Swine Flu in Pattaya

[Big Yuley]

Flu travels the world every year and kills tens of thousands of people. Compared to the usual yearly flu, Swine flu has killed very few. If we reacted this way every year, we would be confined to our homes and never travel.

 

I don't worry about the swine flu, but worry about being quarantined in some country Because, I had a slight fever walking through a scanner at a airport.

Well said....Swine Flu is one giant beat up. The standard flu kills more people...

[David Brent]

saw on ABC news today that swine flu has spread throughout USA, but only 18,000 confirmed cases and 40 deaths

 

if we not have fuckin pig media, no one would give a fuck. but the damage the fucking pig media has done to business worldwide is incalculable.

 

 

however, when we get a lethal strain of flu, then go fuck MISS LOS and kiss your ass goodbye because there will be no escape and you will be up to statistics as to whether you survive or not

Citation?

 

Probably from the same "reputable" source that opened our eyes to the moon landing be bullshit: http://www.apfn.org/apfn/moon.htm.

 

If no citation available, at least tell us your medical research qualifications. You're writing clearly conveys you aren't a writer, nor is debate likely one of your strong suits.

On 19-JUN-2009, US Gov has issued the following message:

--

 

June 19, 2009

 

This Warden Message alerts U.S. citizens to the latest information regarding human cases of 2009-H1N1 Influenza, sometimes referred to as swine flu or novel H1N1. In response to the global spread of the novel influenza A (H1N1) virus, on June 11, 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) raised the worldwide alert level to Phase 6, indicating that a pandemic is under way. While serious infections and a few deaths have been reported, most infections have been mild.

 

The Thai Ministry of Public Health has reported that as of June 17, 2009, 405 cases of H1N1 have been confirmed in Thailand and 922 people are under observation. Local authorities in Thailand are using thermal scanners to monitor passengers arriving at international airports throughout Thailand and have quarantined travelers, including a few Americans, found to have elevated temperatures.

 

American citizens should be aware that the U.S. Embassy in Thailand cannot demand their immediate release if they have been detained or quarantined in accordance with local public health and legal authorities, and cannot attempt to influence the terms or duration of quarantine. Quarantines in Thailand, however, have generally been of short duration.

 

Any questions or concerns about influenza or other illnesses should be directed to a medical professional. Although the U.S. Embassy cannot provide medical advice or provide medical services to the public, a list of hospitals and doctors can be found on our website. Please access http://bangkok.usembassy.gov/service.html and click on ?A Guide to Living and Working in Thailand? or email us at [email protected].

 

Please note that the U.S. Embassy is NOT advising Americans in Thailand to depart. At this time the Embassy advises that Americans review the guidance provided by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization, and make their own decisions about whether to remain in Thailand.

What about a cluster of people with swine flu that were found this week in Insomnia? Any more news about that?

[jocky king]

Latest news from WHO 51 people died from swine flu with over 50,000 people have swine flu worldwide...

[bestmate]

Any one got updates about Swine Flu in Pattaya? With the level of interaction that goes on in the night life here i could see this easily spreading quiet quickly...

[THguypattaya]

so what's the latest with swine flu in pattaya? gonna visit pattaya soon and havn't get a vac shot yet

[papatex]

I don't know. Nobody talks about it anymore.

 

In Germany only 5% of the population took the shot.

Germany is considering donating or selling 2.2 million shots of swine-flu vaccine to other

countries after fewer Germans than expected lined up for protection against the influenza.

 

They are trying to sell (or give away) the sh-t because nobody wanted the shot.

 

1. Create a mass public panic

2. Create the only "cure" for this panic

3. Sell "cure" with total immunity.

 

I see absolutely NOTHING wrong with this plan.

 

In a lot of countries they are shoveling snow while we are being told the icebergs are melting.

What a strange world indeed.
