Not just soley from a health stand point for those who just decided to brush this by as another flu type senario...
Or to blame it on a political party..Or make a debate to how dangererous this really is,or could be..
I am in disbelief that anyone here could make this into a political type situation pointing fingers right now.
While some people were playing golf..some were taking more time letting everybody know our president was playing golf instead of being in the lab with the petri dish themself trying to find a cure..
It's just so stupid...I hate to say that..But one of the first original posts here on this very subject reflected that.
Even the same fools respond with something they politicaly read..using a news article to confirm there thoughts are right on target.
Some things are not a debate.
It's the reaction we have to it as a population,and let us not leave out the economy,and it's effect it will have on that.Whether it be panic,or a reality type senario it would play out on it.
It's not a thing to debate when something like this "IS" happening.It is a horrible thing,and a scary thing that's happening to families as I write this.
Lota good feed-back to this post..and I think all the replies to the original post are right on target..this is serious.
I take this serious as hell too..
I think alot of people who just brush this off comparing it to how many people die of this,or that...malaria,and other horrible viruses..Forget that mothers & fathers have watched there young loved ones die of Hand-Foot and Mouth Disease over in China for years ..Africa etc..etc...You get my point.
We in the U.S have been immune for sometime of these horrible things.
I think Jimnyc hit the nail right on the head on this one...This is serious shit.
Especially when it comes to loved ones...Nothing to debate about that in the least.
Leave the debating to the politcal & religous aspects to this..This is a current event that history itself will remember..not who's in office.
It's very well possible when this dam virus runs its course...we could all know personaly one person who died from this swine flu crap.
I've read/researched for the last week everything possible to know about this virus from all sides of the fences.
I think if alot of you researched this subject more..You'd understand more that it's more likely shit like this is .."Is A Matter Of When"...You all know an astroid..or meteor will cause our destruction somewhere in time...But a so called "flu bug" is something alot of us can't grasp..or take serious.
What is it you want?..A 90% caualty rate in order to take this serious?...Or you won't take it serious till it out numbers the totaly malaria deaths each year?
We all know our medical standards are better than the flu pandemic of 1918..but our economy will still face the same disasters..A thought came to mind now as I write this.That even if 5%-10% came down with this virus in this country..we'd so totaly overwhelm the hospitals...That if any percentage greater we would not be able to keep up with them..That would be a disaster in itself.More people could die from other cause..from this particular virus itself.
Even a 1/100 senario would devistate this country.
You can't take into effect that those who brush this off,and those that panic are those of the same class....
They are the ones that will over burden the system.
Alot don't know any better that the CDC..and WHO know a little bit more than ourselves in the current situation.Distrust them all you want...but they are ahead of the game in the future outlook....Sad thing is...you'd be the last to know from them when shit really does hit the fan...It is a catch 22.
It's not who's falling ill with this crap at the moment..and recovering..It's what this virus is capable of once it has a good understanding of it's host.That be us..
Nothing is gona happen..or all hell is gona break lose.
Ok...gota go..See you all at space camp next week.
