Uh Oh We're in Trouble? First H1N1 Cytokine Storm/Other Problems

I liked your post so much, that I'll compliment it with something along the same lines.

In the U.S. nearly 43,000 people are killed in auto accidents each year; and we're all still driving cars.

Fuck Swine Flu, we need to teach people how to fucking drive.

AAA report says that car accidents cost Americans $164.2 B. - Mar. 5, 2008 AAA Report.

I made this point two pages ago stop stealing my ideas goddamnit.

I work for AAA. Those numbers are fake

Vajra is right. Quit your jobs, sell all your possessions to buy more guns and ammo. Find a cave in the mountains to ride out the inevitable decimation of the human population. It is not too late to save yourselves, but it soon will be.

Remember: They are all infected, shoot on sight.

It's OK, you can generally get to the Safe Rooms if you just hold the Melee Button.

There's a fairly simple way to cut all this shit off now. Compare the deaths from swine flu to the deaths from regular flu. But you don't see people freaking out about regular flu.......

Ok I am in agreement with everyone here that the swine flu panic is more of an epidemic than the swine flu itself however I must point out that looking at total number of deaths for a disease is misleading. A more accurate way to look at it is the percentage of the death rate. I do not know what the mortality rate of swine flu is so I don't know how it compares to the regular flu.

A disease that has only killed 10 people may sound great compared to 30,000 dead from another disease but it sounds less great if the first disease only infected 20 people and the second infected 100,000,000.

Pro tip: You can save ammo by using stun batons.

I shoulda gone into a little more detail earlier but the Case Fatality Ratio (CFR in my earlier post) seems to be a pretty good estimate of deaths that were actually caused by this version of swine flu. For this epidemic the CFR thus far is ~0.4%, while seasonal flu is usually ~0.1%. The worst pandemics in history had CFRs ~2.5 - 5%.

I'm honestly not sure how that number relates to the mortality but I know there's a post on that effect measure blog (you may have to go back to some previous posts) that explains it in good detail and can give you some indication about how severe (or not) 0.4% is.

For what it's worth, every person in the US that has died due to swine flu had preexisting health conditions.

the free masons and the illuminate actually created the swine flu in a lab to send the world into chaos to establish to NWO. Vajra is among the only still alive to have figured this out

You've got nothing! We'll never honor those bogus treaties!

Just remember Virtue, you humans aren't in the same league as us swinians.

Per your above post, GSK is already making the vaccine.

Just because 1 company (GSK (GlaxoSmithKline)) is producing doesn't mean everyone else is doing that yet.

Chan said WHO had not yet given manufacturers the signal to produce a specific swine flu vaccine for the new flu strain, but said it was essential that countries be very careful with their medical resources

I also read somewhere that they can only manufacture 1 vaccine at a time, so we're going to need a big group effort for ppl to finish production on time.

Just because 1 company (GSK (GlaxoSmithKline)) is producing doesn't mean everyone else is doing that yet.

And that goes directly against the crap you were spouting earlier about noone making the vaccine and there going to definitely be a massive shortage. Even the WHO is taking a step back and realizing that this most likely will not be a problem until the next standard flu season. It is far better to attempt to produce a better vaccine, as opposed to more crappy vaccine (but in the event people need it early, they are even starting production now). Those in charge seem to be moderately on the ball for this one.

I'd keep telling you to chill out, but influenza typically does better in lower temperatures than higher ones~

No wait, chill out.

The WHO won't get fooled again.

I heard that Val Kilmer is the first confirmed Celebrity with Swine Flu

He said it was so easy to get the Swine Flu even a Cavemen can do it

He now recovering from the Flu, but it looks like there is some weird side effects, Porkitis, the Flu made is body turn into fat.

This is exactly what I was talking about (CFR = mortality rate) it is the ratio of deaths per 100 infected. By your numbers swine flu is nowhere near any of the worst pandemics but it is quite a bit higher than the regular flu.
