Some fringe elements are claiming it is a bioterrorism attack; that the virus was genetically engineered. (Any word on this front, Tower?)
Radio now reports 146 fatalities and 2000 infections in Mexico.

Excellent, the Mexican that's working with us since Thursday is sick, and they are going to try sending him back today. And 2 others were hit hard this weekend with illness.

I was horrified when I had to get the dreaded spinal tap last year. It was an experienced doc and I barely felt it.

Just eat raw onions and you'll be safe. Nobody will come close enough to you to infect you.

I don't know if anybody has posted this yet... but the WHO raised the pandemic alert level to 4. This has to be the first time it has passed 3 in a while, no?

Just get some N95 masks from Rona.
If you want to give them something that's actually effective, then they need to be fitted.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has raised its alert level over swine flu from three to four - two steps short of declaring a full pandemic.
WHO Assistant Director General Dr Keiji Fukuda said it signalled a "significant step towards pandemic influenza", but added "we are not there yet".
Mexico earlier said it believed 149 people had now died from the swine flu outbreak - only 20 cases are confirmed.
Other, milder, cases are confirmed in the US, Canada, Spain and Britain.
The WHO's decision to raise the alert level to four came after an emergency meeting of experts, brought forward by a day because of concerns over the outbreak.
Level four means the virus is showing a sustained ability to pass from human to human, and is able to cause community-level outbreaks.
"What this can really be interpreted as is a significant step towards pandemic influenza. But also, it is a phase that says we are not there yet," Mr Fukuda said.
|
Also says that "The first batches of a swine flu vaccine could be ready between four to six months, but it will take several more months to produce large quantities of it,"
