WHO plans emergency session over deadly Mexico flu outbreak

[Bagor]

Hong Kong (and rightly so) has been extra cautious ever since SARS.

General concensus seems to be this thing is not as bad as first thought.

There is no evidence of the swine flu virus spreading in a sustained way outside North America, a top World Health Organization official says.
Dr Michael Ryan, WHO Director of Global Alert and Response, praised European nations' handling of cases and said events did not seem out of control.
Mexico has cut its suspected death toll by 75 to 101, indicating the outbreak may not be as bad as initially feared.

Canada: 1st pigs found with new swine flu virus

The officials said the pigs in the province of Alberta were thought to be infected by a Canadian farm worker who recently visited Mexico and got sick after returning to Canada.
The traveler has recovered, and the estimated 200 sickened pigs are recovering as well, officials said. No pigs have died, and officials said they don't think the flu has spread beyond the farm

No big deal however...as the pigs are OK!!

I kinda feel like Bill Maher and Dennis Miller were walking down Comedy Road together. At the exact time 9/11 happened they came to a fork in the road. Both looked at each other and Maher said, "forget going forward down either road, I'll turn straight left and you turn straight right. Keep walking and never look back no matter how far we get from the comedy that got us here. Deal?"

He's not even funny anymore, nevermind insightful. Every joke is just a groan.
