    I heard from an insider the swine flu viruses are bottlenecked in the system and that any day now they are going to burst out into the wild. Better start hoarding respirators and getting the National Guard to give forced vaccinations.

    [quote=CONCHO]Sorry, but I just couldn’t resist resurrecting this thread. 2009 was supposed to be the year that we were all going to die from Swine Flu. Looks like it didn’t happen…[/quote]

    Hmmm…5-15K people died who weren’t supposed to die of flu and it was from this bug. You could say it’s a nothingburger but you’d also have to say that if 9/11 happened multiple times then that is no big deal either. The breakdown of the system with this few of deaths from a pandemic has been amazing.

    Huh? What break downs of the system are you referring to?

    The mortality rate in Mexico was so far ~5% among healthy young people. Fortunately, the virus is known to be susceptible to oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and we can expect the government to help out if there are shortages of the medication. Just to be safe, you might want to get some yourself. It’s prescription-only in the US but freely available in Tijuana. Get some now before border pharmacies jack up prices.[/quote]

    Horsepiss.

    I work at a Children’s Hospital and have yet to see one normal, healthy, kid die from the swine flu this year. A few got pretty bad, but they all made it through.

    And Tamiflu doesn’t do jack except make you feel worse. The side effects are particularly gnarly too (IIRC).

    Trust the drug pushers. They’ll never steer you wrong. /snark
