OK... so this strain of the virus? How did it come about? Did it always exist and has been dormant for the 6000 years you believe the Earth has been around for? Did God create it?

Because scientists are saying it is an evolved strain of the influenza virus.

Congratulations. You win FACEPALM of the Day for Cinco de Mayo!

I think it's being blown out of proportion. As long as you wash your hands or use hand sanitizer, you should be good. I mean it's not like you'll die instantaneously if you come in contact with someone who has it. Just get tested if you think you do. Really simple.

Its a killer virus that is why its blown out of proportion and I dont blame them, nobody wants another world epidemic on our hands.

It's no more deadly then the other flu viruses. If you don't have complications with the run of the mill ones then you'll be fine. They just got caught off guard with no vaccine for it and crapped their proverbial pants.

@MMM, apparently you didn't pick up on the sarcasm in my last post, tis but a joke i assure you

@ Ronin4hire, I'm pretty sure that is irrelevant and would cross into religion territory, see discussion rule 2.4, but to answer your question, I don't know if it's been around for 6k or not but regardless I do believe that God created it at some point, and yes I am aware this is the same Being that allowed the Holocaust and so on and so forth, not to belittle those horrendous events in any shape or form

I myself, am a Christian. And all of you deserve a Jesuspalm because this thread is about the Swine Flue, and somehow people start talking about religion?


Back on Topic I tend to agree with the "it's just being dramatically drawn out in the news"
It's not that big of deal. There has only been 1 death........ get over it peoples. The korean missle crap is scaring me more than some little sickness.

Hahaha, so I have gotten 2 facepalms now, looks like I need to ban myself

Actually, there have been quite a few deaths from it.

There has been one in America, but this is still no Malaria

Doctors always get worried when some virus mutates. They usually aren't sure how bad it will turn out, so they usually try to start off with the worst possibilities and let the topic die down on it's own if the virus doesn't do as much damage as they thought. Better to be safe than sorry
