Deadly swine flu outbreak 'can't be contained' Posted Sun Apr 26, 2009 5:32am AEST Updated Sun Apr 26, 2009 6:12am AEST Source Link The strain of swine flu is suspected of killing as many as 60 people in Mexico. (Reuters: Jorge Dan Lopez) The US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says an unusual new flu virus has spread widely and cannot be contained, as the World Health Organisation urges governments to be on the alert. "It is clear that this is widespread," the CDC's Dr Anne Schuchat told reporters. "And that is why we have let you know that we cannot contain the spread of this virus." __________________________________ Cases have been identified in New Zealand, Israel -

Ummm... pork roast! Oh sorry- My point was that there were some pretty wacky children's books out there. If I were a parent, I'd be very careful what I got for the little Beast to read. If I had read Alfie's House as a child I think I may have gone on a shooting spree. James -

You got it. Furthermore, he is pushing an agenda that wuld be endorsed by the Mormon Church. The Catholics wouldn't dare because it's the scam their pedophile preists have been working for generations. Are we sure the author isn't Orson Scott Card? -

Flu is exceptionally hard to track. It travels by vectors or people or animals that have it. People can jump on a plane and be around the world overnight. Animals can migrate for thousands of miles. There is really no way to track it but I've seen reports in California, Mexico and Kansas. There is no point in making plans to avoid it because we'll always be a wek behind it which means that its all over the West coast, Miswest and South West. -
Flu pandemic concern grows with more U.S. cases
JamesSavik replied to JamesSavik's topic in The Lounge
Most people don't think twice about the flu but it can be a serious matter. The flu virus is genetically unstable and prone to mutations. Every year there are dozens of strains of new flu virus. Only the heartiest, most virulent virus emerges and sweeps the globe. Occasionally that mutation will be something that human immune systems can't easily handle. The last great global flu pandemic took place in 1917-18. It circled the globe and killed over 20 million people. It so weakened the big Western powers that it hastened then end of WWI. Even a moderately bad flu can cause problems to the very young and very old. It is a serious menace to immune-compromised persons. We may take thins one on the chin because it would take at least six months to make vaccine to this flu strain. Most likely as flu season winds down, so will the virus. It may or may not come back next year. -
Flu pandemic concern grows with more U.S. cases Source Link By Adriana Barrera and Stephanie Nebehay Sat Apr 25, 2009 5:54pm MEXICO CITY/GENEVA (Reuters) - A new flu that has killed up to 68 people in Mexico could start a global epidemic, the World Health Organization warned on Saturday, as tests showed the strain might be spreading in the United States. Mexico's crowded capital, where most of the deaths happened and home to some 20 million people, hunkered down in fear of the swine flu. Tests confirmed that eight New York City schoolchildren had a type A influenza virus that was likely to be the swine flu, the city's health commissioner said. Kansas state health officials confirmed two cases of swine flu, CNN reported, adding to the original eight cases in the United States. Officials from WHO and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention helped Mexican health experts test hundreds of patients with flu symptoms for the never-before-seen virus. In Mexico City, parents canceled kids' parties, bars were closed and residents stocked up on DVDs as people stayed home for the weekend to avoid contamination. "I think it's worse than they're telling us," said 35-year-old Lidia Diaz, sniffling and wearing a surgical mask as she headed to a clinic in the capital. <more> _________________________________________________________________

CDC: 7 people sick with a new strain of swine flu
JamesSavik replied to JamesSavik's topic in The Lounge
Flu virus serotype names are derived from the forms of the two kinds of proteins on the surface of its coat, hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N) or their hosts. Influenza A subtypes are H1N1, H1N2, H2N2, H2N3 or Spainish, Avian and Hong Kong Flus respectively. The forms of the two kinds of proteins on the surface of its coat, hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N) make a huge difference in the virilence and severity of the infection cause by the virus. -
Reuters Article Seven people in U.S. hit by strange new swine flu WASHINGTON, April 23 (Reuters) - Seven people have been diagnosed with a strange and unusual new kind of swine flu in California and Texas, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported on Thursday. All seven people have recovered but the virus itself is a never-before-seen mixture of viruses typical among pigs, birds and humans, the CDC said. "We are likely to find more cases," the CDC's Dr. Anne Schuchat told a telephone briefing. "We don't think this is time for major concern around the country." The CDC reported the new strain of swine flu on Tuesday in two boys from California's two southernmost counties. ________________________________________ A variant of swine flu swept the world in 1917-18 in a pandemic that killed 20 million people. It so enervated the countries of the world that it hastened the end of WWI and created a mini economic depression.

Alfie's House: this is what many counselors might
JamesSavik replied to JamesSavik's topic in The Lounge
My problem with the book is that it implies that all gay people have an Uncle Peter to molest them into the club. That's one of the oldest and completely bogus claims of anti-gay organizations and completely at odds with the life experience of most of us. That's not to say that some gay youth are at risk of sexual abuse, it is certainly NOT the origin of homosexuality. -
So- youz want me to wack him or what?
