Lemmy mocks the mortal weakness of our flesh whilst sleeping with all our women. He's a cruel, but fair god.

And I look for any excuse to break open the good boxes.

The Legend of Lemmy, I mean....not the Legend on Internet boxes.

Lemmy could almost be a match for you, Tom...

Almost...

This "pandemic" is 100% being caused by the media.

This is ridiculous.

I know I seem like I'm wearing a tinfoil hat by saying this, but it's all too familiar:

Y2K anyone?

Terrify the masses with a potential medical apocalypse. When people are frightened, they consume. What are the vast majority of commercials that air during the "news"? Pharmaceuticals and food...

Just sayin....

Ridiculous is correct. This girl on the train started coughing and everyone stared at her. So I started telling my gf (aloud) "don't know why they are so worried about her, I have the swine flu.

Just talked to my ex about this. she is the infection control nurse for one of the local hospitals,s o to say she's been busy is an understatement.

she said the main reason for concern, is this has hit at the end of the "normal" flu season. Devoloping a vaccine normally takes 5 months, which would put the date in October, which is considered the start of the flu season.

If a vaccine is not developed timely, NEXT flu season is when a lot of the damage could happen. In her field, they are making comparisons to the 1918 flu epidiemic, so it's not entirely media generated panic. There is a sense of urgency in the medical field.

And now, for a little distraction...

That is correct.

The crazy thing about this all is in Egypt. They have no reported cases of H1N1 virus yet they decided to slaughter all their pigs (over 300,000).

That is a lot wasted bacon =(

I am acquainted with the man in this CNN video, Dr. Mike Osterholm. He's no dummy. While he is not yeling "pandemic," he seems to be cautiously waiting for more information.

Some kid apparently came into school this morning with a note from a doctor that said he was exhibiting "flu-like symptoms" so they shut down the entire school.
