Mysterious U.S. Swine Flu Probe Widens as Mexico Finds Swine Flu *updated*

A small update concerning the disaster declaration in Texas.

Gov. Rick Perry issued a disaster declaration for the entire state, basically a paperwork measure that allows Texas to begin emergency protective measures and seek reimbursement from the federal government. Perry also said Texas has 850,000 more courses of antiviral medicine coming, which would double its supply.

In the same article it mentioned two cases in critical condition. I had not heard of these before.

David Lakey, commissioner of State Health Services, said there are two people in critical condition in the state who are expected to test positive for swine flu. One is a pregnant woman who has given birth to a healthy baby; he declined to give any other details, including locations.

Agent Hx3_1963, let me just congratulate you and comment that you have done an absolutely stellar job of keeping all of us updated on the current announcements.

I was watching tv last night and couldn't find anything being discussed about this flu for most of the night. The media really is a puppet of the NWO, they are told when to back off and they do it, they like their paychecks.

more living through history for us. Man, I can't believe this is even happening. I know it's not totally 'bad' yet, but it sure seems like it's heading that way.

Oh and Hx3_1963 you get the gold star of the day for keeping everyone updated. Thank you so much. I'm at work and I'd never know what was going on if it weren't for you. Thank you again for your hard work.

WHO chief to raise pandemic alert level-sources
www.alertnet.org...

GENEVA, April 29 (Reuters) - The head of the World Health Organisation will increase the pandemic flu alert level to 5, the second highest level, WHO sources said on Wednesday.

Director-General Margaret Chan is expected to make the announcement at a 10 p.m. (2000 GMT) press briefing about the swine flu outbreak at the WHO's Geneva headquarters.

"Things are moving fast," one source said.

Another said Chan would increase the alert by one step, from 4 to 5, in response to the spreading virus that has killed as many as 159 people in Mexico and spread to the United States, Canada, Europe, Israel, and New Zealand.

"I don't think it will be 6," that source said.

Sometimes, maybe we are never supposed to know all the secrets of the world...because we would get so sick of it, we would just puke up our insides and go crazy.

But, being the curious fool I am, that sounds pretty fun at the same time.

Then again, maybe our governments are taking serious precautions just because it has the potential of being an epidemic?

Ok, did they, or did they not, raise the level to 5 yet? I think I missed something along the way, trying to be at work/read/ all at the same time.

Sorry for the backtracking!

Thanks!
