    I'm not worried about this flu. I am worried about the dreams I've been having though - in them, I'm wandering through a cornfield and I can hear this old woman singing. Seems peaceful enough but then I end up being chased by some scary dude whose face I can't see. Ah well, I'm sure it's just the crystal meth.

    This swine fever going to humans was how the spanish flu pandemic started. Hope that's just a coincidence...although we could probably do with a cut in world population. Just kind of sucks when you're in the demographic this thing likes killing.

    Nah!!

    The government's too cheap for that! They'll bring over a couple of dozen Mexicans and put them to work in the dole offices, interviewing infecting claimants.

    This could be very worrying, especially to Pighead as it's "swine flu".

    But on the other hand, it'll sort out the recession!

    thats pretty sick

    60 deaths out of roughly 1000 infected. That's 6%. For comparison, pneumonia has a mortality rate of about 5%.

    The latest US figures have about 10 cases, all but one have recovered, one still in hospital.

    So appears treatable if caught early. (I could phrase that better)

    We're all going to die!!!...Don't panic!!!!!........Don't panic!!!!.



    A new flu virus suspected of killing at least 60 people in Mexico has the potential to become a pandemic, the World Health Organization's chief says. Margaret Chan said the outbreak was a "health emergency of international concern" and must be closely monitored.
