2 swine flus in Kan., US total 11; 8 likely in NYC

[Guest NewsBot]

NEW YORK (AP) -- Two cases of the human swine influenza have been confirmed in Kansas and one more in California, bringing the U.S. total to 11. At least eight students at a New York City high school probably have swine flu also, but health officials said Saturday they don't know whether they have the same strain of the virus that has killed people in Mexico....

This 's getting serious. They are talking pandemic on this. I'm not saying anything myself, but with all the past talk of diseases coming from Mexico and illegal immigrants into the US, this isn't going to help that cause, at least if the media is honest.

 

Oh yea. The first person to think or say that I'm racist can kiss my ass. Almost all of the warnings and infections caused by e-colli or salmonilla have been on stuff connected to either Mexico or illegal immigrant labor.

 

Use toilet paper and wash your friggin' hands. As for salmonilla, quit messing with the chicken/turkey poop and wash your hands.

 

I really hope this isn't some kind of bio-attack that has been released in the US because nobody since Reagan wanted to secure the border. Well GW Bush tried but was obstructed and the 800 mile fence he was able to pass was cut this year.

Boy I hope not. I was just talking to a few illegals the other day. I even bought them a few big macs and now I'm getting a sore throat. You don't suppose...?

[phreakwars]

Damn border jumping pigs anyway.

[ImWithStupid]

Damn racist doctors talking about all the diseases that have been re-introduced to the US because of illegal immigration.

Oh look, now that guy who wants to secede is asking for some government help. Friggen Socialist.

 

Think Progress Secessionist Gov. Rick Perry asks for federal help to deal with swine flu.

 

I think we should worry about our own country first, that traitor country, Texas, can just piss off. NO FORIEGN AID.

 

THAT'S SOCIALISM.

 

Can't have your cake and eat it too.

[RoyalOrleans]

"Don't let a good disaster go to waste!"

 

At this point, the reaction has been overreation!

 

How about being proactive instead of reactive? Some things will slip through the net, however closing and securing our borders would be a good start.

 

In the meantime, wash your hands thoroughly and don't kiss an illegal.

How quickly do the dogs of war turn on their masters?

 

As of now, the federal government is going to release 25% of its stockpile of Tamiflu and Relenza. Governor Rick Perry of Texas has requested for more than 37,000 doses of Tamiflu to be sent to his state. The liberals are giving him a hard time about that. They are calling him a "hypocrite," citing that just two weeks ago Rick Perry made mention of succession and now he is calling on the federal government for help in this flu pandemic. Yeah, that's about as braindead an argument as you could expect from a liberal.

 

And as of now, Texas is still part of the union and the federal government does have control of these stockpiles. So... if he's a hypocrite for requesting aid then so be it!

 

Let us not forget that the United States would be the first to send said stockpiles to foreign governments to thwart a possible pandemic, or send aid to help with a natural calamity.

[RoyalOrleans]

Damn border jumping pigs anyway.

Comparatively speaking, I would equate border jumpers with kangaroos.

 

I've never seen a pig jump.

 

Ok... maybe once. Ned Beatty.

Of course they're gonna give Texas the aid, that's what we Americans do for other Americans. But, ya know that guy just HAS to get all kinds of SHlT flipped to him the entire time.

They always have been Americans.

Of course they have, everybody knows that, nobody denies it. Doesn't mean we can't flip them crap for talking trash about America and saying they wanna secede.

Can't be a bio-attack, the virus has only been killing Mexicans in Mexico, it wouldn't make sense. You have a point on the rest though.

[phreakwars]

So do the Canadian immigrants count too? A bunch of cases there as well.

Or it can be punishment for chicken & pig humpers... I'll know where to start pointing fingers & raising suspicions if lamb flu ever develops and starts spreading....

Damn it, 9 probable cases here in IL - 9 Probable Swine Flu Cases Hit Illinois | NBC Chicago I hope they turn out to be just regular flu. Even one of my favorite local morning djs was home sick today with the flu..

I hope they turn out to be just regular flu.

 

The swine flu hasn't killed anyone in the US this year.

 

 

The regular flu has already killed thousands this year.

True (although see BM's comment above), but what is alarming about this type of flu is that most people have not been exposed to it. It is a rarer and newer kind of strain, thus most people haven't developed an immunity to it and a vaccine doesn't exist yet either. So it has the merit and possibility of turning into what the so-called Spanish Flu of 1918 did and even what common European diseases did to the Natives way back when in this continent.

There was a death in Texas yesterday... A 22 month old Mexican baby visiting relatives.

You'd think our border patrol would be able to catch a toddler crossing the border.

[phreakwars]

Don't blame Mexicans, blame American companies who ship jobs to Mexico to avoid OSHA and EPA regulations and practices and save a buck or 2.
