Wolverines

because 3 people in my department have Swine Flu. WE ROCK AT THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER!

Isn't it time we firebomb mexico?

damnit red, you always have to go and ruin it for everybody with your swine flu

Thanks to the dirty mexicans in the 70s I was vaccinated....I won't be getting it :( but 3 people in my department get to take Oseltamivir for 10 days...happy shitting your guts out guys!

I thought that the vaccine in the 70s was not good for this version.

Prepare yourselves for another Red shit story.

i came here to say this

cannot wait.

Red should invest in a high tech Japenese toilet.  His ass would be forever grateful.

Ill bring beer

anyone else notice how they said 150-200 dead in mexico, yesterday i'm hearing like 7-12. its just fear tactics to cover up the collapsing economy recently.

Paul, stop being a gotard.  150-200 dead from suspected swine flu.  They are now going back through each case and running a test that takes much longer to verify that it was indeed swine flu.  They are only done with the first dozen or so tests.  The confirmed number will eventually be pretty close to the suspected number.

We are still waiting to see if my co-worker, or as we call him PATIENT ZERO, has it. If he does the whole department is on Tamiflu!

I second the Fearmonger notion.

Why wasn't there an uprise last year or the year before....on average 36,000 people die a year from the FLU.

Now the Messiah is going to spend some $1.5 Billion EXTRA on this.....(not saying money shouldn't be spent mind you).  We have a handful of reported cases and 0 deaths....

Reason for all these deaths in Mexico, is because of just that... ITS MEXICO! 

Same place where they whipe their arses and throw the TP on the floor instead of the toilet because they believe it backs up the pipes (true story, i saw it with my own eyes, crap ridden TP on the floor right next to the toilet!).

Mis-spoke.... 141 cases , 1 Death (Texas)

Probably ought to take our time, send some guys in whenever we get around to getting organized, just as long as we aren't IRRESPONSIBLY PROACTIVE.

I think Obama is doing a HECKUVA JOB.

The reason this is blown out of proportion is the fucking media

What else are they going to talk about?  I guess they could do a story about how baseball isn't really a sport.

that's a non-story

I think all news stories should be about poor people that horde dogs and cats

17 minutes of poor people antics and 13 minutes of the weather

i think there is a war or two going on.

Quit being such a socialist.

quit being sick, you coming out tonight? if you say no, i will be forced to punch you in the dick.

he has swine flu

JT, stop being a good little fluoridated sheep and believe everything you see on T.V. and act like everyone else is a paranoid idiot because they don't trust a government that lies to the people ALL THE FUCKING TIME.

Let's paint a hypothetical situation here:

Let's say you're the leader of a nation.  Let's also say a virus comes along that behaves much like the flu and is just as easily spread but is more likely to kill you if not properly treated.  Then let's go a little further and pretend like there's a major economic crisis going on in this completely hypothetical situation that is forcing people to postpone major surgeries and not go to the doctor for simple little things like colds and the flu.  Then people start dying in a neighboring country.  Then more and more people get sick and this nasty little bug spreads all over the place and spills over into your country.  What would you do if you were among the leadership of that nation?  Would you try to scare the shit out of people so they will go get checked out when they get a fever?  Fuck yes you would.  This isn't fearmongering or a political magic trick, this is an attempt to get people to go to the fucking doctor.  Nobody is going to forget about the two wars we're fighting over this.  Nobody is going to forget that their 401k is half of what it was 14 months ago because some Mexicans kicked el cubo.

I trust the government just as little as the next guy, so a sheep I am not.  Trust me, I work for the government and I am shocked at the incompetence at all levels.  Having said that, I don't act like everyone else is a paranoid idiot, I KNOW everyone else is a paranoid idiot.  Furthermore, the "exaggerated" numbers of the dead Mexicans came from the Mexican government, not ours.  It's the world health organization that is now going through and doing the fact-checking.

Everyone, you may remove your tin foil hats and move freely about the cabin.

Mexico borders Texas, not the U.S.

JT, Dont be angry!

I was speaking hypothetically, but of course if I were directly referencing the Obama administration and the United States, you would be justified in correcting me.

I'm not angry.  See!
