GenDonuts Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I think that the swine flu won't kill billions of people just millions. Man thats alot. :wallbash: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monolithic0117 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 (Propaganda video goes here) That was quite strange. The matter-of-fact way that she said *so-and-so* died was just absurd."But so-and-so had a heart condition and she died." I agree with bben46 in this case. It just doesn't seem to be a cause for omnipresent worry/anxiety. I won't spend my free time wringing my hands and thinking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleRoe Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 As an ex military who had to deal with contaminating viruses i can assure you.. that you all have nothing to worr*cough*.. excuse me.. nothing to worry ab *cough cough*... to worr*cough*.. gah.. i can assure you all have nothing to wo*cough*....let me finish the damn sentence!....i'm not feeling so well.... On a serious note.. right now it's something to be aware of. strongly aware and ready to take action should you need to for you and your family,but no reason to wear mask on your face and carry around a small tree for Oxygen reserve. It's your right if you want to but there is no need right now. this is not the first virus to threaten the nation. I understand that we shouldn't kick this flu in the corner simply because we've dealt with outbreaks before,but there is also no need to sit at your computer screen screaming "THE END IS NEAR! ALL IS LOST WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE!!.."because that helps nobody including yourself. you know the virus exist. you know there is a possibility of the virus spreading massivly across the world. so take all reasonable precautions but don't go crazy over it. Another thing... if it was the end of the world.. would you prefer to die doing something you've never done before,or die at your laptop,debating about how the world will end?

katklaw Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Well we have 12 confirmed with the flying pig flu here in New Zealand. they have been quarantined at thier homes. It appears that the easiest way of contracting it is through actual physical contact :yucky: so no hugging over the net and wash your mouses or mice and key boards.

Lord Slyther Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 This has a little to do with bben's post. What somebody should do is set up their militant forces, and contain that one area where the virus spreads. Basically like a virus scan, do a quarantine on the survivors, find out who's infected and what not, kinda like 28 days later. I doubt that would happen. I sure hope they find a cure though. Because I've heard there were, I dunno how many students were killed, but quite a few in one of the High Schools in New York. I've also heard about this flu at school, so I'm taking extra precautions. Although, I'm not gonna act crazy like "OMG I'm gonna die", because I strongly believe I ain't gonna die like this, I tell you that for one thing.

Basically like a virus scan, do a quarantine on the survivors, find out who's infected and what not, kinda like 28 days later. That would be much too tedious and inefficient. How would they be able to find and contain all the infected people? Besides, that would only be minutely effective in the very first stages of the disease, where it is still contained to a relatively small area. After that, it would prove impossible. Anyway, it seems that a few cases have been confirmed in Ontario. Rather too close for comfort... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
