Participant[quote=CONCHO]Hmmm…5-15K people died who weren’t supposed to die of flu and it was from this bug.
Okay let’s take the outside measurement of 15K extra deaths in the US. With a current population of > 300M, that means that swine flu deaths affected .005% of the population. Holy crap that’s terrifying! Excuse me while I pee myself and wrap my house in duct tape and plastic sheeting. 15K swine flu deaths! That’s almost 1/3 of the number of people who die in automobile accidents every year in the US! Holy shit! I’d better go get myself injected with the latest vaccines for protection. Thanks for alerting me of this frightening threat![/quote]
It’s never a big deal unless it affects you right. Car accidents, cancer, watching children die of diseases while you dance around and talk about plastic sheeting. I know how these people feel before they die from lack of oxygen as I almost went myself at 23 when I caught SARS almost a decade ago. It sucks!
A half million people may have died in an earthquake in Haiti. That’s no big deal since that’s a much smaller number of people than die of car accidents throughout the world. Nice dude. It’s all unacceptable and these victims deserve a little respect.
The breakdown of the system I’m talking about is that with all of the news and guidance you have docs all over the country not following the guidance and sending obvious flu patients home saying it’s nothing, or sending them back to work or school to infect others with something that kills people who don’t normally die of bugs like this.
We’ve got documented stories of people with large families who were told that their teenage family members died of heart failure when the test results were confirmed positive for H1N1 and on the hospital record. Meanwhile the victim exposed the rest of the family to it. I’ve personally talked to Docs about this issue and they have no fricking clue about what to do about it.
Influenza is one of the few fundamental bugs that docs are taught to diagnose in first year med school yet they can’t put 2 and 2 together in the clinic in the middle of a pandemic to treat conservatively. That’s a breakdown of the system and I can post dozens of news stories of people who are now perished due to this breakdown of common sense.

Participant[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.

ParticipantWow! The parents took the nice fat nest egg and threw it on the roulette table and lost it. Cry me a river. What this article yet again portrays is that going back to slumming “renting” is below them and getting whatever jobs they can find in a 10%+ unemployment market is beneath them.
If your business goes to ZERO cashflow there is no point waiting around and hoping the magical Obamafairy will throw you a stimulus check to take care of it all. Go find a damn job wherever you can so you can feed the 6 kids.
