Yeah. Imagine if they did this for viruses that have been known to kill people like HIV.
There are few ways to catch HIV/AIDS.
There are a few ways to treat swine flu so that it is no more fatal than regular flu.
I asked an influenza virus researcher to give me his opinion of it:
Terrible, really terrible!
First the headline. There are over 150 dead young people in Mexico. A 2 year old boy died in Texas. This is a lethal virus.
No one has died of this virus, any more than any classic flu patient, they have died of a respiratory infection that happens to anyone with fluid forming in their lungs (it's called pneumonia) regardless of whether or not they have swine flu. My mother's lower left lung was pushed against and partially collapsed after her nephrectomy, which resulted in fluid buildup and pneumonia. Did she die? No. Did she have swine flu? No. Would swine flu + pneumonia kill you? Well, for a 61 year old woman with cancer + recovering from a major surgery + weakened system from not eating healthy and chain smoking + pneumonia was pretty much taken care of by two days bed rest and some antibiotics and then they forced her to walk around the ward like any other nephrectomy patient. Swine flu ain't shit, bitches.
If we are poking fun, when don't we? I find the whole subject fascinating. I've talked to my kid about it. I'm curious if it'll mutate into the bad mojo this fall; that said there is zero guarantee any mutation will be any worse than the current strain - roll dice for weaker/same/stronger/irrelevant. That doesn't mean I'm going to waste my time fapping over minutae, nor does it mean that I think the information that I spread or encounter on this site is not appreciated just because there's some humor intermixed with it.
