Swine flu pandemic imminent

From MSNBC:

The World Health Organization raised its pandemic alert for swine flu to the second highest level Wednesday, meaning that it believes a global outbreak of the disease is imminent.

A phase 5 alert means there is sustained transmission among people in at least two countries. Once the virus shows effective transmission in two different regions of the world, a full pandemic outbreak — level 6 — would be declared, meaning a global epidemic of a new and deadly disease.

You are out of your mind. The last time we had a flu pandemic 20 million died worldwide, others were damaged for life.

The book, "Awakenings" chronicled patients who were temporarily awakened from comas caused by this flu. They had been in a vegetative state for years as a result of the brain damage caused by Spanish influenza.

Its the only way we can stop the creation, and exploitation, of a permanment dark-skinned underclass.

If Brooklyn Heights trust babies start to catch it from their nannies, we might stop this rot of Amercian society -- and unhealthy dependence on illegal labor -- in its tracks.

I don't give two shits for Crowley and the machine tweeding the hell out of Queens.

This should be laid on their doorstep.

Please do yourself a favor and read some history and some basic science texts. The primary reservoir for the more exotic types of the flu are either pigs, birds or both. Typically the types of flu that can cross species are particularly virulent.

Repeat, birds, and pigs, not people, dark-skinned or otherwise.

Commissar Death and Taxes is having orgasms (to the extent that a dwarf android with neither penis nor vagina can experience) at the prospect of large numbers of dead children. He always makes it plain that he loathes children most of all.

He thought that when people said he would have a third term "when pigs fly" were wrong until he heard that "swine flew."

Then he heard that a pandemic was imminent, and he was giddy with sphincter squeezing joy, thinking this was a new form of eminent domain.

He IS just a dumbass, you know. We CAN be rid of him on November 3rd.

And then we can get rid of all the illegal aliens who transmitted this illness and the most virulent form of TB.

Be very careful with this subject.

Comparing a 1919 flu to this is foolish. There was no air travel back then. And population densities were much lower in most of the world.

And early estimates of 20 million dead may be understimated by quite a bit. More recent numbers indicate closer to 40 million.

I think this virus was made in a bio-lab so the REX84 Executive Orders may be enacted.

Here are a few

EXECUTIVE ORDER 10990 - allows the government to take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 10995 - allows the government to seize and control the communication media.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 10997 - allows the government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels and minerals.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 10998 - allows the government to seize all means of transportation, including personal cars, trucks or vehicles of any kind and total control over all highways, seaports, and waterways.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 10999 - allows the government to take over all food resources and farms.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11000 - allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision.

4 DNA strands of both Asian and N American virus's spliced together ?
How can that happen in nature ?

I believe this virus is a select designed weapon that was planted, stolen or escaped.

NeroBloomberg fiddles while NYC burns; check his update on the nyc.gov website. The Feds and the state have have declared a crisis, but not Mike. Tourism biz, perhaps?

yes Queens is a hotspot for this, and future epidemics becuase of all those pigs running around the borough.

You can see them on the 7 train. Black greasy hair, Indian eyes, almost always grossly overweight, and ugly ass skin tight clothes.

Please be aware that your prejudice, that this is a disease of bad people, dark people, "the other" is putting you at risk. Pride goeth before a fall.

In previous epidemics of this kind, the primary victims have been people in their prime working years, not, "the old", "excess eaters", "the weak", "the excess."

Only an intelligent and swift response will put this genie back in its bottle, not panic, not prejudice, not arrogance and not overconfidence.

Perhaps the recent Air Force #1 flyover in lower Manhattan was intended as "comic relief" to detract New Yorkers from the specter of a lab engineered virus introduced by real terrorists.

It is much easier to send a carrier of a disease into any country than to launch a sequel of 9-11!

Radiation, water or airborne toxins are easier to monitor with the new high tech devices.

Be afraid...BE VERY AFRAID...

in an overly permissive society who prefers to be 100% politically correct all of the time than take basic precautions to protect its citizenry!

Mayor Bum-turd and his wealthy pals have already gotten their swine flu vaccine...custom produced for them in a remote Swiss alpine lab.

And their supplies of "Tamaflu" are well stocked.

So when the lower classes are thinned out by swine flu (red-lining their nabes wasn't fast enough to remove them) the upper classes can move in and easily displace the remaining
"po-folk".

Sound a little "James Bond-esque"?

Well...maybe not!

Is it possible to be more paranoid than this?

Since I don't rent to them, hire them, get funding for programs for them, I can state my mind.

How refreshing! Give it a try people! Its exhilarating!

Besides, since this crap supported by my taxes and I am an American citizen, I can say anything I want.

Except, of course, in cities such as New York. Where densities were much higher in the 19-teens than nowadays.

In 4/5 of the City, they weren't.

So if I understand correctly: The federal government, in coordination with Mayor Bloomberg and Osama Bin Laden, engineered a virus, gave it to a pig in Mexico during Spring Break, so that vacationing Catholic School could bring it back to New York and infect the immigrants and underclasses of the city, so then Obama can declare martial law, seize my Toyota, and put me in a concentration camp.

This blog doesn't disappoint.

Of course you have the right to say whatever you want. Keep on keeping on!

Of course, I have the same right to criticize your racist comments.

The 'racist' tag is something that is in your mind.

There are 20 million people living in Mexico City! Wow!!!

"Bustling, vibrant" neighborhoods always get hit the worst!

Flushing is "vibrant and bustling"!

And Mayor Bum-turd wants a million more people swarming into NYC by the year 2030?

Eh...if he's still alive he'll be sitting on the beach in his Bermuda compound sipping pina coladas (intravenously?)!

What ever happened
to that US government
bio-lab on Plum Island,
way out past Montauk environs?

Wasn't that was home to samples of some of the most infectious diseases known to Man (and Woman) including that historical strain of SMALLPOX"? !!!

Geez, Cheney's gone, but here we gone with more scare the shit out of the public hysteria about a strain of flu that's out of season. Do we concentrate on the CDC analysis? Hell no!!!! We go on a rampage calling each other racists. If the word did not exist, you assholes wouldn't know what to do.

Can we have a dispassionate discussion of the spread and relative danger of a disease which appears to have had its origin in Mexico? Please?
