I'm kinda' surprised dear leader and his bunch aren't making even more of the flu thing. It takes the citizen's attention away from the bailouts, interrogation controversy, socialist agenda, etc.

They have no idea how to handle it. Napolitano already stated she wouldn't close the border... until it's too late.
Flu still kills today. Tamiflu may help, but even a local outbreak would overload the local system. Lots of nursing and support equipiment needed to keep people alive. The elderly and the very young are most at risk.
We could turn folks away like they are in the gov't controlled Mexican healthcare system.
We could limit health care to only those with "fluorescent intellects"

The problem with this strain of flu is it's affecting people between the ages of 20 and 40, not the young and old that you normally see get severely ill or die when they contract the flu. Tamiflu is showing significant relief for the symptoms of swine flu, and Napolitano is getting Tamiflu reserves shipped to the areas in the US where the majority of cases have been reported. The problem is, everyone is running with the media hype, and jumping to conclusions about whether they have the swine flu, or just a spring cold. The family that lives outside San Antonio that is in quarantine has had testing for swine flu completed. They have now found that the boy who attended the school does in fact have swine flu, but the father and daughter actually have Type A flu. So even if someone is exhibiting flu symptoms, they could just have the flu that's been going around prior to this swine flu outbreak.
If we wanted to monitor the traffic coming across the border, there are more effective means to do so. I was watching GMA before leaving work this morning, and they were showing how Europe airports are using Heat Detection Systems at all the security gates. Security has these screens that show excessive heat patterns when people pass by the sensors. If they see any person 'lighting up' the screen, they pull them out of line and check their temperature. If they have a fever, they deny them access to the plane.

there is a school(St. Mels) less then 3 miles from my house that has 3 confirmed cases...they have shut down the school for a minimum of a week and all the janitors are disinfecting the ENTIRE school...its kinda scary because a close family friend has a child that attends that school...

Our first case in Ohio was in a 9 year old. It seems they are not even doing the common sense monitoring you mentioned.
Most likely hype, but I'm keeping an eye on the situation. BTW, I just came down with a cold.

I'm sorry, but shutting entire schools down for a week because of three or four cases is ridiculous. If they're doing it for the swine flu, why not for the Type A and B flu's when they come around? Every year when the flu season hits, they tell everyone to get a flu shot and go on their way. I don't get them anymore because the last time I got the shot, I still contracted the flu that WASN'T included in the shot. The CDC admits it's a crap shoot every year as to which flu's they make vaccinations for, because they don't know which strains will be prevalent for that season. Yea, this swine flu is a combination of swine, bird, and human flu's, but so far no deaths have been reported in the US. Most likely because our immune systems to flu's are stronger, and we don't live in deplorable conditions where the people in Mexico don't even have running water in their homes in some cases.
The doctors I've seen interviewed on TV have stated that if you do think you've contracted swine flu, stay at home, drink plenty of fluids, get rest, and take OTC medications for the aches and pains. If you want to verify you have swine flu as opposed to the Type A that's going around, go to your doctor or clinic and get tested. You'll most likely get a Tamiflu prescription to help alleviate the symptoms. It's a flu, not ebola or some plague that has no cure.

That doesn't make you tough. It means you have no food or bus fair and are poor.....or in Detroit's case, upper middle class.

idk im kind of worried..i am in the city 4 days a week, and attend a heavily populated university known as Slutgers I mean Rutgers. I read online that the Swine Flu spread to Newark NJ, close to Rutgers Newark. Just a matter of time before it gets to Rutgers New Brunswick and from there it will spread all over jersey lol.
