Surprisingly, there's lots of news on this "Swine Flu" http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&safe=off&client=opera&rls=en&hs=nbI&ei=cPvzSf6XIaPQMvnBrbMP&resnum=0&q=swine+flu&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=cvvzSfSjEpX2Mdmg5K0P&sa=X&oi=news_group&resnum=1&ct=title especially as the notification was coming from Paula, who presumably gets all her data from a fax machine.

JERUSALEM (AP) — The outbreak of swine flu should be renamed "Mexican" influenza in deference to Muslim and Jewish sensitivities over pork, said an Israeli health official Monday.
Deputy Health Minister Yakov Litzman said the reference to pigs is offensive to both religions and "we should call this Mexican flu and not swine flu," he told a news conference at a hospital in central Israel.
Both Judaism and Islam consider pigs unclean and forbid the eating of pork products.
Scientists are unsure where the new swine flu virus originally emerged, though it was identifed first in the United States. They say there is nothing about the virus that makes it "Mexican" and worry such a label would be stigmatizing.
Two Israelis who recently visited Mexico have been hospitalized with symptoms of the flu. Health authorities have not yet confirmed whether they actually have the virus.
The current strain of swine flu is thought to have originated in Mexico where more than 100 people have been killed by the disease so far.
Laboratories in the U.S. and Canada have confirmed that of the samples tested so far, the swine flu virus in Mexico and U.S. appear to be the same.

I think I am getting swine flu.
I think I have the swine flu up my butt, cuz everything I eat has been coming out the back way in about 3 hours for the past 2 days.
We're selling Tamiflu like it's going out of style.
Too bad it's totally ineffective against the swine flu.

This is from Dr. Gitterle in Wimberley , Texas
Subject: Flu Update from Dr. Gitterle
After I returned from a public health meeting yesterday with community leaders and school officials in Comal County , Heather suggested I send an update to everyone, because what we are hearing privately from the CDC and Health Department is so different from what you are hearing in the media. Some of you know some or maybe all of this, but I will just list what facts I know..
- The virus is infectious for about 2 days prior to symptom onset
- Virus sheds more than 7 days after symptom onset (possibly as long as 9 days) (this is unusual)
- Since it is such a novel (new) virus, there is no "herd immunity," so the "attack rate" is very high. This is the percentage of people who come down with a virus if exposed. Almost everyone who is exposed to this virus will become infected, though not all will be symptomatc. That is much higher than seasonal flu, which averages 10-15%. The "clinical attack rate" may be around 40-50%. This is the number of people who show symptoms. This is a huge number. It is hard to convey the seriousness of this.
- The virulence (deadliness) of this virus is as bad here as in Mexico , and there are folks on ventilators here in the US , right now. This has not been in the media, but a 23 month old near here is fighting for his life [since the writing of this, the toddler has deceased], and a pregnant woman just south of San Antonio is fighting for her life. In Mexico , these folks might have died already, but here in the US , folks are getting Tamiflu or Relenza quickly, and we have ready access to ventilators. What this means is that within a couple of weeks, regional hospitals will likely become overwhelmed.
- Some of the kids with positive cases in Comal County had more than 70 contacts before diagnosis.
- There are 10-25 times more actual cases (not "possible" cases -- actual), than what is being reported in the media. The way they fudge on reporting this is that it takes 3 days to get the confirmatory nod from the CDC on a given viral culture, but based on epidemiological grounds, we know that there are more than 10 cases for each "confirmed" case right now.
- During the night, we crossed the threshold for the definition of a WHO, Phase 6 global pandemic. This has not happened in any of our lifetimes so far. We are in uncharted territory.
- I expect President Obama will declare an emergency sometime in the next 72-96 hours. This may not happen, but if it doesn't, I will be surprised. When this happens, all public gathering will be cancelled for 10 days.
- I suggest all of us avoid public gatherings. Outdoor activities are not as likely to lead to infection. It is contained areas and close contact that are the biggest risk.
- Tamiflu is running out. There is a national stockpile, but it will have to be carefully managed, as it is not enough to treat the likely number of infections when this is full-blown. I don't think there is a big supply of Relenza, but I do not know those numbers. If I had to choose, I would take Relenza, as I think it gets more drug to the affected tissue than Tamiflu.
- You should avoid going to the ER if you think you have been exposed or are symptomatic. ER's south of here are becoming overwhelmed -- and I mean that -- already. It is coming in waves, but the waves are getting bigger.
- It appears that this flu produces a distinctive "hoarseness" in many victims. The symptoms, in general, match other flu's; namely, sore throat, body aches, headache, cough, and fever. Some have all these symptoms, while others may have only one or two.
- N-Acetyl-Cysteine -- a nutritional supplement available at the health food store or Wimberley Pharmacy, has been shown to prevent or lessen the severity of influenza. I suggest 1200mg, twice a day for adults, and 600mg twice a day in kids over 12. It would be hard to get kids under 12 to take it, but you could try opening the capsules and putting it on yogurt. For 40 pounds and up, 300-600 mg twice a day, for less than 40 pounds, half that.
- Oscillococinum, a homeopathic remedy, has been vindicated as quite effective in a large clinical trial in Europe , with an H1N1 variant. You can buy this at Hill Country Natural Foods, or the Wimberley Pharmacy.
I will try to keep everyone posted if I have any new information. Meanwhile, don't be afraid just avoid infection. The fewer people infected the easier it will be for our public officials to manage it.

I have a slight sore throat, a head ache, my neck and back hurt a little, a stuffy head, and occasional cough.
In fact, not a single pig has yet to be diagnosed with "swine" flu.
The one good feature from all this is that the price of pork should drop, since vast numbers of stupid people have stopped eating it, with the mistaken idea that the flu comes from eating pigs.
Maybe from kissing pigs, but certainly not from eating cooked meat.

I blame Obama, the Mexicans, and the Jews.
Yay, open borders!
The hysteria over this dumbfounds me
Less then a hundred people have died from being infected with Swine
How many people in the last week have died in Africa from Cholera, Typhoid & dysentery?
Yet I don’t hear anybody panicking about that & anyways thousands of people each year die from flu.
Anybody who’s getting their knickers in a twist about Swine Flu is severely insecure
Actually, the WHO is saying it's less than 10. The rest may have tested positive, but it wasn't the cause of death - pneumonia was.
That's a pretty big coincidence.
We're all going to die. Just admit it.
My classes had less than 50% attendance today after 3 e-mails were sent out from the Dean regarding one student who may have been infected with Swine Flu. I was supposed to have a Calc 3 exam this morning but it got pushed back a week. Fuck, now there's more, harder material on it too.
I blame Obama, the Mexicans, and the Jews.
Yay, open borders!
That's how me, and the 15 members of my immediate family got here!! :D
Linsey's got a serious case of the fine flu.
Cholera is the number one killer in the world, and is curable with about fifty cents worth of electrolytes. But, it doesn't make the news. It doesn't even have one of those ribbons that they assign the really popular diseases.

If thats in reference to me then know that i'm not a coding geek... maybe an alcoholic but i'm far from a coding geek. I just copied and pasted those statistics. As for coding I am in the progress of learning from the programmers I work with only cuz I recently broke up with my gf and the bar scene is getting in the way of me obtaining the skills to get involved in a decent career.
oh well i dont usually do forums anyways
