Level 5

This is how they are going to get us Raise alert level to 5 Say Pandemic is Imminent Get americans scared, give us vaccine ?????????? Profit

 

[kicktionair]

So are more people dying or are health leaders and news broadcasting just blowing this thing into a giant bubble.

If they are still uping the alert level or whatever is it because more and more people are dying or is this just pure hype.

smh if they are just gettin out of hand with this

 

[shannonscrooks]

I cant believe that of all the things I have done or taken in my life that should have killed me, a bird or a pig is going to take me out.

I hope every who dies from the swine flu comes back as zombies.

 

[btonnt]

is it just me or are neither the journalists nor the WHO providing any details or reasonings as to what exactly is causingthem to raise the "threat level" and declare an imminent pandemic? where is the "why" in all of the reporting? ...Im gonna keep lookingaround. but it seems they should have an immediate reason when they broadcast something like this. or are we all just that dumbed down that we don'trequire reasons and valid explanation anymore?

 

[wanksta23]

hype

I go to St. John's
just got this email

[font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]We were recently notified of one undergraduate commuter student on the Queens Campus who has contracted the Swine Flu (A/H1N1) virus. The student was treated and has recovered at this time. Although the period of confinement in this case has passed, we are making every effort to notify those with whom the student has been in contact and advised them to seek medical attention if symptoms are evident.[/font][/font]

[font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]

I'm watching..... "All of humanity under threat under pandemic" , "heightened surveillance" mentioned...

maintain a healthy skepticism still. let's not buy into everything presented to us or thrown at us.

Thing is, it really is spreading..unlike the bird flu or SARS. What I want to know is how are the people being treated? What are they using?

I just watched a video that stated the Spanish Flu mutated because some of the people who contracted it on the army bases in Spain where exposed to toxicchemicals which caused it to mutate. I wonder..

 

[nktran001]

Another update: A school around my way is being shutdown due to a "flu". They want to clear out the illness, and make sure it's not the"Swine Flu".

My goodness, I'm gon' go buy a mask tomorrow.
