Mexican flu outbreak

[Technologic]

You're all forgetting they didn't have antivirals in 1918 lol

[efq]

We're all forgetting they admitted this antiviral won't solve the problem. It stops symptoms but you still have the disease which they can't get rid of.

[Fez]

So you die from the actual disease, not the symptoms... isn't that impossible?

Also, I'm wearing a medical mask from now on - for the lulz. Plus I'll be safe, even though that's not my intention.

[-Heart]

The last few days I've been excited about this but now nobody is dieing so I'm a bit depressed .

[Fez]

Ah, no deaths makes you sad

Pandemic Level has been raised by WHO to level 5, next level is a full pandemic.

WHO are holding a emergency news conference at 21:00

Also, WHO are reconsidering that Mexico was the origin of the start of this outbreak after person in Spain had not been to Mexico or near anyone who has.

The CDC recommends the use of Tamiflu (oseltamivir) or Relenza (zanamivir) for the treatment and/or prevention of infection with swine influenza viruses, however, the majority of people infected with the virus make a full recovery without requiring medical attention or antiviral drugs.[38] The virus isolates that have been tested from the US and Mexico are however resistant to amantadine and rimantadine.[39] If a person gets sick, antiviral drugs can make the illness milder and make the patient feel better faster. They may also prevent serious flu complications. For treatment, antiviral drugs work best if started soon after getting sick (within 2 days of symptoms).

Wherever they admitted this, I would LOVE to know. Was it the government by any chance? The same government who are going to buy masks because 'theyre effective for containing the virus'? :rolleyes:

Also, the level hasnt been raised yet. Learn to read, its according to sources it might get raised.

Stop making the virus sound like the be all and end all, cuz its really not. :@

EDIT: ALSO, WHAT THE HELL? THE REASON THEY MIGHT BE RAISING THE LEVEL IS BECAUSE THEY THINK A SPANISH PERSON MAY HAVE CONTRACTED IT FROM SOMEONE WHO VISITED MEXICO. UGHHHHH!!!!!!!!
