ARE YOU SCARED?
I have had almost all of the symptoms over the past 10 days.
Got a call from a parent of a kid that was at a birthday party I took my daughter to over the weekend. Parent said her kid is sick and is being tested for Swine flu. We will know Wednesday whether she has it.
I would think that you would find this re-assuring then, unless the friend has been to Mexico lately.

[tweet]So far there have been links to Mexico or someone who has recently traveled to Mexico in the confirmed cases in the US.[/tweet]
Yeah, I don't worry about these type of things but her mom goes nutz-o.
Uh oh.
U.S. swine flu cases spread
Several hundred students have fallen ill in N.Y., and at least 7 people are now hospitalized across the U.S.
Can you catch Swine Flu over the internet? Glenn, I don't know if I can post with you any more.Quote:

The true danger of swine flu.
In the spirit of full disclosure, I had my tonsils out which explains about 95% of that, but you never know I guess, so I better wait for each and every media report on this.Quote:

Anyway, no I'm not scared. Sorry Mexico, but I'm not convinced your general public sanitation or hospitals are par on a bad public course.
So far in the US, the swine flu is 0 for 250,000,000+. While it's not smart for our officials to completely ignore it, there are things not in the news that kill people more every day.
Did you know people in the US catch the black plague every year? Yes the plague.
Plus, last year it was bird flu, before that SARS. I understand the possiblilities, I was fascinated with viruses as a child through my teens, but I'm not even going to blink at the moment.
Gl'enn had his tonsils removed in Mexico, by a pig.
Old public service messages ROCK!
Two cases reported in Michigan.

-- 23-month-old Texas child confirmed as first U.S. swine flu death, according to Richard Besser, acting director, CDC.
Time for war! Conquer Mexico! You can't kill our babies and expect to get away with it! Damn your unethical biological guerrilla war fare!
If Mexico's economy wasn't already in shambles (especially tourism with the fear of the drug cartels) then this should just about finish them off.
It will take at least, what, 10 years minimum, to overcome the negative effect of this on tourism?
Texas is going to take a big hit, too.
I like how dogmatic your research was for that ten year estimate.
Um, thanks. It was more of a guess than an attempt at dogmatism, but I'm a fan of hypercriticism so um, thanks!
Dude, you can just play along. It's a website.
That is me playing along, lol.
It didn't used to be.
Oh no, the dreaded "you've changed" talk!
I have fun here everyday, that's all that matters to me.
Swine flu for $200, Alex.
I think we should start posting on other boards.
^Damn, what would the "Old Glenn" say to that?
Probably not something about swine flu.
Something funnier than that.
Sorry to disappoint, perhaps you've outgrown me.
Maybe we're just in different places in life, oh, such different places.
But at the same time, these commonalities seem to just keep pulling us together.
What an enigma.
I wonder how long it will take XM/Sirius to devote a whole channel to Swine Flu Updates?
I can se it now, "The SFU, XM #177"

According to a family member of mine that is a medical professional, outside of children, senior citizens, people with compromised immune systems and people that can't afford medical care/vaccines, there's not much to fear.

I would say I get the swine flu maybe 2 or 3 times a year
^ I felt like that today after reading Curry is coming back.
That's true for run of the mill seasonal flu that comes around every year. What makes the pandemic strains so bad is they kill the exact opposite group--young, healthy people with strong immune systems.Quote:

I've already killed 6 people named Joe today--what have YOU done to protect our country from the Swine flu?
