Mexican flu outbreak

I don't think we have anything to worry about. No-one outside Mexico is dying, so the virus that has spread can't be that harmful.

I don't see how people are overeacting to this, its spread worldwide in just a few days, can swap from human to human and is rapidly spreading everyday. Gordon Brown has apparently said hes doing "everything his government can" - I think its time to worry after Gordon Brown says theres no need to panic, afterall we were supposed to have confidence in his economic policy and looks what that turned into.

I wish it would wipe everyone out so we don't get annoying topics like this one. All I can see post after post from this topic is arguments, someone practically e-bullied Visa too.


Oh and Voiding: "On April 27, a 7-year-old, a 24-year-old, and a 3-month-old in North Texas were confirmed to have swine flu." Please get facts before posting that it is only affecting 20-40 year olds.. (all 3 are recovering).

Really? Internet? Forums? Social Networks? Rumours? Overreactions? False information? I never noticed.

If your don't like these topics then don't click on the thread? Simple.

Oh yeah, they may have been affected but the chances are 20-45 are more likely, understood?

Unlike what usually happens in cases of influenza, which inflict a greater number of deaths between the elderly and the children, this strain resulted in deaths only in people between the ages of 25 and 50.

I change my previous post about nuking Mexico to "Nuke Mexico & USA".

Hundreds of children are suspected of having swine flu and Arnie has declared a state of emergency in California.
