need to be informed and not let yourself be scared by the media :)
Here is just a small paragraph from that website:
How serious is swine flu infection?
Like seasonal flu, swine flu in humans can vary in severity from mild to severe. Between 2005 until January 2009, 12 human cases of swine flu were detected in the U.S. with no deaths occurring.

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
Thanks
I know that food like pork meat doesn't initially contain the virus, but what if someone who was infected or had the flu bacteria on their fingers or something, and touched the food? Wouldn't the food then be contaminated? And then wouldn't you get infected if you ate it? My main concern is cafeteria food which is exposed to the lunch ladies and the rest of the school population. For now I stopped eating it. Thanks.
One case was just found here in MI a county away from me. I know no deaths were reported from it here in the US but I read its actually taking lives in Mexico. Im a little concerned..mostly for my 11 month old daughter....and it would suck if more cases started to pop up in my area because I work at a local hospital..how do you mommies feel?http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/
This is not Swine Flu.
It's a new strain created by humans, because human to human contact via swineflu betwee humans who haven't been around pigs is nearly impossible.
not to mention israel/new zealand/australia all have it in timely fashion.
the gov doesn't wnat to create chaos in society but this is not the swine flu, most likely terrorist related. disease beats military machine

I think there is a conspiracy going on by the government to not let us in on a pandemic outbreak of several viruses. The first one was the Adenovirus outbreak which is still going on and could be of a sometimes deadly strain. Then now there's something else out there, I don't know what it is but it involves coughing and fevers, might be a strain of the flu. Anybody else seeing people dropping like flies?
It's a proven fact that the Illuminati plans to reduce the earths population to under 500,000,000. There bird flu didn't work as well as they intended, is the swine flu the ext and possibly final generation of the virus they inted to use to cull the heard so to speak? Is there anything we can do about it?
Other than the spread of AIDS throughout the world, the last major easily communicable pandemic that spread through the world resulting in millions of deaths was the Spanish Flu in 1918.

I've heard that a human pandemic would only occur if a person with human influenza also contracted H5N1. Of course, with the spread of H5N1, the chances of a person with influenza also getting H5N1 are going up. I was thinking that if a pandemic were to occur, then I would move into the woods of Western PA until the pandemic lapsed. What other precautions could I take to avoid contracting a mutated human/bird flu during and spreading pandemic and afterwards?
The plan is to close schools and make kids and teens stay at home – no gathering at friend's homes or at the mall. How would your family cope? Do you have books and games at home for your kids?
The virus is killing 60% of the people who are infected, and kids spread flu more than adults. It is being spread from person to person occasionally. The fear is that the virus is mutating and it is acquiring the changes needed to pass easily from person to person. When that happens there will be a pandemic.
There will be no vaccine for 6 to 9 months after a pandemic begins. It takes that long to make a vaccine.

The CDC has already determined that Tamiflu and Relenza are effective treatment. Geez - go get some before the world supply is used up.http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/antiviral_sw...
There, I've done my good deed for the day. (yes, this might be a rant...but I dunno, you tell me...)
Poll: Bird Flu or Pig Flu?

Over spring break (April 4-April 9) I went to New York City. Cases of the swine flu are now being recognized in the city and I am experiencing symptoms of an upper respiratory infection. I'm scared I've been exposed. How long after exposure to swine flu do symptoms take to generate?
My symptoms include sore throat, nasal congestion, fever, and very mild coughing. I don't however have nausea or diarrhea, which is also stated as a symptom. Help! I'm scared. I live in Atlanta and I don't want to be the one who brings swine flu to Georgia.

I am a bit astounded that doctors in minor clinics in Nova Scotia can claim to have diagnosed swine flu in four high-school students. Are they using some form of test like the HIV western blot, or are they just looking at these people weezing and in light of the present hysteria, saying OH MY GOD! SWINE FLU!
I'm doing an essay for school, and I couldnt find what the most likely diseases to cause a global pandemic. So I was wodnering if anyone had any ideas?
I already know Influenza and Eblola, but it would still be nice to have a top 5 list. And I'll be mad if anyone says Anthrax, because that cannot cause a GLOBAL pandemic.

Since the CDC reports only 26 confirmed cases with 8 deaths in Mexico, that would be a mortality rate much higher than the H1N1 influenza outbreak of 1918, which killed tens of millions. Why are the mortality rates in Mexico so much higher than the rest of the world. Does anyone know what the actual mortality rate is?
