Get ready......this administration will manipulate fear as none other has. Untill we all come to the realization that only ObamaMessiah can save us and the whole world and we surrender any and all personal freedoms for the benifit of his agenda. :cry: don't mean to hijack the thread but that is what I see in this whole mess.

Paul, you are dead on......

Mexico recanted it's death count last night. It's down from 179 to 17. What a dramatic drop.

Looks like Obamessiah has raised some dead already.

Please God, save us from this barbarian.,

If Biden don't keep his trap shut the Obama administration might put him on a plane that will mysteriously crash and then the autopsy will show he died of a bullet to the head and not a plane crash thus Biden would be a casualty of the swine flu! Yes that sounds very familiar. Remember the Clinton admin. and Ron Brown?

Dalebert, I do not claim to be an expert here and I am in no way attempting to further the undue fear that has been caused by this.

So to answer your question; this particular "swine" flu is not the same as the one that touched the world a few years ago. It does carry a strain of it, but it also contains two other strains of influenza that when combined such as it is is non-resistant to our current 4th generation antibiotics. There are only two such antibiotics that currently are being used and neither with touch this form of the flu. So what they are using to scare people is that there is presently no treatment for it. Which may have a very thin thread of truth in it but is extremely misleading.

My understanding of what I have read is the ones who have died due to this strain of flu have had pre-existing illnesses that would make their immune system inadequate to overcome it. Those who have contracted this strain and have had otherwise healthy immune systems have survived.

The easiest thing for this administration to do would be to promote proper hand washing technique and promote the use us the sanitary hand treatments in between. That is unless you have the desire to promote fear in the hearts of those who are hanging on your every word.

To go along with the hand washing thing it would be wise to use some of momma's good old-fashioned teaching of covering your mouth when you cough and or sneeze and then immediately wash them properly or at the least use sanitizer.

Now, I am only a non practicing paramedic and jinjer and others here have a much more qualified education that could possibly responed with more up to date medical information but from my stand-point this is pretty much what it all boils down to:

A Presidential Administration that desires to fill it constituents with fear for the purpose of self edification.

just my .02 worth....


God bless.

Influenza viruses mutate every year. So, every year we have flu virus that is not in the vaccine. The vaccine is our best guess of what is coming, sometimes they miss it. Anti-virals do not cure any type of flu, they only lessen the symptoms and possibly complications for some.

I still think it is a made up crisis, which others have expressed here.

Mexico reduces suspected flu death toll to 101

Perhaps we are looking at another case of HYPE?

I'm confused. I thought the flu even this current new combo strain was a virus and virus are not really affected by antibiotics. :? Are you talking about the vaccines, or the antivirals? Wait it is responding to the antivirals.

Honestly, I ain't skeered. If I catch it, I will be sick for 2 or 3 days and then I will be fine. I believe it may even be good to catch it and defeat it with your body, Oh unless it kills you, then it may not be be good to catch it. :twisted: Where is "The Razer" when you need him, I am babbling on....

Serious question about the Antibiotics though, I have no idea what you were talking about and it kind of went against all my limited knowledge about viruses and bacterial infections.
