Mexican flu outbreak

[Immenseman]

theres someone in my town who has it and im not worried
its minor for us, just like normal flu. no one has died of it outside of mexico. and its curable!
the worlds ok! cass14

i thought someone died in the US lol

[RedStratocas]

the media's ridiculous hype that its "the next black death" FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR outweighs any joke on youtube. sorry to burst your bubble.

the media is capitalizing on this. they're going to squeeze this for all its' worth, just like they did with sars and bird flu. the WHO isnt much better. when bird flu first started gaining hype a few years ago, a senior official there said it had potential to kill 150 million people. its only killed 200 to date.

why arent you complaining about people making jokes about car accidents? tens of thousands of people die in them every year. why not complain about people making jokes about fat people - hundreds of thousands of people die of heart disease and other obesity-related diseases every year. hell, why not complain about people who have made fun of the NORMAL flu which kills tens of thousands of people in industrialized countries every year? hell, people make jokes about AIDS! thats killed millions!

im sorry i'm not freaking out like everyone seems to want me to.

I have been with someone who got back from Mexico 2 days ago and have been off with the flu, my doctor claimed it as hayfever and gave me tablets which don't do nothing. I ring the NHS and they told me to keep off and give it a few more days and If I still have it then to ring again and they will send someone here. Didn't mention it as being the most hated on this topic lol.

you most definitely dont have swine flu, but you probably have hypochondriasis. i'd get that checked out.

i thought someone died in the US lol

the kid was brought from mexico to be treated in the united states lol.

[IceNineKills]

there was a massive hype over bird flew and what happened to that?

i've given up giving a **** about these things now.

[Sammeth.]

oh really? they sent me some oinkment.

I really doubt it, that sounds like a load of hogwash.

[GommeInc]

It's in Islington now, Habbo staff are going to get it and there's going to be shortage of moderators and Habbo will be forced to close

Ah, something good has come from this then

Oh my God, what is it with Sammeth and Immenseman having a big gay orgy of pig jokes all of a sudden?! Get a room you two lusy lovers

[Arch]

im not a pig, so i should be fine

the media hype is surely to raise awareness of it incase it comes to the uk which it already has, 20 reported cases i last heard, it's raising awareness if it becomes a world wide pandemic which it is close to coming.

thats the most ridiculous thing ive ever heard. we aren't children. we dont need ridiculous hype and scary stories to be made aware of something. why cant they be honest and reasonable? why do they need to make ridiculous headlines that talk about "panic" and comparing it to the black death, which any person with a sense of logic knows is a ridiculous comparison? 20 reported cases doesnt even come close to the amount of attention it has received.

and no, a few hundred cases is not even close to a "worldwide pandemic," thats a stupid thing to say.

It's stupid, it's summer, a majority of people have hayfever, but nooo, just because they've got the sniffles they are like "OMG IM GONNA DIE!!" Read up on the symptoms >_>
My God!




Sorry to be a grammar Nazi, but please stop using double negatives! And most allergen tablets don't work, different people have different reactions to different allergens, instead of ringing NHS you should have just told your GP that they weren't working that well...stop jumping to conclusions, and you talk like you're a professional, your GP told you it was Hayfever, that's professional advice...and may I ask why you assume it was flu?

stay alive

its the best way to live

Yeah but it's soooooo hard not to die from the flu in the UK If only with modern medicine we could cure the flu:@:@
