It sounds pretty fucking serious

Doctor Dre · 10-06-2005, 07:32 PM

5 % of us was the 1918 flu ... they are talking about 50 % here.

Katsondaprowl · 10-06-2005, 07:33 PM

Well I'm not dead yet, but I maybe by the time I get my flu shot or after so I cannot confirm nor deny that statement.

My advice is to charge those credit cards to the max while you still have time to enjoy it.

Cogitator · 10-06-2005, 07:36 PM

I believe it. I've been fighting the flu for a month now. I've been functional, but barely. Everyone at work has been feeling real bad as well, with body pains and the whole works. This happens every 60 years (timed with the cycle of the Sun...interesting)

There are a bunch of sail boats in the marina a few blocks from me... If that shit hit's the fan.. I'm picking my favorite boat from the lot and will find a few hotties for the ride. Then I'll be heading to some Islands I know of in the middle of no where.

I'll then do my best to repopulate the planet with the hotties I take a long.

That's a pretty good idea...I like it

1968 with the Hong Kong Flu outbreak. In 1957, the Asian flu pandemic resulted in about 70,000 deaths. The most deadly influenza pandemic outbreak was the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, which caused illness in roughly 20 to 40 percent of the world's population and more than 50 million deaths worldwide. Between September 1918 and April 1919, approximately 675,000 deaths from the Spanish flu occurred in the United States alone.

all we can really do, at this point is get as healthy as you can...vitamins, fruits and veggies. Wash your hands all the time and carry antibacterial gel.

I was at the grocery store the other day, and they have a little wipes despensor by the shopping carts, the only people I seen use it was the elderly.

I use to work for Dillards for years and I can't believe how many females, didn't wash their hands! Then they went on to touch the damn door handle, grrrr!

Use your paper towels that you used to dry your hands off with, to open that nasty ass handle!

We own a 1929 custom modified tugboat.

So I think it's a good idea.

hype, hype and more hype. sure its a possiblily but it has been for some time. its not new yet, its been around for a while but if it mutates as they say we could be fucked.

If something like this hits, being prepared is vital for the survival of humans. That being said, how many Bush supporters are confident that the current White House could implement safety measures?

everyyear there's multiple BS theories on the next killer flu to wipe out a huge % of the population and so far it aint happened, i aint holdin my breath for this one either.

BeatingSkull · 10-06-2005, 09:16 PM

i know what percentage of the population i'd like to see it wipe out, but i'm keeping that though to myself

smack · 10-06-2005, 09:17 PM

i gotta say, i am not that concerned. i am young and relatively healthy.

but if i die, shit happens i suppose.

cheers.

Probono · 10-06-2005, 09:42 PM

It is not a matter of if, it is a matter of when. They have feared the repeat of the 1918 pandemic for years. When a similar virus happens it will spread so quickly due to modern transportation that the effects will be catastophic.

The world economy will slow, millions will die, if it is like the 1918 strain age and health will not be an issue, that virus was indiscriminate. It will be a question of vaccine creation, never easy because of the lead time required, luck and genetics who lives and who dies.

In the grand scheme of things getting rid of a few hundred million humans will help the earth regenerate! Housing prices will drop too!

You have to take any virus that doesn't have a vaccine in sufficient quantities to protect the population extremely seriously.

Ace-wtf · 10-07-2005, 02:06 AM

the flu is supposed to be controlled and they revived to make a vaccine

I see only good things for our business because of this. People will be too afraid to go out, and they'll stay home, get bored, surf porn, and subscribe! ;)

sleazybunny · 10-07-2005, 04:50 AM

It's all media hype about a threat that's been there for years. Only reason it's in the news now is cus a good old US Army Lab has recreated the 1918 Spanish Flu to "study it and develop a vaccine".

"But oh by the way we'll post its genetic codes etc on the web so any nutbar in a decent lab can copy it and release it!! "

Good move. !?!?!?

Seriously though. It isn't worth worrying about. You may as well worry about the planet being hit by a giant meteor. All things you have no control over.

Only true to the extent that the recreation of that virus has provided a "hook" for broader stories, as did Bush's recent announcement that he may use the military to help with vaccination in the event of an epidemic.

The H5N1 bird flu began spreading across Asia in 2003 and it has now reached Indonesia (where it has already caused human deaths) and Russia. Although no-one can be sure if it will develop into a global pandemic, a couple of weeks ago I read that some Japanese scientists believe the spread is close to a critical mass that will make its further spread inevitable.

The bad news is that in late September, there was a Reuters article from Hong Kong stating that flu strains passed to humans in Japan and Vietnam were proving resistant to Tamiflu. Apparently injectible forms of Relenza are still effective, but it was reported on the BBC earlier this week that one of the problems is that until the exact strain which passes to a large number of humans is identified, the effectiveness of vaccines cannot be known. Another is that by the time useful vaccines are available in large numbers, the virus is likely to have mutated.

Not true. If we look at the Spanish flu in 1918, those who died were between 20 and 40 years old.
