Haha at Mexico saying they only have 26 cases and 159 death related to swine flu when in actuallyity the number of cases are far over 1000.

Such an overreaction. If this is a 5 out of 6, I hate to see what they would do if an actual epidemic broke out around the world.

If it can reach Madagascar the game is won!majoras_wrath

That is it, I am buying a shotgun for once things go to the next level, then I am out to own what I perceive as zombies, after all all zombies really do is pass on a disease. That is how you become a zombie.

And just so everyone knows that person who died in the US was a baby who was transported from Mexico to recieve nmedical attention in the US.

so technically it doesn't count as a confirmed case for the US then right?

more and more cases keep popping up in NYC. And Ive notice that the majority of the schools are catholic they are effected :shock:

I heard that only 7 have died and they were all in Mexico. Probably not including the 2 year old in Texas though. Should i believe everything else i have heard (over 150 deaths) or this one?

Big deal. I'll start to worry when people start turning into zombies. Until then I'll be sure to sneeze on everyone that I pass.Pittfan666

Heh, that actually sounds fun. I should walk around the campus tomorrow and cough on a few people for the hell of it. :P

and so it begins...

there are over 150 deaths. Within those deaths, not ever body has been examined to see if it was the flu that killed them.Tjeremiah1988

Some kid at my school got the swine flu, and some old guy sitting next to me on the bus keeps coughing!Laughing_God

I still don't think it's that big a deal. There is certainly reason to be concerned but there is no reason to panic. Many countries have been stock-piling very effective drugs since the bird-flu scare. And I'd also like to point out that the one death in the U.S. was of a Mexican citizen who was visiting family in Texas.

How does Mexico have more deaths than cases? fastesttruck

It's hilarious how everyone is worried about it, and yet the only people who have died from it are from Mexico, where they were probably under poor living conditions and lack of medical coverage.Jaks_Secret
