I think the cases are going to keep increasing for quite awhile. It will be interesting which areas of the USA are affected the most. I'd put my money on the south and the northeast.

I wish the CDC was keeping their statistics updated live. As far as I can tell, it's a bit behind.

Local news reporting cases here in NC

Ok,

I have been following this since Friday and getting as much information as I can on this subject from people that I know in the medical field and putting two and two together from news articles and information from all possible sources. Here is my two cents....
1. The news that we get from the CDC and WHO and the government is about is correct but up to 5 days old. This is because it keeps panic down and allows governments time to try to "get a handle" on the situation.
2. I am not in panic mode but I am keeping a close eye on the situation. Once I see cases of second and third generation passing of this "flu" I will then start to really worry. All the news reports here in America is the people that are sick have been to Mexico on a recent trip. I have yet to really hear about people with no real connection to Mexico getting the flu.
3. I am still on the fence on whether this was natural or if it was "released". Just the timing of spring break and people from all over the globe being on vacation in Mexico raises questions and eyebrows. Also, this seemed to come about in the southern region of Mexico and the Baja portion of Mexico at the same time. Early April.
4. The American government is trying really too hard to make it seem that they are on top of things. Three press conferences a day about the subject is just too much. CDC, Homeland Security, White House. Let's just here from the CDC once or twice a day and that's it unless something big comes about.
5. KISS....Keep It Simple Stupid. That is what we all need to do. A lot of times we try to explain things in complex terms but the actual answer is pretty simple. Either it will be man made or it occurred naturally. Either is will get really bad or it will just phase away.
6. In Mexico the situation seems to be worse than reported. I think that there are more deaths and cases of swine flu due to the actions of the government. Right now they are considering a full government shut down and that tells me the resources are being depleted and overwhelmed. I am hearing reports that a lot of the sick in Mexico are NOT going to the hospital due to fear and not wanting to chance getting it if they do not have it.

I would have to say the next three days will be the ones to really watch. If we start to see this really blow up number wise here in America by people that have not traveled to Mexico then I will really start to worry.

Remember, all it takes is one mutation in one person in one place that spreads it to others that can make this spin really out of control quickly. Keep your eyes on the real news and think for yourself. You put two and two together.

Possible places of new "possible" cases since I started typing this as reported by Veratect:

Fort Worth, Tx
Boulder, Co
Shreveport, La
Rio Grande City, Tx

"I wouldn't be overly reassured by that," Dr. Besser told reporters at CDC's headquarters in Atlanta. He raised the possibility of more severe cases -- and deaths -- in the United States.

This begs the question, how much do we realy not know about this flu?

My great concern is that this is a bridge virus for HN51 to jump from human to human.

If NYC is compromised, the rest of the country is going to go fast. But it seems like the cases in NYC are pretty isolated. It's also been spring break and tons of people who were off have been traveling to Mexico. I don't think there are any cases in CT yet.

What if the mossie picks up infected blood with the swine/engineered virus?

Plasmodium falciparum/vivax Malaria bunged in as well? I am a malaria specialist, if you want to know more PM me.

I've mysteriously got a cold since being under that chemtrail last week, so fingers crossed I maybe oddly immune to the swine as my body is dealing with a cold and colds with me last for months.

The oddest thing would be that all those with vaccine damage end up being the best off in this?

Scotland has it as well

If any place is bound to be well protected against this sort of thing would by NYC.

I bet you anybody who shows symptoms in the next couple of days will be quaranteened and watched closely.

I figure we'll see more outbreaks in the South, progressing north in the next couple of days.

i just got home from cortland, had to buy some masks

My great concern is that this is a bridge virus for HN51 to jump from human to human.

if that happens we are all stuffed and you will see other problems arise like food shortages from people stocking up and waiting it out and riots over anything and people out to kill the infected being scared,

my views

I think we have suspected case here in my area, but oddly the news story is gone now.

It is so far still cached though.

Shreveport patient being tested for swine flu

A woman admitted to LSU Hospital in Shreveport over the weekend showed symptoms of swine flu, KTBS News has learned.

A blood sample taken from the woman was sent to the federal Centers for Disease Control for testing. Swine flu has not been confirmed, health officials said.

That's a little dark isn't it?

In any case this virus doesn't need H1N5 it can kill all the people it wants on it's own.

It's just a matter of finding the right mutation.

apacheman=disinfo agent.


The CDC is calling the a mutation unprecidented, and this guy wan't every one to justwait and see? Also the swine flue break out originaly occured in the us in the late seventies, on both US army and Navy Bases, My best Friends wife's father was one of the infected and innoculized, multiple people on his base died after recieving the vacine, same as the army exposed and vacinated. There is nothing natural about this virus... Understand it has been taking years for these viruses to mutate and cross the species boundary, and now these type of dis-info peprs will try to tell you a virus that containes human, avian, and swine influenza charicteristics in the same strain is natural. Prepare for the coming weeks, It is all starting now. Look at it rationally if the Gov. of mexico behind the urging of the UN and CDC are going to impose a quarantine on over 15 million people, what kind of panic do you think will take place in mexico???Continue your thoughts on what if any possible impacts that will have on the us, Like maybe mass migration of the un infected mexican population trying to run from the disease by coming to the US. Now the preperations of FEMA and their population relocation, interments centers and disposal sites all fall into their perpective places in the population controll agenda don't they. Just a thought. feel free to U2U me to expand, I do not wish to bicker or give any energy to the prove it croud. I will dpo them one better, you Disprove it.
