Swine Flu is a joke!!!!?

March 22nd, 2010 6 comments

ive been reading articles and this entire thing is rediculous. people are making a huge deal of this "deadly" and "new" disease. Ive googled and looked at articles and people are saying this is so much worse than the bird flu people are already actually dying. I dont think thats the case. To me, Swine flu is a joke. 159 people have died in mexico? yeah sure but if this flu gives you a fever and its hot down there, with no money for doctors and live in packed areas with roads of dirt, then yeah, theyll probly die from the fever and the added heat since the body needs to be a certain temperature in order to survive. The media is playing a big role in this to make everyone perceive that its a big deal. What is it, one death in the united states? oh everyones worried now! it was a baby, and if you were smart, youd know they dont have the best immune systems. From the articles and blogs ive read, people are freaking out about it, and its rediculous because the only thing they know about is whats shown on the news. Heres a fact, around 6000 people alone in the U.S die from a "regular" flu. So whats the big deal with swine flu huh? there is none. The media makes it bigger than it is, people only care when its on the news. Same thing with shark attacks a few years ago. People were making a huge deal about there being so many shark attacks, well turns out it was the lowest recording of shark attacks in a year ever. So everyone stop thinking this is some serious and special influenza. its nothing special. You should still try to be sanitary, cuz no one likes a flu.
ok no vaccines no cure, theres no cure for a regular flu either, go ahead get a flu shot, doesnt mean you arent going to get it.

Yeah, nothing says "I am an idiot who does not have critical thinking skills" better than walking around in a surgical mask in fear of a flu virus.

ALL flu virus’s kill some people.
39000 each year in the U.S. alone.
This particular strain has shown far less severe effects than the standard annual flu strains that we deal with every year.

When you see the brain dead, indoctrinated buffoons worry about this it is not hard to see how we got saddled with our current president.

What happened to the bodies of 1918 Influenza victims?

During some research for family genealogy, I came across a little confusion about the flu epidemic of 1918. My great grandfather was drafted to WWI and reported to Fort Riley, Kansas in sept of 1918, by Oct 15 he was dead. Now no one knows where his body is and there was no death certificate issued. His death just kind of become a common knowledge thing but with no actual proof. Where bodies just disposed of with no record of who had died, like in a big burn ditch? Where could I look to find some hard copy proof? I’ve been to Kansas dept of vitals with no luck either. Thanks in advance!

That is an interesting question. I gave a link that has lots of information regarding the epidemic. It was also postulated that the folks didn’t die of the flu, but the cytokine storm that was invoked by the virus, because generally healthy young adults were among the most that ended up dieing. The very young and very old were spared, mostly because their immune systems were slow to react as opposed to those healthy younger adults. Good luck with your search.
