This will be my last post on the subject. *cheer everyone*
If you thought I was coming on here to be a chicken little, I'm sorry, but you were/are mistaken.
My intentions were to give you a heads up on a rapidly evolving situation that has a great possibility of affecting our lives. My mistake, as it appears the majority could care less.
There were two post made that I wish to address.
Yeah. Imagine if they did this for viruses that have been known to kill people like HIV.
There are few ways to catch HIV/AIDS. Having unprotected sex with someone who is infected, sharing needles with someone who is infected, in vitro from an infected mother, of rarely, through a blood infection. It's not exactly EASY to catch it, as the first two require the choice of participating in risky behavior that makes you risk yourself. In vitro is an unfortunate circumstance for the child. Through transmission has practically been eliminated. As you are well aware, scientists have been working on making a vaccine for years now.
This, on the other hand, can be caught by anybody, without participating in any type of risky behavior. You could catch it, your children could catch it. You can simply be in the room with someone who sneezes and catch it. You can even be in an area where someone sneezed and is no longer around and catch it.
Kind of a bit of difference there, isn't it?

There you have it! now shut the fuck up!
This video is total bs, and is nothing but an attempt to prevent panic. People are screaming for the government to close the border. The government knows that if they did, it would absolutely devastate our economy.
I asked an influenza virus researcher to give me his opinion of it:
Terrible, really terrible!
First the headline. There are over 150 dead young people in Mexico. A 2 year old boy died in Texas. This is a lethal virus.
Dr. Tim Johnson is an elderly physician with a poor grasp of modern science. Sequencing a virus is not "an amazing feat of modern medicine", it is routine work done by low-level technicians. And the CDC is doing a poor job of it.
Dr. Johnson, like Laurie Garrett, is unable to make his own evaluation of the data and so is taking as Gospel the statements of the people he trusts. Statements that are deliberately misleading.
It is true that the elderly do not seem to be dying of this virus in large numbers, but that is cold comfort to the families of the 20 and 30 year olds who are. Recall that a young mother in critical condition had to have a C-section to save her baby.
The mother was in the US, BTW.
To those of you that were interested in this, my apologies that I am not going to continue. If you would like to keep up with it, msg me and I'll get you a great resource where you can see the real reports of what is going on, as well as see how upset virus researchers worldwide are with the CDC and the WHO on the job that they are doing so far.
To the others, hold on come next fall.
Good day.
