    In New York up to nine people from a school party tested positive for what is believed to be swine flu after returning from a trip to Mexico.


    And in London a member of a British Airways cabin crew was taken to hospital with "flu-like symptoms" after falling ill on a flight from Mexico City to Heathrow.

    That's a bit close to home methinks.

    AAAhhhh..chhoooooo..

    Red alert! Red alert!
    It's a catastrophe
    But Don't worry.....Don't panic
    Ain't nothin' goin' on but history, yeah
    But it's alright, don't panic.





    Actually, reports say infections have been confirmed in London and New York, and that more like 200 have died in Mexico, so yeah, we're boned.

    yay! I love it when the same story gets posted many times. It's as if people do it on purpose or something.

    I'd say ibtl but I've a feeling the mods have gone to bed meaning this thread will float around full of nonsense for another few hours.

    If you ever played the web gamme pandemic you would know that if the virus is detected this early and a state of emergency is declared that you (the virus) have no chance of wiping out the human race as you wont have time to kill 100% of all humans before they become innoculated.

    Although theres still that slight change the vaccine will fail and you mutate and become untreatable. Then yeah we as humans are pretty boned.

    Serious question:

    In Mexico they are handing out facemasks to everyone, is that to protect the user or to prevent the user infecting others.

    In other words who does the mask protect, the wearer or those around, assuming the wearer is already infected?

    These reports are assuming that these people have the swine flu, it could be that they just have a cold!

    Wait for the results before panicing.

    60 People died out of 1000+ confirmed cases. Doesn't sound particularly deadly for an influenza. Just get plenty of fluids and bed rest and you'll be fine.

    Two confirmed cases in Kansas. It's spread fairly fast since it's been discovered.
