Canada doesn't want to give the (infected) Native Reserves any hand cleaner because it has alcohol in it.

I'm not joking.

Australia has had its first three people die from Swine Flu in the past week.

Two people from Northern Ireland have died from it. Both in Armagh, which is a county* away from me.

*County is a state/province/prefecture whatever floats your boat.

Nay, Louth be quite far down. :P

I'm from Derry, which, I am of the minority Catholic community.

Hopefully, all the Protestants will die from swine flu.

*resists urge to sing Irish rebel song with words switched so it fits with swine flu, and is also aware this action is going nowhere so will place a * at the end and hopefully no one will take heed.*

abe is now! · #**130** 06-25-2009, 05:55 AM

I think I'll get the flu and I'll die.

Leto · #**131** 06-25-2009, 10:06 PM

in New Zealand, since about a fortnight ago, since there are so many cases, swine flu is no longer under a quarantine basis, but a management one. it is quite seriously just a matter of time before we all get it here.

but hay, it's gown b al g.

Also to be on topic: someone I know thinks they have swineflu. Of course its just hayfever, but how I love paranoia.

mr.odd · #**135** 06-26-2009, 04:41 PM

Co. Louth is a county in the Republic...

Therefore my statement still stands, NI is filth.

Holy shit I haven't looked at the numbers for a while, but when did the US surpass Mexico in the death count?

US: 329 deaths

Mexico: 140 deaths

Also, here in the Netherlands infections have gone from 90 to 273 in less then a month. And my school has official started putting up posters informing people how to slow down the virus.

It's not in the news anymore though, at least not over here. Any media attention going out to the flu in other countries?

Wings of Fire · #**138** 07-24-2009, 03:11 PM

Nah, but a few of my friends have it and aren't dying.

We get a news report every now and then saying how the hospitals aren't coping but the newspapers have gotten bored.

***Alcar*** · #**139** 07-25-2009, 01:17 PM

According to my doctor friends, New South Wales' hospitals have forgone swine flu diagnosis'. They have (unofficially) realised that everyone is going to get it eventually - we need to build a tolerance to it. I agree whole-heartedly. We need to build an immunity to it as a global community.

That being said - I think we should throw everything we have at the expectant mothers who have unfortunately contracted it.

And by 'throw' I mean money, intelligence, drugs, etc.

Havoc · #**140** 07-25-2009, 01:48 PM

I think waiting to build a tolerance for this is kind of dangerous in this particular case, given the high expectancy of this thing mutating into something much more deadly.

Wings of Fire · #**141** 07-25-2009, 01:55 PM

High expectancy? Now that is media fueled bullshit.

No more or less likely than any other seasonal flu. In fact, probably less likely, seeing as Swine Flu is considered fairly weak as flus go.

Bullet Magnet · #**143** 07-26-2009, 10:27 AM

Hybridisation, however, very likely. Especially if more pigs get it.

**JayDee** · #**144** 07-26-2009, 11:48 AM

i think about 3 members of my family have swine flu but their aunts and uncles so i wont get it...unless i have it now i might even infect oddworld forums through this post

Laser · #**145** 07-26-2009, 12:01 PM

No one I know has swine flu.

One had a scare but it turned out to be kidney infection

True, but no more likely than normal seasonal flu.

Hobo · #**147** 07-27-2009, 04:09 AM

We had a suspected outbreak in our house. But I think we're all fine. Yay.

Munch's Master · #**148** 07-27-2009, 09:43 AM

I almost had a cold starting up a few days back, and now I've got a cold starting up again.

FEAR MY TOUCH FOR I SHALT INFECT YOU WITH THINE SWINE PLAGUE.
