Tamiflu Resistant Swine Flu Strain pg 42

I can't stop playing Pandemic 2. :shifty:

Had a game that started in Mexico, tried to make it like Swine 'flu as much as possible and managed to kill 5 billion people.

First one to get swine flu wins 10 points.

We can afford to lose Scotland.

I was just watching the news there - those two people who were getting checked out in Monklands hospital are infected. Apparently 7 of their family and friends are also showing 'mild symptoms'.

It begins. I'm off to my underground bunker.

ffs..why didn't they not let them return home and keep them over there until they were uninfected. i refuse to get this strawberry floating virus.

Isn't this curable anyway? Just not preventable? I'm not worrying about it anyway. Give me your best shot Virus 8-)

Any spare room in there? 8-)

Heres hoping they close schools and universitys

Here's a conspiracy theory for you. GlaxoSmithKline has started this outbreak to increase demand for Tamiflu.

GSK = Umbrella?

Something Fishy

I can't help feeling that a mountain is being made from a mole hill.

I think the media just love this sort of thing.

Some weaker and vulnerable will die (awful I know) but I suspect the vast majority will survive and it won't get as bad as they are suggesting.

So. It was Wesker all along.

You have no idea how this flu affects the human body, do you?

The people who are dying are the wrong people. Infants, the elderly, and people with natural or artificial immune suppression die in most epi/pandemics, but according to the last report I saw, all the people who died in Mexico have been between 20 and 40 - people expected to have competent immune systems. The reason the 1918 pandemic was relatively unique was that it hyperstimulated the immune system, which meant young-to-middle-aged adults died from the flu because their own immune systems killed them. Nowadays, it may be that ready availability of steroids can prevent some of these deaths, but the trick is supressing the immune system enough to prevent harm while not leaving the patient vulnerable to other infections.

My Auntie lives about 10 minutes from that scottish hospital..

I hope I'm in her will...

Holds hand up :lol:

I really should have read more before assuming we had a normal flue here.

I'm strawberry floated if i get it then as my white cells don't work how they should anyway. If i get over-activity like that i'd have a huge risk of a host of other problems coming off the back of it as my white cells attack me.

You'd have to have played Resident Evil 5 to the end to get it.

my supervisor at work is raging that she booked a holiday to mexico and her bf doesnt want to go
