And a news media playing it up as something it apparently isn't. |

You guys don't get it... the issue isn't how many people are getting it now, but how it will mix in with the other flu strains for our normal flu season in the fall/winter. Go back and check out the site now, as the numbers of people in the USA who have it are climbing rapidly. Yes, the severity of the flu is not as intense as, say, avian flu, but it is highly, highly contagious. The "perfect storm" of flu is to have this strain mix with the "normal" flu, which currently kills 36,000 Americans every year in the fall (which is what many doctors are predicting will happen) and then you have a very contagious flu that mixes with a more severe flu. That packs a pretty hefty punch. While you all think everyone is hyping this, it is essential that scientists understand how this flu spreads and in what patterns, so that if a more serious (ie: recombined) strain comes along, we as a society know how to react and where to attempt to head it off. I believe that the media has not actually talked about this enough, as is indicated by all of the cases that are being reported late in their cycle. Go check http://flutracker.rhizalabs.com and see how it has been spreading over the past week. This is way bigger than some invention of the media. -josh |

I'm wondering: Was George Carlin a vegan? |

But, but, Ante. Isn't that what your kind wants? Something to eradicate humans from the face of the Earth so your precious little critters can reign free and have their humanistic rights preserved for all time? Heck, I would think you'd be crawling atop a soap box to spread the word about how to infect even more people ... P.S.: Does this mean now you are going to flood this forum with your rhetoric, too? |

Ante quoted.............. I pray that mad cow disease will come to this country and completely wipe out the hamburger criminals – George Carlin (source ********************* To even think that someone could spout such evil nauseates me. The best physician I had.....and who saved my life BTW..... was the father of a daughter who suffered terribly with the human version of the disease. He resigned so he could care for her 24/7 until she died abt 2 years later. He then committed suicide. People who flippantly or otherwise wish such disasters on the World are not fit to live...or even call themselves human beings IMO. |

Ante's trolling, J. He's fishing for a response, so he can therein claim how awful we all are to do so. My guess, offhand, is that he'll now claim he's just quoting Carlin, so he's good to go, since all he did was post it. Not REALLY his thought, at all, don't ya know.

And, if Ante and those like him are so "in" to the decimation of mankind, why set a good example by starting with themselves? |
