well, I just heard about that in the last day or 2... but I really don't watch/read news very much so sometimes what I hear is old news but I've just heard it.

And that's fair about naming it after a location.... although I find it hard to believe that it will create any more bias toward Mexico than there already is because of this... it's not like it's a secret where this came from. I dunno.... probably just best to give it some scientific name and leave it at that.

Well, it isn't the country's fault that the disease happened. It was a mutation. I think giving it its scientific name is the best choice

It's now official, WHO has decided only to call the disease by its technical name, H1N1 influenza A (or just H1N1)

theres a whole lotta things that could happen with this
1. we could all get infected and most of us would die and thus the end of the world
2. this thing dies out soon enough since a lot of people are getting over it easily
3. it turns out Obama made it to get revenge on the people that didnt vote for him and tested it out on mexico and it causes a world war

either way im thinking this is gonna be not so bad

i agree. this is probally just another thing that will go away soon.
theres heaps of sicknesses and people dying all the time, its all the media hyping things for a story.
every year in australia we get a new "killer flu" outbreak plastered on the news and blah blah.
yet it went away. plenty of people never got it and never got protected against it.
all just hype

Silly Belial.... the Mayans didn't predict the end of the world... they predicted the end of an age....

if you're going to mock then at least get your facts straight.

Yeah, that didn't need a such a response. Anyway, did anyone else know that they have reduced the number of deaths in Mexico? Apparently, they weren't all related to H1N1. Another feared disease that does nothing; what a shock

okay.... the number of deaths in that article is "confirmed deaths".

it's showing only 400 confirmed cases in Mexico but they have thousands of suspected cases. That doesn't mean that there aren't deaths occuring but it takes time to confirm the death was cause by H1N1. I think they're trying to spend more time looking for a way to combat the virus rather than counting confirmed cases.

those are useless.... sorry to break it to you...

the flu is not transported through the air but by touch. Someone touches you, you touch the where they touched you and then you touch you face.... eyes, mouth, nose.... that's how you get it...

Not entirely. It also goes through coughing, sneezing. It does also go through touch.

bah, I don't see the point in putting people into quarantine.... just let everyone get sick with it.... sure some will die but the rest of us will become immune to it and be able to handle the new strains that mutate a lot better....
