What is CDC’s recommendation regarding "swine flu parties"?
"Swine flu parties" are gatherings during which people have close contact with a person who has novel H1N1 flu in order to become infected with the virus. The intent of these parties is to become infected with what for many people has been a mild disease, in the hope of having natural immunity to the novel H1N1 flu virus that might circulate later and cause more severe disease.

CDC does not recommend "swine flu parties" as a way to protect against novel H1N1 flu in the future. While the disease seen in the current novel H1N1 flu outbreak has been mild for many people, it has been severe and even fatal for others. There is no way to predict with certainty what the outcome will be for an individual or, equally important, for others to whom the intentionally infected person may spread the virus.

CDC recommends that people with novel H1N1 flu avoid contact with others as much as possible. They should stay home from work or school for 7 days after the onset of illness or until at least 24 hours after symptoms have resolved, whichever is longer.

hey guys,
just like to take this chance to thank everyone who is keeping us updated about the flu here. Although I'm mostly lurking now, it IS much appreciated!
good work guys!

On a side note:
the people in Europe, where I live seems to have become desensitized about the whole matter... no one is asking questions or being cautious anymore, doctors hardly test on this flu...
If this keeps up and it is NOT nearly over, as they say on the news, then it could spread quick once more europeans get infected.

Hi all,
I am not sure what the deal is, but i'm not finding any news worth posting.. what did they pull the plug on us and stop reporting?
its definatly weird, still looking though.

Wow, if the numbers i found are right, we had a increase of
615 cases yesterday.
friday 1639 in the U.S.
today 2254

Thats a HUGE Jump.

"pandemic flu doesn't seem to be as sensitive to warm weather" - ominous data from Mexico health ministry /p7cks4
10:32 AM May 8th from web
first few paragraph

Warm weather may not halt swine flu
New data from Mexico and case numbers so far suggest that if the spread of H1N1 "swine flu" continues elsewhere as it has in the Americas, the virus could infect more than a billion people by July.

The data also suggests that the virus may not be slowed by summer temperatures in temperate countries. However, it spreads slowly enough to respond to the "social distancing" measures used in Mexico.

Man, there is no news to find today, i've checked the MSM media, the twitter offical threads, every where i can think of and im not finding any new news, some of them are 8 hours old.... very very unusual, They would hit lags before, but it would only last a couple hours...


The narrowed testing is what bothers me, if that article is right and they expect a billion infected by july, thats just confirmed, so you could multiply that by 5 or 10 as actual people with the virus... VERY spooky.
Now take into the effect of mutation and look out.

Yes seems odd that they would not want to moniter this as closely as they could...also seems like a good time to grab some TARP money or something from the "State of Emergency". Keep us guessing.



I am considering doing a poll in this thread, for say the top 5 conspiracies surrounding this novel flu virus. I think there would be enough interest...so all you lurkers out there time to speak up!

What are your top 5 ideas of the WHO WHAT WHERE WHY HOW of this virus?

well.... first no news at all in Belgium, now they come up with this article:
its in Dutch so you might need google translater
again more cases of mexican flu

in short it reads:
Again more cases of mexican flu, also in Europe. According to the who a total of 3000 in 30 countries
2 new in Norway
1st case in non-traveller, Italy, grandfather got it from grandchild
9 new cases in UK, including 6 children from same school, school closed

also mentiones the death in costa rica and the japanese teacher who got infected in Canada

reply to post by GypsK


Hummm...1st case in non-traveller, Italy, grandfather got it from grandchild. There have been many cases of this type of transmission now.

I am still investigating the concept that there are two different strains of the flu at the current time, one in Mexico, and one in the United States.

Hx3_1963 is onto the trail of "Swine Zero" and if he comes back we will know more.

Canadian researchers have found that the flu is the same one in Canada and Mexico.

Same Flu

reply to post by Aeons


Yes although on the same day there was this article that directly contradicted the article you posted. We have posted them both here on this thread...

"In early March 2009, however, we detected additional differences from the vaccine strain among British Columbia viruses collected from facility outbreak settings." They only found these changes in flu samples taken from patients in care facilities.

When news broke of the new H1N1 strain, they ran more tests.

"We have sequenced the hemagglutinin gene of one of the H3 viruses from an ill traveler returning from Mexico and find it shares the same ... changes," they wrote.

"In British Columbia, these H3 mutations arose sometime in early March 2009 and we observe at least one returning traveler to have likely acquired illness due to this virus in Mexico," they wrote.

"We thus also wonder to what extent the profile of influenza-like illness initially reported from mid-March in Mexico may in part be attributed to this H3N2 variant in addition to emergence of the novel A/H1N1 virus."

Sorry for the distance between posts. We have had a death in the family and I have been kinda in and out.

I agree that the media has totally dropped the ball on this. One day they are all apocolyptic then the next it's not even news worthy. I'm sure there is a reason for this, I just can't put my finger on it.

My vote for conspiracy with Swine Flu:
1: Big Pharm; Manadory Vaccination
2: Covering up an accidental release
3: Covering up "backdoor news" that would upset the pop.
4: Covering draconian laws being put in place
5: Bringing in the NAU
In my opinion it might be a little of all of these scenarios.
