Haha, as soon as one of these people that has the virus, looses the virus, doctors can make pills.

So lets just hope there's a cure somewhere.

the goblin felt that much of what had been posted till now was valid, however his overall conjecture was that the authorities were playing their cards badly, in that, as pointed out before, this is not something nearly as deadly as SARS coronavirus, with its very high death rate, "...in fact, we are looking at something on par with normal influenza, nothing more than that it seems..." said the goblin, adding "...and what are we doing, we are using a stored vaccines on it, so what will happen now, if an outbreak of a SARS like infection occurs in six months time, where we already know how long it takes to stockpile vaccines like this, and that there are not enough vaccines for everyone at this point...", the goblin stopped, as if remembering something else "...the truth is that humans not exposed to infections cannot gain an immunity to them, this strain is new and our bodies are not used to it, agreed, but this infection is rather like that live polio vaccine where, unlike normal vaccines, dead material isn't used, simply, this mild infection could turn out to be a body defense booster, which until it is proved otherwise, should be allowed to run its course though the community in my opinion, with those vaccines saved for only the very weakest amongst us...", perhaps the goblin's words smacked of eugenics here, but somehow the idea of "controlled forest fires", was the goblin stance, since everyone knew what eventually happens to a forest where no forest fires is allowed, so the body, much like the forest, has to have something to build up its immunity with otherwise it dies when the "big one" comes

Here's some more info:

Technical Name is H1N1

Tamiflu is one of ONLY 2 drugs able to combat it.

Why are you making such a big deal out of it? It's not as bad as 1918.

by **einsteinean** Fri May 01, 2009 4:52 am

I know, but I stilll don't want to get sick. Closing school 3 weeks early wouldn't be a problem, though. Very Happy

by **kareljanis** Fri May 01, 2009 8:11 pm

the media has overhyped this way too much

by SF Fri May 01, 2009 8:54 pm

You americans only have 3 weeks of school left? Jeepers!

by **kareljanis** Fri May 01, 2009 9:45 pm

Bird flu never really did anything, another "scare". I reckon they're hyping this up because the government (at least the UK one) want use the tamiflu they stored up three years ago- it's shelf life is 3 years.

by **einsteinean** Sat May 02, 2009 9:55 am

We have about 6 weeks left, but I mean if it does become a pandemic, they might close 3 weeks early.

by **Boxman** Sat May 02, 2009 11:32 am

This swine flu business is bullshit .

xD

by **Jyo** Tue May 05, 2009 4:50 pm

in some areas, if a kid gets swine flu, the whole school is shut down XD

by **einsteinean** Tue May 05, 2009 5:52 pm

Thank you Master Noob.

But I really wouldn't give a damn if he got Swine flu. MAybe the burn in hell thing was a bit extreme, and I hope he doesn't die, but like I said, I really wouldn't care if he got it.

by **JriderT** Tue May 05, 2009 5:54 pm

I'm not worried about the swine flu, no reports here..... yet.

by **kareljanis** Tue May 05, 2009 9:54 pm

by **einsteinean** Thu May 07, 2009 1:38 pm

Where in Mexico?

by **kareljanis** Thu May 07, 2009 7:24 pm

by **einsteinean** Fri May 08, 2009 4:44 pm

You should have nothing to worry about, because apparently the flu is dying out.

by **shikadi** Fri May 08, 2009 11:38 pm
