Obama declares swine flu a national emergency
This is like declaring the common cold a national emergency. Everyone I am aware of personally, who has had the pig flu, says it is much like a cold or the mildest case of flu they have ever had. I have personally sat in front of an infectious disease Dr who told me directly that they are not recommending children even be treated if they get it - too mild (unless of course they have asthma, are on chemo, etc - but that applies to anything and only a moron would think otherwise). I know people with other viruses who are, or have recently been, much sicker than anyone I know who has had H1N1.
Drama much?
One day, maybe even eventually with this flu, there will actually be a virus that deserves the attention this is getting. But when that day comes - due to the panic over first bird flu, then swine flu, then swine flu part 2 - people will ignore these young men crying wolf, and then we will be screwed.

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
Yep, all the people I've known that have had it basically lable it a 'non-event'. But this is all about power, not the health of Americans...
yup
Just curious, where are they getting all these child death figures from the swine flu? Cause it seems to me the only ones really at risk would be the very young, ones with compromised immune systems, or the elderly. But the news, and now I guess O-Hole, is all going Chicken Little on us.
I have heard news reports - on the tube and radio - that state doctors here in the US believe the figures for those affected are exagerated. The powers that count are including people for whom the virus was not actually confirmed. Just guessed at.
Yeah the chicken little thing is dangerous.
They don't need facts. They just need you to comply with their edicts, like a good Borg drone.
You will be vaccinated. Freedom is irrelevant. Resistance is futile...
