Mexican flu outbreak

[-:Undertaker:-]

read, incompetent fool.

they would have a bad immune system...

Do you know these people personally, have they told you their immune systems are terrible? - no they haven't, and now we can see your just making excuses to keep alive whatever opposition your trying to put up to this topic.

It can affect anyone.

k it DOES NOT AFFECT US

IT ONLY AFFECTS PEOPLE WITH BAD IMMUNE SYSTEMS/ARE POORLY/ARE SICK

IT WILL AFFECT THE ELDERLY AND VERY YOUNG

Wow you said the completely opposite.
The Swine Flu effects the middle age and healthy people the most. Elderly and Young are less likely to die from it. Thats why its confusing scientists.

Read about it.

The chances of this baby dying just by swine flu is very unlikely. I wouldn't be suprised if it died from pneumonia. Babies aren't very immune from flu and a baby getting the regular, winter flu would cause great harm to a baby and IF they do die, it's because of pneumonia, not the flu itself. It's like smoking or having a stroke, eventually you die from pneumonia (usually is the case, I lost my grandad and dad to pneumonia). Besides, this baby wasn't one of the first to get the flu in the US. It'll only be shocking if someone older with a proper immune system dies.

The most cases in Mexico are the middle age and healthy people.

When this spreads into hundreds in countrys is when you start seeing the increase in deaths.

The fact that's barely killed anyone is just stupid. People are just taking it out of proportion..
Thanks to the media.

I don't want to start an arguement here but your confusing me so much because you keep contradicting yourself one minute your saying it will only kill people between the ages of 20-45 then your agreeing with Undertaker who says it could infect anyone even people who are as young as babies etc when he seems to be 'winning' the debate and now Gomme has said something about babies being vunrable to infections anyway you are saying most people who have been effected in Mexico are middle aged again I'm sooo confused :S

May I also point out that you can have an amazingly good immune system and still get flu Flu attacks and goes through an immune system, which is why anyone can get it. Immunity is just a tiny barrier. Some illnesses infact take out (or shut down) the immune system to allow other illnesses to take over. Not all illnesses have this "black and white" take on things. They're all random. Think of yourself as a computer. A firewall is there only to prevent a virus getting through (worm, whatever, technicalities aren't too important) while some bypass it.

I have never said babies are likely to get infected, I'll agree if you can quote me.

I don't think you may of said it, but you seem to of went along with it. Below is a post you made on page 28 quoting an unknown source (which is also quoted within a quote) :

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.

It seems to attack anyone of any age, so your "source" is completely wrong, considering the strain has resulted in deaths of any age group. So your source is wrong it seems, considering a young child died. So your source which says "this strain resulted in deaths only in people between the ages of 25 and 50," is wrong.

Yes but the middle age and healthiest are at a higher risk.
