“WASHINGTON – The world’s governments raced to avoid both a pandemic and global hysteria Sunday as more possible swine flu cases surfaced from Canada to New Zealand and the United States declared a public health emergency. “It’s not a time to panic,” the White House said.”

Really? The Government’s are trying to avoid panic? Looks to me like the media is running wild foaming at the mouth and broadcasting a disaster and the governments are all playing along to keep the masses distracted.

let’s see, economy collapsing in 2000/2001

what happened?[/quote]

Uh…Who was predicting a collapse in 2000/01? Not me. Sorry.

what happened?[/quote]

What happened?? Dude, look around you. It’s happening now. Insolvent banks. Rampant bankruptcies. 20% real unemployment. Are you looking for the little CNN banner running across the bottom of your TV screen saying, “Breaking News: U.S. Economy in Collapse”? LOL.

Anyway, back to the flu. My only point is that when the economy finally deteriorates to the point that Americans start pointing fingers at Obama and IF this flu continues to spread with the virulent effects seen in Mexico, it would be a convenient way for him to explain why the downturn was exacerbated. This isn’t rocket science, and it’s hardly a controversial statement. Do you have a response to that argument, or do you just want to dwell on the fact that you haven’t seen the CNN banner on your TV alerting you that we are in deep shit?

Flu: Interesting links. Thanks for sharing. While it is, of course, debatable as to whether John really was who he says he was (his claims are fairly detailed, but I would require more proof), I do envision and hope for a future along the lines of what he is describing. I don’t believe in an apocalypse, and I don’t believe the people in this country are all doomed to die and fail. I think our priorities are about to be re-adjusted on a massive scale, and some may see that as apocalyptic. I just see it as “change you can believe in” 😉

This line resonated with me: “You should probably know that this time (i.e. 2000-01 and arguably 2001-09) is not remembered for its selflessness, charity or ability to work together.” Hopefully in a future time mankind will be remembered for the qualities and virtues that it currently lacks.

You know, I was only half joking. I hope you’re not taking john titor too seriously. It’s not going to be the end of the world.

I really should change by id…It’s getting kind of confusing. Are people refering to me or flu (as in a cold).

Really? The Government’s are trying to avoid panic? Looks to me like the media is running wild foaming at the mouth and broadcasting a disaster and the governments are all playing along to keep the masses distracted.

No kidding.These potential pandemics start to feel like a drill. Only no one is saying it’s a drill.

Yep, it sucks

My throat is sore

No joke

I’m moving wed so no time to be sick

I took my own medicine that I stated earlier on the thread.

I’m probably experiencing a psychic manifestation of the flu.
