[Joe88]

i remember they also said a vaccine was 6 months away

Might be 3 months away, Baxter claims they have new technology allowing them to create one in 3 months.

For the moment you can use Tamiflu or Relenza to prevent/treat it, but it's just what shows the best way of doing it.

Yepp, never understood why people like its meat. Once I understood that it's the meat of those disgusting animals I reduced pig in my diet as far as possible without becoming Vegetarian.

That aside, swine flu has all signs of a possible massmedia hysteria. I'd advice searching a safe place and switching off the TV, just to be safe.

Absolutely not, the 'swine' flu hasn't anything to do with swines.

LOL, Who told you that?
Why would they name it "swine" then?
It is based on a flu among pigs, it was possible to transmit it from pig to human, but now it has mutated so
its able to transfer from human to human.
Get a news paper sometime

Also, no its not transmitted by eating pork so far.
Don't know who eats raw pig tho, that might be possible?

 

[Splych]

I eat pig... Except it is cooked. Swines... Cool animal. Heard this flu is gonna be bigger than SARS. (iunno if I spelt it right. Since it was about 4 years ago...)

Sorry, my bad, I meant that you can't get sick by eating pig meat.
Even if the pig meat is 'sick', it should get cured by just heating it up.
So don't stop eating pig meat, absolutely no reason to do that!

They should just put the pigs with swine flu into a smokehouse for a couple of days. That should cure them.

Ah, just like bird flu, this will pass. Media and pharmaceutical companies just like tossing around words like pandemic. You know, the flu medicine sales skyrocket. Besides, it's highly treatable - yeah, some people die. But hundreds of people die from cold every day. It happens.

Its just a way for the media to bring more fear. I hate the media.

Except normal colds and flu kill the very young, weak and old, whereas this form of flu has been killing healthy adults.

 

[purplesludge]

I agree with all four of MaHe.

Ahaha, definitely before this thing can kill everyone.

I love you hahahaha

Fact: If swine flu was an STD, you could only get it from fat chicks.

When SARS hit, I was living in Hong Kong.

I know one person (maybe the family too) in my apartment caught SARS, but I was fine all along.


But I had a pain in my left lung 3 days ago, and showing flu-like symptoms since then.

Well that ain't good. I would go to a doctor quickly if I were you.
