scary yet, the sickness effects 15-17 year olds the most <_< >_>
maybe the swine flu is really a Zombie Virus @_@
anybody read Day by Day Armageddon ?
I thought H1A1 effected the young and elderly the worst, not teens.
The news is definately stretching the truth. THe other day they said like 15 people DIED, hgere in Jersey, when no one has.
The swine flue isnt serious at all, not more then the normal flu, thats for sure. Its just a varient strand mutated from the normal flu that couldnt deal with the vaccinations. Thats pretty much it, its literally caused by vaccinations, which is why you shouldnt get them. Vaccinations cause immunities, which cause many viral mutations, which leads to vaccinating many viruses...and the circle continues.
People are overracting. At work people are wearing gloves and facemasks...and they cant really understand that its airborne and the virus is small enough to flow through the masks. Both 'protections' will not be much of a help. Also, produce hasnt been selling at all; are people really that worried?
This flu will kill off the weak and stupid, thus leaving the strong & smart ones alive. Naturalisation unfortunately.

I totally agree with you on that. The news media just failed at reporting this and I think that's what cause everyone to freak, at least the U.S. news media did. They reported that over 150 people in Mexico died when this all started. It was later know that the real death toll was only around 7, but I think the previous number is what cause people to freak so much. A have also seen a few other countries overreacting probably because they got similar false reports.

Actually, it does affect teens the most.
I think the main reason they're worried about it is because it's a new virus. They don't know as much about it as they know about other things, so they just want to be careful.
(Notice the lack of an antecedent. I'm not quite sure who "they" is. Big, important, rich scientists?)
Eight schools closed in Utah. My freind just visited someone who came back from a Mexico vacation, and I'm starting to get the flu.

250? False. There are over 900 confirmed cases and over 5000 suspected cases, though the chances are that less than 1000 of those 5000 will actually end up having it, and 90-95% of those cases will be mild.
About 250 the night before I wrote that, Ciph. These things do change.
Anyway, c'mon, the regular flu kills at least hundreds of people each year in the USA alone. This? This is nothing.
