Swine Flu Map

    For any of you who are watching the outbreak of Swine Flu, here is a map which monitors the swine flu outbreak world wide.

    There are suspected cases in France and Israel, and several people are being tested in Nova Scotia.


    It's worldwide people.

    But remember, the normal flu season in America kills 40,000 people a year, so don't panic.

    ~EDIT: I started a new thread, because I think this thread should be for reporting new outbreaks as they occur, rather then discussing the possible ramifications, and responses, as the other thread has done.

    I can't find a Legend for the map.

    What justifies the difference in the yellow tags and the pink ones?

    Very strange that Africa is not at the races with the swine flu. Not a single case.

    Im not worried. We had this a couple of years ago it was called "Blue Flu".

    There are a lot of benefits like not having to worry about being caught drink driving! Deadly!

    Pfft, this is just a slow news week for the media. Remember the frenzy they whipped us all up into about Avian Bird Flu?

    Confirmed cases in Scotland.
    Two people have tested positive for swine flu in Britain, the Scottish health minister has confirmed.
    The pair were admitted to hospital in Airdrie, Scotland, to undergo tests after returning from Mexico, where more than 100 people have died from the illness.

    Yeah I was watching BBC earlier and they announced that they would have "test results" from some poor unfortunate during the programme. It was like watching the X factor or Big brother.

    I took the liberty of putting together a swine flu warning sign. Feel free to use it however you wish. Finally I can keep people from coming and knocking on my door looking for money and such.
