And now an earthquake.
as people say... in the DF its "raining over wetland" or soemthing like that...
still 5. something... light tremor... (something that doesn't bring buildings down is light, and since there is opanic from the sickness people really didn't took a lot of attention on the tremor)
here in the North there are rummors of infections... still little confirmation, and paranoia is running all its lenght
for those interested to see the problem in the world, check google: swine flu map
since i am half a country away from the highest concentration of the infection i will nto say if its hard or not... my sister is in there and she is taking it lightly (which get my parents on their nerves), a friend has a friend there, his father is a doctor and is quite worried since she is sick...
so... really no much idea in how things really are

dude... you are not only sick... but missinformed...
only 20 cases has been confirmed to come from the dissease... ok its hard to pin down the disease long after the death
and really there are worst places to live than Ciudad de Mexico (ok its not paradise either)
and if this were true... in the end... considering how fast epidemies propagate in a globaliced world... you might be coming close to someone infected in but a couple of days... so... stop wishing what might happen to you too

I saw a place on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives that does chili cheese fries using a chili verde made with smoked pork butt and monterey jack cheese. I'm going to try making that at home.
Wipes pool of salivary drippings off of keyboard. You had me at chili cheese fries, but you sealed our relationship with chili verde...

Oh, and I don't mean to sound like I'm making light of your problems or anything; I'm in Dallas, Tx, got 3 kids, and I'm not very cheery about the whole situation.

Where I live, we've had no cases so far, but I'm getting my stuff ready just in case our dead come back from the grave and this turns into a zombie movie, 'cause it feels like it. There are almost no flu medicines left, nor facemasks left in town.
But I wouldn't know. I have family in Mexico City and they tell me people are going ballistic. I live far away from DF (Mexico City), since I swore I'd never be back to that part of my country unless my life depended on it.
Échale ganas, Montalve, y buena suerte con tu hermana =D

Sydney, Australia. While we do have Chips-&-Gravy and Cheezy Fries here, I don't think I've ever found all three in the same dish at once.
And Poutine looks infinitely more appetising than our own Pie Floater.

I used to get a frozen meat pie cut the top off add mashed potato cheese and bacon then put the lid back put it in the oven (cooking hint: if you are cooking a pastry brush it with milk before you put it in the oven it makes the pastry lighter and crunchier) on and then wander down to the fish and chip shop buy some chips and gravy when I got back the pie was ready for me to float it in the chips and gravy.
Dingo I think you have sunk one too many Darwin stubbies Its New South Welshmen not Whalers.... Its like calling you A Northern Territorial...just wrong.
A pie, chips, gravy and some beer .....hungry got to go.

Zombie Survival Manual says crowbar's best weapon. You can take out a zombie in the head AND it's useful for opening locked doors when you're trying to flee from them.
useful yes... better a shotgun...
with the crowbar you can kill the zombie... but he might bite you before that... shotgun keeps him away

All of the sudden cases are sprouting up like crazy here in Rochester, NY. Damn Spring-breakers... I say we should all get our revenge by eating a ham tonight.
Sometimes, I think laughing at something is the best way to say "I will not be dominated by fear."
My wife is a nurse, lots of people coming in telling the doctor they have it, but they don't. Mostly it's standard flu, cold, or a sniffle not worth the time. I live in the Catskills but I have an Uncle in Rochester still I think most of the "cases" you are hearing about right now aren't real. They may become real but right now not so much so.

First U.S. death has happened because of this virus. A young child in Texas.
Um, yeah, that's what I've been saying. And provided a link.

Suspected cases, but not confirmed. Fair enough.
I am sticking with my ham/revenge plot.

Well I am hoping they aren't right. I'm game for the ham plot, I like ham. My wife though is not a fan.

Thanks on the ones wishing health. I'm going Biohazard here, mask and gloves. Shotgun and crowbar still pending, but I work on a hardware store (not the computer kind of hardware), so that shouldn't be a problem.
On the other hand, so far, authorities are saying that death because of the virus is due to the fact that people dismissed it as normal flu and didn't get checked until it was too late, for Mexico has enough vaccines and the virus is controllable if found early enough. Let's hope this gets controlled, I'm amazed of how many countries have gotten it so far.
Stay safe, all of you.

Indeed, the important thing is to get to a doctor if you're feeling ill. Might be nothing but a cold, but walk in get checked be safe.
If possible do not walk in. If you do happen to be infected, you just spread it around the only people who can help you. Better to phone for a consultation over the phone and be ready to take your temperature and tell them the result.

I don't know, if I am sick I will have a lot of the signs of it. Is there a difinitive way to self check? If so they might as well tell us what it is.

As to 2-3% being 'better' in a population of 350,000,000 US that's still 7-12 million dead. Hardly a laughing matter.
It's 2-3% of those infected die, not 2-3% of the total population. It's a lot more likely that it's only be 1-2 million. Still a lot, I understand...but let's not get TOO carried away.

A regular case of the flu could produce many of those. But thanks for the info.

It is still a flu virus. The difference is in its genes that might allow it to overcome built-up resistances.

Now that Texas has fallen to this Plague, I wish to officially issue an edict to the surviving US states:
NUKE UM IF YA GOT UM!
"This Pig flu has been created by Muslims to pick off all you pork Eaters." Sheeze! I realy hope this isnt man made. Biowarfare is just going to piss Barack the Butcher off.
