    So should we issue more than a travel warning and should we shut down the border?

    I heard on the news this morning that if it reaches pandemic level then it could affect up to 40% of Britain... Pretty scary stuff now

    I hope we have a thread for every death.

    Last year the flu killed 36000 Americans.

    Nobody is freaking out but I will return to this thread tomorrow and I bet you the 150 dead in Mexico will be 300and the Americans will be 5.

    Then by the end of the week it will be 700 mexicans and 25 Americans.

    So....

    Over/Under on deaths pls or GTFO:

    1. Mexicans by Sunday noon EST

    2. Americans by Sunday noon EST

    More people will be killed in the U.S. this year by falling tree branches than by the swine flu.

    Even if the death toll in Mexico reaches 1,000, how serious is that when you consider that Mexico City alone has like 20 million citizens?

    Just wash your hands as much as possible and BOOM, instant vaccine.

    I don't know about the rest of you, but i'm not worrying about this until the death toll reaches 7 digits, as in 1,000,000 ppl. We have 6 BILLION ppl on this fuckin earth, let's knock that down to maybe 2-3 billion, where it belongs.

    in case you missed it Obama has just requested 1.5 billlllion to fight swine flu. lol.

    not a level, i saw it on cnbc 10min ago. electing him was a level though. thank god he is going to save us all now.

    i guess this throws out my idea of lowering the unemployment rate by killing all the unemployed. then again thats what he WANTS you to think, 1.5 bill is just a big enough waste of money to not do ANYTHING anyhow, CLEARLY its just a coverup for any involvement.
