I gotta say, I had a vaccine last year when I went to get a thing removed from my neck. I am fine, and I am not setting off store alarms or being followed by black vans... Oh wait, their is a knock at my door Oh shi- <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

See. There you go. I'm gonna ask for two doses. It can't hurt.

This reminds me of Will smith and the Zombies, after they think they know what they are doing, every one turns in to a zombie. They have military quarantines and every thing. No Thanks.

Here's all you need, Phil:

As professors we are supposed to have a back-up plan for some kind of online class should campus be closed due to H1N1 infections.

I'm no influenza expert, but I think this is all just to give an impression that the government are doing something about it. It's an overreaction in my view.

Did you know that, globally, ~500K people die every year from 'regular' flu? Whatever that is (not H1N1 anyway). So far, there are 170 reported deaths from H1N1 in the US! I bet more people have died getting hit by buses in the same amount of time!

H1N1 is rarely fatal, unless you are very young, very old or have pre-existing disease. My niece had an H1N1 infection in the UK a few weeks ago. She just enjoyed a vacation in Crete. Totally fine. I'm not saying H1N1 isn't a serious virus, but there are many other serious influenza viruses too. Why is this one getting so much attention? I think it's just media frenzy. Once people start panicking, institutions are forced to make a 'plan'. If it was H3N1, I'd WANT to be locked up in the my house. That bugger is nasty <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />

EXACTLY. Eyewash. It's JUST like the TSA screenings at the airport while the guy in the Chili's restaurant in concourse B has a 10 inch long knife slicing carrots up.



Yes... Actually I did know that.





I'm glad at least someone has some damn sense in this world.

Just wait until we have a REAL pandemic. You know what the plan is for that one? I'll let everyone guess. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Setting the record straight on Glen Beck

Eh, Beck is an entertainer now, and he's gotten really full of himself (in my opinion). I really liked the guy a few years ago...and he slowly (and not so slowly in some areas) started drifting off course. I've given up on him.

I had heard the rumors but hadn't realized the facts were vetted by the NYT's...

Flashback:

Mark Cuban, fronting the bling to g...onwide, gets broadsided by the Feds- NYT

And if you've seen Loose Change, the charge that the movie claims "President Bush planned the demolition of the World Trade Center" is idiotic.

...Of course, Cuban was acquitted of all charges.


Happy coincidenting. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Or is conspiracy setting in a you wan to keep it hard to follow???

Just kidding!!!!!!

Except to keep the thread to a respectable length, please.

It does make admin tasks easier.
