36,000 a year in the U.S. die from the flu, and it not considered an epidemic Now, swine flu has killed a fraction of that, and the foolish are babbling like it's 1918 again.

More people die from car wrecks than from the flu.

AIDS was gonna kill us all off, and it turns out it's a fag and IV drug user disease.

I pay very little attention to any of it. I don't believe anything I read, and less of what I hear.

After 9-11, I had a woman in a store tell me than then the WTC fell, one guy on top surfed his way down on the collapsing building. I told her that was impossible, and she acted offended.

The sheeple are idiots and will believe anything. The bigger the lie, the more likely they are to believe it.

Using new and improved statistical models, CDC scientists estimate that an average of 36,000 people (up from 20,000 in previous estimates) die from influenza-related complications each year in the United States. In addition, about 11,000 people die per year from respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a virus that causes upper and lower respiratory tract infections primarily in young children and older adults. The study demonstrates that most deaths caused by RSV occur in the elderly.

==================================

The Spanish flu killed between 50 to 80 million around the world in 1918, including many Americans.

That is a pandemic.

The 36,000 flu-related deaths you refer to is not.

Do you see the difference?

The stories about swine flu will disappear in a few months, just as stories about bird flu did.

I used to be a newspaper editor. I know how the media works. "If it bleeds it leads." It doesn't matter in the slightest if the story is true or not.

As I just said, the sheeple are idiots, and the bigger the lie, the more likely that are to fall for it.

================================

Naivety rules, misinformation is how it does it.

The problem is many-fold.

What we can agree on is that the threat of a pandemic coming up from Mexico (plus a whole helluva lot of other things) could be controlled if we had a border.

There are no borders in the modern world. You act as though some sort of omnipotent GOD called called "government" can save you; that idea is laughable, at best.

The spread of diseases can not be controlled by "check-points" with armed guards [with the singular exception of Israel whom brings the world to war each and every day we wake up to.]

=================================

You do realize the entire North American Continent is considered unsafe as you read this by the rest of the world, right?

China, Russia, Europe, and Asia all have restricted flight here.

Why is this?

I just arrived back in the USA from traveling all over Europe. There are no restrictions anywhere.

It depends on what country you came back from.

Which one was it?

The situation is dynamic and changes almost by the hour.

He added however, that it was prudent of governments to advise nationals to stay away from infected areas.

Last night, WHO raised its alert level on the swine flu epidemic to phase four.

This decision was based mainly on data showing human-to-human transmission and the ability of the virus to cause community level outbreaks.

Hartl described the current state of alert as a turning point.

The infection rate could remain at current levels or slow down.

The highest level of alert, phase six would mean sustained out breaks in more than one region and be characterized as a pandemic.

That would trigger the production of anti- swine flu vaccines, Hartl said.

The WHO spokesman explained however that beginning vaccine production against swine flu would probably mean suspending the manufacture of vaccines against normal flu viruses.

At the moment, existing anti- viral drugs have been proven effective in treating swine flu.

Despite its name, Hartl emphasized that the disease is spread between humans and is not caused by eating pork. Cooking pork or any meat well kills all viruses, he said.

According to the world health organization, laboratory tests have so far confirmed a total of 79 swine flu cases; these include 40 in the United States, 26 in Mexico, 6 in Canada, 3 cases in New Zealand, 2 cases in the United Kingdom and one case in Spain. WHO says it can only confirm 7 deaths as a result of the virus.

I was within the European Union visiting my grandmother, whom had a great day for celebration about her fame as MOMMA in in Holland. But also in I had the chance of speeding through countries all the way from England to France and Belgium.

I use a USA government paid for nurse to help on the TGV; she doesn't require a dime from me as you pay for services; and I want to be the first to thank you for being an honest-john paying taxes.

=============================

Glad you had a great time in Holland (beautiful country).

Having 'sped' through that many (small) countries had to have taken you at least 3 or 4 days, which during that time the dynamic scenario has constantly changed.

Just since you've been home, Europe has reported new H151 cases.

Look here and you'll get a better idea, without having to trust what some stranger on a blog has to say about it.

================================

Other than the face you look at several times a day in your bathroom mirror, who would you turn to for a credible source able to track specific outbreaks on a world scale?
