Uber Flu in Mexico

[snuff]

So 81 dead in Mexico with non-fatal cases confirmed in teh US and possibly NZ.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8019100.stm

So it's some kinda bird/swine flu that's now transfered to humans... that occurred naturally?

Sounds like it was cooked up in a lab if you ask me.

[niXon]

Dad treated some of the kids from the NZ school yesterday, think him and all the staff that were working that day have to pound back tamiflu as a precaution.

[planut]

fuck this.

[Red_switch]

Already consiracy theories flying around... vile goes missing from lab in US, flu outbreaks in Mexico while Barack Obama is visiting, one of his guides is now dead...

Meh. Keep healthy and shit.

IT'S THE APORKACLYPSE!

I should write for 3 News with sick wordplay like that!

I'm sure they could come up with something better than a flu-like bug if it was a conspiracy. A deadlier form of HIV, which spreads through air would be pretty badass.

[Rob Anybody]

Sounds like it was cooked up in a newsroom if you ask me.

[crackheavy]

im keen to shoot up some porkflu heard its a mad buzz

[General Mutante]

IT'S THE APORKACLYPSE!

Fuck yes. That should be a Muppet movie. With Kermit as the Road Warrior and Miss Piggy as Auntie Entity.

[the croc]

Got a few friends in Mexico at the moment. Hope they're ok.

Flu needs more zombies

I'm sure they could come up with something better than a flu-like bug if it was a conspiracy. A deadlier form of HIV, which spreads through air would be pretty badass.

Yeah don't think they can just give HIV Red Bull eh.

If this is for reals it's seems pretty well honed as it is... well, except the lacking Zombie part...

Oh, and just cos it sounds funny...

Flu's a cunt, but there's fuck all you can do about catching it. Although we could burn everybody that does.

[Huey]

Yeah don't think they can just give HIV Red Bull eh.

No. But they might be able to make it air transmissible using transgenic methods. It wouldn’t be too hard to make an uber-deadly virus. In fact, we already got a few very deadly ones safely stored away.

[Tacotistk]

why are only mexicans, or people in mexico dying from it. due to lack of treatment? or are you claiming its racially targeted too

it specifically targets mexicans so the US workforce is decimated, opening up more jobs for all the unemployed bank tellers

Yeah don't think they can just give HIV Red Bull eh.

No. But they might be able to make it air transmissible using transgenic methods. It wouldn’t be too hard to make an uber-deadly virus. In fact, we already got a few very deadly ones safely stored away.

Sure.

My point though was that the turn around from catching this to death seems much more efficient than the Aids virus.

[Tacotistk]

also there's reports people are recovering from it. unless they die. in which case they didn't recover

[snuff]

Avoid blowing kisses and you should be safe from Hueys Aids as well.

[Tacotistk]

it's probably some knee-jerk reaction to how everyone's fucking gay as about bacon these days and it's become one of the most annoying things ever. I'm seriously sick of seeing blogs and crap where people are just wanking on about how amazing bacon is like it's some sort of trend. DA FUK. Mohamed is like, super pissed.

[snuff]

Wonder if there's some vegan militants secretly trying to combine bird/swine flu with mad cow disease to put everyone off meat all together.

[kimura]

It dosnt seem to be as deadly as H5N1(66%)
since this swine flu looks to be around 6% - possibly lower with state of the art health care etc,

Not really too worried but it will pay to keep and eye on it,
hard to get the facts from the shit with the media scaremongering;
last night "BREAKING NEWS CONFIRMED SWINE FLU" When infact none of the students lab results have come back from WHO in Queensland yet...

[Phlegethon]

Pork for dinner this evening... mmm

[Tacotistk]

far, what a hardout!

[daggers]

also there's reports people are recovering from it. unless they die. in which case they didn't recover

exactly. If people don't suffer from a minor case of deadness then they usually recover. My dad said it's nothing to worry about as any flu can kill. Those students at Rangitoto are recovering.

don't worry guys, dad said

Army: 3 vials of virus samples missing from Maryland facility

From Larry Shaughnessy
Wed April 22, 2009

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Missing vials of a potentially dangerous virus have prompted an Army investigation into the disappearance from a lab in Maryland. Fort Detrick is the home of the Army's top biological research facility.

The Army's Criminal Investigation Command agents have been visiting Fort Detrick in Frederick, Maryland, to investigate the disappearance of the vials. Christopher Grey, spokesman for the command, said this latest investigation has found "no evidence of criminal activity."

The vials contained samples of Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis, a virus that sickens horses and can be spread to humans by mosquitoes. In 97 percent of cases, humans with the virus suffer flu-like symptoms, but it can be deadly in about 1 out of 100 cases, according to Caree Vander Linden, a spokeswoman for the Army's Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases. There is an effective vaccine for the disease and there hasn't been an outbreak in the United States since 1971.

The vials had been at the research institute's facility at Fort Detrick, home of the Army's top biological research facility, for more than a decade. The three missing vials were among thousands of vials that were under the control of a senior scientist who retired in 2004. When another Fort Detrick scientist recently inventoried the retired scientist's biological samples, he discovered that the three vials of the virus were missing. The original scientist's records about his vials dated back to the days of paper-and-pen inventories.

During the investigation, the retired scientist and another former Fort Detrick researcher cooperated with investigating agents and, according to Vander Linden, they came back to the facility to help look for the vials.

Vander Linden said the investigators know that several years ago an entire freezer full of biological samples broke down and all the samples had to be safely destroyed. But a complete inventory of what was in the freezer was not done before the samples were destroyed. Vander Linden said there's a "strong possibility" the vials were in that freezer and destroyed, but that isn't known for sure.

This investigation comes two months after all research at the research institute facility at Fort Detrick was halted for a complete computer-based inventory of all disease samples at the fort. That inventory is expected to be complete before summer and may help solve the mystery of the three missing vials, officials said.

The Army investigation is in its final stages and is expected to be closed soon.

Coincidence? Probably. Kinda makes you wonder how often this shit happens though. In this case the virus was only discovered as missing four years after it happened and even then only because some decided to run an inventory.

do anyof you cunts even have a survival kit incase they start quarantining? sooner or later we will have another serious plague like pandemic, this could be it now! fuck who knows...

yea... anybody??? survival? or she'll be right??

[snuff]

Been training for years...

Doom fucking owns.
