Swine Flu

[Kenco]

I don't want to die!
discuss...

[PSPDan]

We have a health service in this country dw.

[ley]

owwwwwwh nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

[tomgarrett]

its just more scare mungering by the media...im bored of it all

[djflipsaxo]

i think its a scary thing tbh.
over 100 have died in mexico aleady.
i know we have a health system but its still worrying

[camTcar]

another foreign disease to worry about

[Heliosphan]

We could do with a cull, bring it on.

[Kenco]

first person to bring it back to england...
a woman...
FAIL
(sorry ladies)

[davidharvey]

Just like bird flu was gonna wipe us out

or was it

SARS?

Aids?

obviously a poor week for news, they gotta make some up

[frankie]

the so called suspect case's of swine flu are probably just your normal bog standard cases of flu....

[Leesey]

Read in the daily star... (so take it with a pinch of salt) but they said some dr said worst case is it could kill around 120million people and on the other end of the scale the flu could just die and go away. USA is in a national state of alert over though apprently!

[Penn]

If you read up on it you'll realise it's all media scaremongering.

Just over 100 people in mexico have died from a flu like virus, 20 of those have been confirmed to be Swine Flu. These 20 people also live in very small communties where personal hygiene is non existent and other viruses were likely to contribute to their deaths.

In contrast with people who have had confirmed Swine Flu cases in the USA, no one has even come close to dieing.

[DannoWilko]

I dont care about swineflu i want to die

[RobVT]

be careful you come out in rashes i heard.....

[DannoWilko]

how would on start a progress thread, sorry about breaking the swine flu stuff up

[Mr_P]

Can you imagine phoning in sick the morning you had it. "Sorry boss, won't be in today, I've got swine flu"

[0rang3peel]

bloody mexicans, always up to something. if its not spreading disease its illegal immigration

[Ge0_Ge]

2 confirmed cases in U.K.. 100's in mexico, canida, us and spain.. people can be carrying it on plane, then transport it to any country in world.. it cant be that bad tho otherwise every airport people would be screened for it...

[Jojobunbun]

I think i've got it already... total Hypochondriac

Not going to the gym tonight because i'm scared i'm going to get it!!!!

[JCs_VTR]

In 1918 20-40 million people died from a flu pandemic imagine if that happened now! it all sounds so serious i cant believe how fast it has travelled over the world, im sure all the experts will pull together and cure it, nothing to worry about fingers crossed x

[LaurenV]

I generally like pigs too..

[Rob-6]

they didnt have the antibiotics etc back then though!

[Ge0_Ge]

na, flu like drugs can cure it, its just if everyone takes them, it can mutate more nd become imune to those.. thus killing alota people lol.

[Rob-6]

they've only got enough vaccine in this country for half the population though

[Ge0_Ge]

old people will be ok then.. lol

[Ryyy]

Is this kind of flu only contracted by swines?

[Ryyy]

I think i've got it already... total Hypochondriac

[gerishnikov]

[adam_baker]

[VTRelite]

Load of crap like the Killer Bird Flu

[vtr_cheshire]

Ive had a Tickly throat and a cough for a week now and am often tired. Jesus...

However, i smoke 40 cigarettes a day and am always tired in mornings thus cannot believe people are being told to watch out for a bad throat, a cough and tiredness.

Do the media not know this is going to cause the NHS millions in hypochondriacs (Spelling?)

[Kenco]

Do the media not know this is going to cause the NHS millions in hypochondriacs (Spelling?)

[gouldy87]

[xxpinkyxx1991]

I don't want to die!
discuss...

thats the first thing i thought of when i heard about it lol :n:

[Liam]

thats the first thing i thought of when i heard about it lol :n:

Me too..
Dunno if you know this, but you want me!!

[Harty-VTS]

Were going Mexico for our honeymoon, its in August so not too worried as im sure it will be gone by then.

But i have heard all flights to Mexico have been cancelled today and for a few more days???

[djflipsaxo]

yeah they have.
its all over the news, im watching it now
scary shit
i wouldnt go.
fuck that

2 people in scotland have got it, 7 people they have been in contact with are also thought to be infected.
not good

also thers not snough treatment for the world, only for 10% of the population

[Harty-VTS]

Also heard they have stopped the premier of new xmen film in Mexico tonight lol in case people get it in the cinema

[djflipsaxo]

Also heard they have stopped the premier of new xmen film in Mexico tonight lol in case people get it in the cinema

tbh i think the only way they can keep us bits safe is to not let anyone in the country.

[b0t13]

also thers not snough treatment for the world, only for 10% of the population

10% thats the top richest then, anyone up for rioting ?

[mattzsaxvtr]

dont start with this im ment to go in 6week had our lass crying alltime cuz she really wanted to go

[Harty-VTS]

dont start with this im ment to go in 6week had our lass crying alltime cuz she really wanted to go

I would call them to see what happening mate. I havent for ours as its 4 months away but i would certainly try and find out.

As it does seem there not letting anyone in at the minute

[djflipsaxo]

dont start with this im ment to go in 6week had our lass crying alltime cuz she really wanted to go

they have already said they will refund every penny to those who need to cancel

would she rather go and die? or take the money and go somewhere else?

[mattzsaxvtr]

i phoned thomson up earlier and they said all flights to mexico up till friday are cancelled and see what happens after that also to contact travel agents for a full refund or a holiday swap

[Bickerton]

Almost all of it will be scaremongering, the reason? American drug companies will be making an absolute fucking killing off this!
People here are already avoiding buying pork, which is pathetic, as cooking pork kills the virus, and our pork isn't even infected!!

[pjm300]

this is real

if it mutates enough - not far off now, then it will kill a lot of people

its not scaremongering

[Posibluecomingafteryou]

does it remind anyone of the rage virus or something similar? i cant help but think of it, except we dont turn into zombies we just die "apparently"

[Bickerton]

this is real

if it mutates enough - not far off now, then it will kill a lot of people

its not scaremongering

If normal flu mutates it will kill alot of people too!
More often that not it doesn't tho

[Steve]

i have a swore through and bad head......
hope i dont have this swine flu shite.

[Bickerton]

i have a swore through and bad head......
hope i dont have this swine flu shite.

Sounds like you got a cold..

[djflipsaxo]

the vacine is made up of baby chick embrios, the vacine takes 6 months to make.
there making the vacines for next winters flu, but may need to use it for this outbreak, which means next winter people will die as there wont be enough vacine

[goodall3518]

there was all this fuss about a bird flu epidemic...im still alive. so im not too worried.

majority of it is a moral panic, a media pandemic designed to hype things more than they actually are.

[Steve]

Sounds like you got a cold..

fingers crossed.......

[pjm300]

If normal flu mutates it will kill alot of people too!
More often that not it doesn't tho

this one has proved it can mutate though, as its transferred from animals to humans.

it is a very real threat

[Bickerton]

Bird flu was gonna kill everyone a few years ago.... was a bit of a fail

[Saxo_theedge]

http://survivorsbbctv.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/bbc_minisite_01.jpg

Thats whats guna happen tbh

[pjm300]

Bird flu was gonna kill everyone a few years ago.... was a bit of a fail

however the procedures were already in place in case it mutated.

the WHO is very very concerned about this

[Bickerton]

this one has proved it can mutate though, as its transferred from animals to humans.

it is a very real threat

It's also very treatable too.

[Bickerton]

http://survivorsbbctv.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/bbc_minisite_01.jpg

Thats whats guna happen tbh

WTF is the girl of doctor who on the pic for?! she died in the first 30 minutes lol

[pjm300]

It's also very treatable too.

once the vaccine has been made... which is 4 -6 months down the line

[Bickerton]

How many people have officially died from this up till now?

[goodall3518]

eat your green beans i say :y:

[Saxo_theedge]

WTF is the girl of doctor who on the pic for?! she died in the first 30 minutes lol

edit wrong person

[djflipsaxo]

the bird flu could not be cought by humans or less if you were shagging a chicken
this is airborn, totally different

[djflipsaxo]

How many people have officially died from this up till now?

over 100 in mexico

[Bickerton]

over 100 in mexico

And how many people worldwide starved to death, ie had not food

[djflipsaxo]

And how many people worldwide starved to death, ie had not food

is that contagous? no thats poverty

[Bickerton]

is that contagous? no thats poverty

Is perspective tho

[pjm300]

Is perspective tho

so a pandemic virus shouldnt be addressed until its killed more people than famine?

fuck it, i'll give up my day job then :)

[djflipsaxo]

Is perspective tho

its bloody stupid thats what it is.
if you could cure poverty we would, it cant be cures though.

this can be treated, or if its left it could kill an aweful lot of people,

[djflipsaxo]

"after Lewis' death that 500 soldiers had caught swine flu without falling ill.

Any flu able to reach that many people so fast was capable of becoming another worldwide plague, "

from 1976

[Bickerton]

so a pandemic virus shouldnt be addressed until its killed more people than famine?

fuck it, i'll give up my day job then :)

Agreed it should be addressed but it seems to have been blown totally outta proportion as many things have been in the past.
I mean there's not been too much info on the people that died of it, apprently only 20 of them definatly had swine flu, and of those 20 people it hasn't been explained what if any medical attention and treatment they had up until the end

[arsenal_69r]

In 1918 20-40 million people died from a flu pandemic imagine if that happened now! it all sounds so serious i cant believe how fast it has travelled over the world, im sure all the experts will pull together and cure it, nothing to worry about fingers crossed x

in 1918 the one in spain 120 million people died from tht disease

[djflipsaxo]

i think if i was not bought to our attention we would not know what to look for and what to do to avoid it, therfor it needs to be made a bag thing.

id rather a big thing, than to not know and walk in to a flu trap?

id ather know tbh

[Bickerton]

in 1918 the one in spain 120 million people died from tht disease

Musta been alot, spains population is only 40 million now ;)

[pjm300]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_flu

originated in spain

that was an H1N1 strain, not that it matters lol

[arsenal_69r]

worldwide u nugget lol..

[Bickerton]

worldwide u nugget lol..

Ah ;)

[Saxo_theedge]

Thing is though there hasnt been an outbreak like this for 50 years. Medicine and general knowledge has moved on since then. Were better prepared and as said already have enough vacination for millions. Said on the news last night were even better prepared than america.

This country is dump, but in its defence and the only thing it has going for it is its Healthcare/NHS which is very good.

[djflipsaxo]

in 1978 they say it would have become as big as the plague outbreak.
that was 500 million that died

[Bickerton]

in 1978 they say it would have become as big as the plague outbreak.

Black death fleas on rats jobby plague?

[arsenal_69r]

but i do agree that the media has made this sound a bit worse than it actualy is at this point in time.

papers for example they will say anything so you buy there paper. was reading the daily star today, and also had the sun. they both had completly diffferent things to say about it and the amount of deaths it has coursed.

Aye, i'm not disputing that it could end up being a bad bad thing, but the general public start goin mad over this shit causing more harm than good, i mean how many doctors/hospitals will have a huge influx of people with colds/flu taking up valuable spaces that will result in genuinly ill people getting worse/dying due to not being ablle to get seen

[arsenal_69r]

yer i totally agree with you 100% mate

[tom130691]

in uk it will only affect illegal imigrants that cant go to the NHS for help so in a way it helps us out

[PSPDan]

Haha. That's one way of looking at it...

[sted963]

lmfao :clapping:

[Bickerton]

They will be able to go to any nhs hospital and get treatment i thinks

[djflipsaxo]

whi gives a shit of who it affects, its still a hazard to us all

[pjm300]

This country is dump, but in its defence and the only thing it has going for it is its Healthcare/NHS which is very good.

NHS only give out the vaccine.

you want to be looking to the HPA who are doing all the work at the moment

[vtrsarah]

shame you cant bag it and throw it at gordon brown danm

[furiomike]

times like this it's good we're on an island.

i think anyone flying back here from mexico should be shot and burned.

tbh the number of cases so far outside of mexico wouldnt suggest we have a major problem yet.

Wasn't there a case in Scotland? ;)

[djflipsaxo]

Wasn't there a case in Scotland? ;)

there are 2
and 7 are taking drugs to prevent
also in manchester

[furiomike]

Wasn't there a case in Scotland? ;)
yeah some idiots who flew back from mexico of all places lol. like i said they should be contained/shot/burned.

[shooorn94]

coming back from birmingham last night i was sat on the train during rush hour.

The woman in front began to have a rant about thomas cook and how they've cancelled her holiday, I hadn't really started listening till she brought up "that it's all because of swine flu!"

Apparently she didnt want to go on holiday anywhere else than Mexico city and the offer of jamaica was pathetic from thomas cook, she was demanding that she still could travel or she'd take her custom elsewhere.

Fair play to her but surely you'd wait till it blew over/went elsewhere. :err:

[stevie_m]

Mexico is having one hell of a problem, seems to be spreading like wildfire

[JamesR]

I walk around in a NBC suit :y:

[Sophia_Bush]

send all chavs, pikeys and illegals to mexico oh and any benefit scroungers

[frankie]

just got back from the corona factory in mexico.......

*cough cough* *sneeze sneeze*

[kenny]

the chances of catching swine flu are very minumal unless u have had contact with someone who has it or been in an area that is affected.

its all the media making it worse than it is.

[lemon191]

have to agree that the media as always are blowing it all out of proportion by only releasing facts to boost their sales etc are people still being allowed back to uk from mexico or have both ways been cancelled?

[-Dan-]

Just the same as normal flu, it's barely catchable. THe only realistic ways to catch are standing right next to someone with it, when they sneeze or cough right in your face (like 2 inches away) or by bad hygiene (not washing hands before eating, sucking your thumb etc), and swapping bodily fluids (eg kissing, sex etc) with someone who has it.

It certainly isn't impossible to inhale airborne germs that are 'floating' around in the air, but you'd have to be pretty fucking unlucky.

The reason mexico is so bad is probably because their mummy's never taught them to wash their handies before din-din.

Has been said if people washed their hands properly and when they should MRSA would have pretty much died out in hospitals so alot of bad hygiene everywhere tbh (based on an old specialist doctor i once saw on how clean is your house hospital special ages ago)

[shooorn94]

Has been said if people washed their hands properly

The amount of people who don't wash their hands after using the toilet is pathetic! Numerous times I've wound my mates up telling them they couldnt come near me/sit in my car till they'd done so :p

Maybe this will make them wise up :err:

[M1VT]

another excuse for a day of work
YESS!

[Bickerton]

Bugger, i just thought! you had many sausage rolls Sunday, be you're shitting yourself ;)

[CurtSD]

Only good thing ive heard so far is that we are on level 4 alert out of 6

If it gets to level 5 sixth form closes!! Bring on swine flu!

Level 4 il guess and say read the papers and create forum topics about it.
Level 5 is like recommended to stay indoors.
Level 6 is dig underground and become goblins

[wellsy]

The girl that was diagnosed in devon is about 10 minutes away from me :( BAD TIMES

[Jazz]

Maybe this will make them wise up :err:

Completely agree, this happens a lot at our Uni toilets, lads come in for a quick slash and they're off again like that, no soap or water, no handwash. I find it horrible.

Basic hygiene is the first key step to combatting half of these health issues.

[tom130691]

remember the cow one years bk infected or suspected were shot n burn funny how same doesnt applie to humans

[JamesR]

Just read on the BBC website.

" 1 in 4 Britons will get swine flu "

Not good :n:

[tom130691]

if only we could pick the 1 in 4 :P

[JamesR]

I think there chatting bo*lox tbh

Cant be 1 in 4 surely, the country would collapse.

[NICK2506]

Its stupid. Lots of people die from just 'Flu'. And in mexico probably as many people de from just standard 'Flu' as this. Tis nothing to worry about.

[tom130691]

doent mean 1 in 4 will die tho will get it then be treated then be fine

[JamesR]

doent mean 1 in 4 will die tho will get it then be treated then be fine

Still means a lot of people off work etc.

[dannyboy2005]

I was in contact with someone yesterday who had got back from Mexico city 3 days ago :D

I'll let you know how i feel (Thats if i'm still alive) in a weeks time.

[tom130691]

im so bored of shit like this,
:n:

first one to catch it gets a present :p


we may have a winner above hahaha

[dannyboy2005]

No Shit.. I shook (sp?) his hand and he also coffed near me. :fcuk:

So far i'm fine, just a tickley throat but i don't know if thats the dust at work.

tickle in the throat is apparently the first symptoms :S you get a dry throat... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ijoke

[dannyboy2005]

tickle in the throat is apparently the first symptoms :S you get a dry throat..

Other then that, i feel fine.

Like i said, just a tickle in my throat, like been working in a dusting environment though.

[tom130691]

Other then that, i feel fine.

Like i said, just a tickle in my throat, like been working in a dusting environment though.

youll feel side affects just becuase ur worrying about it

I'm sleepy now, thats cos i just had a tommy tank. I'll be going bedy bye times in a min.

I agree, if you worry about it, you'll get ill. I think alot of illness is sycological (sp?).

I didn't even know this customer had been to Mexico. After i said what you been up to and he said his been to Mexico i was like SHIT and told him to stand back lol.

Tbh. I'm fine!! Would be fucking hellirous if i did catch it. Think how famous i'd be. name on the radio/ TV and be done for tests!

[JamesR]

Is this true :panic: ??

Other then that, i feel fine.

Like i said, just a tickle in my throat, like been working in a dusting environment though.

We would beat him easy imo ;)

And yeah but WWII mask is much more intimidating then a spray paint mask :P plus customers wouldnt bother talking shit to me then :)!

Why not go the whole way?

[shooorn94]

I still don't know what to think of it tbh:

Seem a bit uncertain don't you think? (http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/World-News/Mexico-Swine-Flu-Virus-Outbreak-Question-And-Answer/Article/200904415269473?lpos=World_News_News_Your_Way_Regi on_0&lid=NewsYourWay_ARTICLE_15269473_Mexico_Swine_Flu_ Virus_Outbreak%3A_Question_And_Answer)

We should be more prerpared for this than anything else tbh, five cases in the Uk and 70 odd being checked.

[JamesR]

Nuke mexico. Job done :hug:

[Mochachino]

if no ones mentioned it yet, wtf is going on with all the mexicans evaquating their country. Whne we had foot n mouth here, we didnt open the gates for the cows to go for a walk and spread it. In hospitals in the sealed rooms or whatever they are, we dont allow the patiants in there to go for a walk and spread it, seriously its bollox doing that.

Im never worried about things like this, bird flu etc but this one im actually a little bit worried about :(

[JamesR]

The only reason i am worried is becuase:

1. Its mexico, not the cleanest of places and doesnt have the best health service either.
2. British tourists.

[BenSilverSaxo]

Its the aporkalypse not swine flu

[flynnsvtr]

Im only worried as im going on a road trip New york - LA in 6 weeks and we go via the south route inc texas etc hope it doesnt spread like wildfire and they cancel even more flights and whatnot eeeeeeek!

[pjm300]

lol @ people more worried about their holidays than their lives

All media hype scare mongering stupid people IMO ... Is it really that bad.

"Will my dog catch swine flu?"
She should be dropped into Mexico ... Stupid bint.

Did you see in news they said "its not if the virus will come to europe, its how many will die.... could be hundreds or thousands"

Had to read it again was just like saying "You will die! Buy our newspaper to see if you live in the next episode of Curts life!"

[smittytom]

Pandemic doesn't mean panic it just means be cautious,
You could have a pandemic of anything its not a very good word really

[BenjaM]

Pandemic doesn't mean panic it just means be cautious,
You could have a pandemic of anything its not a very good word really

It doesnt mean be cautious at all. It means a sudden rise in the number of incidences(above the expected rate) within a region,or global in this case.

[PSPDan]

Pandemic doesn't mean panic it just means be cautious,
You could have a pandemic of anything its not a very good word really

Pandemic comes from the word pandemonium. Which has a definition of:


pandemonium |ˌpandəˈmōnēəm|
noun
wild and noisy disorder or confusion; uproar : pandemonium broke out.

Nah I'm joking they are probably unrelated.

On a more serious note a kid who lives literally 2 miles from my house has it. And I'm a part time cleaner at a primary school and it's like being a secret agent now. Getting briefed every two minutes on emergency pandemic procedures.. Which only seem to consist of disinfect EVERYTHING.




Who said pigs can't fly? I heard a pig flu in Mexico :homme:

[smittytom]

It doesnt mean be cautious at all. It means a sudden rise in the number of incidences(above the expected rate) within a region,or global in this case.

granted that is the technical lingo but tbh most people think it means everyone is screwed resulting in panic where as you just have to be cautious and just take the steps that are advised to try and stop/slow the spread of infection

[TU-Tuning]

It pisses me off that some people actually believe this shite lol.

[PSPDan]

It pisses me off that some people actually believe this shite lol.

+1.

It's a load of bollocks. I've said all along, I won't believe it until masses of people start dying. It's just more scaremongering from the media. Someone actually said to me today "The government isn't making it out to be as bad as it really is. They are really worried but don't want to cause mass panic" :wall:

Millions of people die from easily treatable diseases in third world countries every day. All this Swine flu shit is doing is highlighting how immoral we really are.. :)

[TU-Tuning]

Exactly its scare tactics, its worrying how easy it is for Governments to control masses of stupid people through the media. Like with bird flu, the factory that was on TV when the 'epidemic really took hold of the country' had exactly the same strain of birdflu 6 years before. No one gave a fuck because it isnt a threat :wall:.

[PSPDan]

It's taking people's minds off of the economy which is what I'm sure was intended. Although I would feel bad if it was true after all this :homme:

[TU-Tuning]

True, will just have to make sure I dont sleep with any pigs. Which is hard when your a Uni student and your trashed a lot

[DavoVTR]

If it stops me going to Cuba in October I'll be reasonably pissed off.

I'm unsure what to think of it, sure - the media are hyping it up a wee bit but for the World Health Organization to say "a pandemic is immenent" must mean something.

[goodall3518]

at the end of the day what are u scared of, you get flu, feel wank for a few days or weeks then recover....

cant be any worse than glandular fever, fuck me that was bad.

[trcygrdn]

They're worried about the rate that the virus has already mutated and the damage that'll be done if it mutates even more. The standard young, old and infirm will be succeptible (as usual) but also thoses in their 20's-30's. Having the flu jab may give you some antiviral protection but not much.

The guy that caught it was at a concert...

swine flu is shiit, the media have hyped it like people with hoodies are going to stab, rape and rob you! aha. but something like 12 people have swine flu atm and theres about 70 million people in the uk atm, also the media said 750,000 are going to die from it when really its about 40,000 and normal flu kills about 20,000 anyway so its not that big a deal. Don't read shitty newspapers like the sun! haa
