What if I know someone that died from H1N1? you still think its a game?
What makes this one any different? Hmmmm well for starters it's not your typical flu. Your typical flu is lethal/potentially fatal only if you have an already weak immune system. Swine flu on the other hand, is less indiscriminate when it comes to lethality and fatality--meaning it kills even healthy people.
Here's a post I made a while back concerning the matter at hand:
This this means, or rather, what this shows, is the fact that ~87% of people who've contracted swine flu, have died. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I am confident that the "common flu" does not have a kill rate (mortality rate) of ~87%. Additionally, realize that health organizations from all across the globe have been communicating with each other, sharing information, and actively making efforts, for months now, in a concerted effort to mitigate the impact of the "swine flu" since its initial detection jump (first human case) in the earlier part of THIS YEAR. Imagine what would happen, the amount of deaths that would stem from "swine flu", if the various health organizations had been lax in their efforts to combat it, and communities all across the world had been kept in the dark about this strain of influenza, or rather, had been informed that "it's just like the common flu..." so no worries. Imagine the kill rate then?
3. [color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]"whereas hundreds of thousands of people die every year from cancer."[/color] Sure, but just as well, "hundreds of thousands of people die every year" from less-virulent strains of influenza as well--so what are you sayin'. That said, imagine the number that would die if more virulent strains of influenza, like the [color= rgb(0, 255, 255)]PANDEMIC[/color] "swine flu", were allowed to run their course. Oh and just to give you an idea, here's a look at the body counts for the previous known influenza strains that hit pandemic proportions:
I don't know about you, but--avg. of a few million > avg. of "hundreds of thousands". Well at least, that's what I was taught back in math class during grade school. Now granted, War in conjunction with primitive medicine and a lesser understanding of both viral-host dynamics (as it pertains to influenza) and the recombination of influenza viral strains in pigs and birds, may have increased the #'s a bit in favor of the highlighted strains, the fact still remains--a virulent strain of influenza, which will ALWAYS reach pandemic proportions if left alone, and will always produce a higher mortality rate than cancer, annually.
AND BECAUSE I JUST COULDN'T RESIST...

5. I'm not trying to scare anyone with the facts, but just as well, I think it's very irresponsible and damn near dangerous for YOU and others, or for others as a result of what you said, to go around thinking that "swine flu" is like the annual flu or the common cold. Smarten up fam.
...
That said, realize that I'm not suggesting that people go on ahead and take the H1N1 vaccine. In my opinion, the closest thing to actually having swine flu is taking the vaccine. All I meant to say in the quoted post was that, it's highly irresponsible and very dangerous for people to go around thinking that the H1N1 strain of influenza is no different than the common and annual ("regular") flu when in fact, the two are very different, and realizing this could be the difference between life and death.

damn son you actually took the time to reply to me with all of that?
i didnt really take the time out to read all of what you said cause i dont really give a damn but the swine flu better kill around a million people for me toeven think your $#%$ is credible and from what im seeing so far there is no way its getting that big.
