It's my third time to Mexico in the last year... still alive! Seems like more countries are worried about US bringing it to them.

That would have been a better poster if done horizontally.

I think that graphic just proves how over the top the reporting of this has been.
I mean, what about the leprosy pandemic? It's killed almost as many people!

I had it. It’s real.

Biggest beat up in ages. No worse than the ordinary flu. If it was called paddle pop flu, nobody would give a toss.
- It is worse, but not much worse. Noticeably. Higher fevers for longer.Zenith_Kudos

Let us all just hope and prey that it does not become a pandemic that spins out of control... And if our government did not do anything, everyone would be blaming the government. They are in a no win situation.

I could dredge up the story about Obama investing his personal funds in the manufacturer of the vaccine - but I wont...

i've got it. well i'm almost past it. had the normal flu 3 weeks ago as well. the difference for me with bird flu was the pooky-style shakes. for about 24 hours there i was girating like a sjobeck wearin' raver kid at an altern8 gig during the san francisco earthquake of '89. other than that, it's a flu.
- with or without glow sticks?PonyBoy
- my wife didn't allow them. i asked for em though.prophet0NE
- ie: "honaaay! i'm giratin' here... major shakes, can't c,c,c,control... need my glow sticks goddammit!!"prophet0NE
- So, did you get vaccinated or just get through it on your own?ukit
- denied the sticks...
... i'm surprised you're still alive, friend. :)PonyBoy - no shit. i had the shakes with hallucinations, two unlimited's get ready looping in my head and NO glow sticks...prophet0NE

I feel like maybe I have it...stayed home from work today...first time I have done that in about a year where I was actually sick.
I feel like shit. Oink, oink.
- yeah but does it feel that different from the regualr flu. I was sick for 4 days took 2 days off of work ... and was fineRamanisky2

to answer ukit: i stuck it out in bed for fours days. managed to get tamiflu on tuesday. wife quarantined me to bedroom and haven't roamed my house until today. feel good today but i can still spread the rage virus for another 2-3 days i think. been off work this week. can't get the vaccination yet here in vancouver. my 3-year-old qualifies and he can't get one until late next week. also swabs here are taking 3 weeks to process so there's no point for swabbin'.
the best thing to do imo is stay home, get military-grade n-95 masks, an oil drum of purell, an ar-15 and wait out the screams and chaos outside. also do not turn the lights on after dark.
- heh...a zombie invasion would be more fun than thisukit
- hell yeah. except up here i have no real gun shops to loot... everything says tokyo marui...prophet0NE

Beat up. In Australia we were doing the old national head count of cases...10,20,100...1000. It was panic stations for weeks until we all just forgot about it. We're all still here.
