Dude, 8 people are confirmed to be infected in the US and every single one survived. On that note, CLOSE THE BORDERS.

As soon as they announce a case in Washington, I'm going out and getting late gloves as well as surgical masks.
Until I catch it. Yes...yes I do.Originally Posted by JohnnyRedStorm
St. Francis Prep has either 20 or 28 students infected.
Think this is still a ploy by Progressives to control the masses, Fede? Imbecile.

- Flu infecting people who have not been to Mexico
- Virus spreading between humans, not from contact with pigs
- New strain causing everything from mild to fatal illness
GENEVA (Reuters) - Swine flu is infecting people who have not been to Mexico and the outbreak shows no sign of slowing down, the World Health Organization said on Wednesday.
The WHO's emergency committee had not scheduled a meeting to increase its pandemic alert level but was likely to do so soon, acting Assistant Director-General Keiji Fukuda said.
"It appears we are moving closer to that, but we are not there yet," he told a news conference. "At this point there is very intense analysis of all available information going on."
WHO experts are scrutinizing the transmission patterns of swine flu to see if it is spreading among people who have never been to Mexico -- the epicenter of the outbreak -- or had close contact with those who had.
Fukuda said people who have not traveled were among those falling ill, although many of those had contact with people who had recently traveled to Mexico.
Once the disease showed signs of spreading in a sustained way within communities in the United States, Europe or elsewhere, Fukuda said the WHO would look to again raise the alert level, as it did on Monday from 3 to 4.
The U.N. agency's official guidance indicates: "the declaration of Phase 5 is a strong signal that a pandemic is imminent."
WHO Director-General Margaret Chan could call an emergency committee meeting at short notice, Fukuda said, saying this could happen "whenever the evidence suggests."
In its own laboratories, the WHO has confirmed only eight deaths from swine flu, including seven in Mexico and one in the United States, a case that U.S. authorities have said was a Mexican toddler. Mexico has reported as many as 159 deaths from the virus.
Fukuda also cited 114 confirmed swine flu infections in Mexico, the United States, Canada, Israel, Spain, Britain and New Zealand, with mild symptoms reported outside Mexico.
"It is clear that the virus is spreading and we don't see any evidence of this slowing down at this point," he said.
There is no link between contact with pigs or eating pork and infection with the virus, which is spreading from person to person and appears to cause more diarrhea than seasonal flu...
