I wonder if your insurance company would cover you if you headed to Mexico even though there was a level 5 WHO warning posted.

When swine flu starts killing 1,300 people daily, like 'the' flu, I'm train jumping; joining the 3.3 Japanese people every hour who commit suicide... Typically, in a year's normal two flu seasons (one per hemisphere), there are between three and five million cases of severe illness and up to 500,000 deaths worldwide, which by some definitions is a yearly influenza epidemic..
I don't remember this happening during the Bird Flu global, deadly, mutated, zombie, necro, nuclear, pandemic in 2006.. Maybe I slept through it.TFG wrote:May well just be,
However when they anounced on Asahi TV the other night that once it starts here, the worst thing you can do is go out looking for food , the panic will start....
A Japanese female passenger on a Northwest Airlines flight that arrived at Narita international airport from Los Angeles on Thursday has tested positive for influenza in a preliminary examination, airport officials said. The 25-year-old woman was transported from the airport by ambulance to Japanese Red Cross Narita Hospital. Accompanied by quarantine officers wearing protective suits, she walked into the hospital without assistance.
The Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry will announce the result of her examination at 7 a.m. Friday, it said. Around 20 other passengers who were seated near her will undergo follow-up checks on their health condition at accommodation near the airport, according to the officials. Japan has yet to see an outbreak of the new influenza that is spreading quickly around the world.

TFG wrote:Well. let's say the fact that they the authorities are making more out of this than they did when SARS was around, makes me wonder.

We also know a lot more about the flu than we did in 1918, have far better medical services, have antiviral drugs, and have infinitely better communication systems. There is also good chance that we'll have a vaccine for this strain before colder weather returns.
TFG, you're starting to sound like Buraku.
