Well at least its nice to know that the 16,786 mexicans that came in last night dont have it.

 

It's already in KC and NYC!

 

Another unwanted immigrant from mexico.

 

I wonder if a TB outbreak could be traced in the same way. Not to mention HIV and other diseases prevalent in third world countrys.......but what do I know?

 

You gotta love that multi million dollar fence we built...er....were going to build but already paid for. Well, it'll be like all the other crap that has made its way into this country in the form af a flu or virus. I guess it'll never end.

 

The cases in KC are the result of one of the persons contracting the Flu during a visit to Mexico and passing it on when they returned.
Aside for Shipboy; I don't want this thread moved to the club so knock off the ______!

 

Wasn't there a Swine Flu threat in '75 or '76? I seem to remember my fourth grade teacher scaring the bejezus out of us back then.

Hopefully they are over-reacting which in this case is a good thing.

 

If anybody wonders why this Flu is scary just do some studying of the Influenza outbreak of 1918;The 1918 Influenza Pandemic

 

Wash your hands three times before eating.

 

dont eat for 3 months , best way to kill the virus
oh and dont breath for 2 weeks in the open air.

we have to do it all the time in the UK when the imagrants come through the tunnel
damn albanians or portuguese , or who ever

 

YES!

More advice,
wash hands after using the bathroom,
stay home if you feel ill

 

All made worse by the fact that the illegals are coming into Texas by the truckload on a daily basis. Just another example of how they are draining this country.

 

Yea thay just put a new roof on my house

 

Definitely something to keep an eye on. Luckily we're ending the end of flu season, so the spread should start to taper off soon. Hopefully the folks at CDC and the drug makers are smart enough to have this strain included in next years flu shot.
