Far be it for me (!) to prove a point but now the massive media hype has died down and the media have stopped predicting everyone is going to die from the slightest sniffle, the incidents of reported “swine flu” have plummeted.
No sh*t, sherlock!!!!
Finally the latest info from within the NHS suggests on 17% of those who had “swine flu” and were placed on Tamiflu actually had the disease.
Hysterical media, public sheep like attittude and negligent government led awareness campaign leads to a deluded nation which can’t even care for it’s self with a cold ffs!!!
What would our grandparents think!
Kent f OBE- there is a photo of me somewhere on here though lord know where it is now :D

Will even if your neighbour has got “proper” swine flu , if you are going to get it you are going to get it unless you put yourself into isolation for the next god knows how long. :wink:

So the swine flu pandemic that we were all sceptical about and made no end of jokes over is eventually underway.
The number of confirmed cases in my town is well into the hundreds with confirmed cases at my work place, my daughters school and my other daughters preschool.
I myself have been in direct contact with at least 4 children last friday who have now been diagnosed with it over the weekend.
Luckily so far the symptoms are no worse than seasonal flu, but still nasty non the less.
So I wondered if this is the same story nationally or whether I am just in a ‘swine flu’ pocket?
Swine Flu is a hyped up cold. It’s no more dangerous than the normal flu. If you’re very young or very old and contract normal flu you could die. Same with Swine Flu.
I’m more worried about the Chinese unleashing the mutant strain of the bubonic plague in Tibet recently, quarantining an entire town of 10,000. Strangely, the BBC has tried covering up this story (probably under Chinese influence). They’ve called the mutant strain of the new black death ‘Pneumonic Plague’.
The Chinese are using it for chemical warfare. We all know the Chinese aren’t too keen on the Tibetans, so it’s very suspect that it suddenly popped up in Tibet.

They aint called it anything, pneumonic plague has always been about. As for the danger… take some antibiotics… simples
19 August, 2009 at 8:04 am #400507Utter tosh. This strain of the Bubonic Plague, and indeed the Bubonic Plague its self does not exist in that particular area of the world. It just does not occur naturally there.
Strange how it pops up in Tibet, killing off only Tibetans quarantined in a Tibetan town which is known to have been heavily oppressed by the Chinese for many years.
The Chinese have created a mutant strain of the Bubonic Plague which attacks the lungs and kills you within 24 hours. If you’ve invented some form of super anti-biotic that works within a matter of seconds of taking it, Pete, then please stop keeping it from the world.
As we speak innocent Tibetans are dying from this plague released by the Chinese, and for some reason, heavily covered up by the West.
I’m not quite sure why the West is so keen to cover up the fact that the Chinese have released the Pneumonic Plague which will kill you, healthy or not, within 24 hours… yet are equally as keen to make you panic over a bit of a cold (aka “Swine Flu”).
The hypocrisies of the government never seizes to amaze me.
What really tickles my curiosity, is that late Saturday night of last week, around 2-3 AM, the BBC actually rolled this story on BBC News 24. They of course played it down making out like it was a natural occurrence (despite it being impossible it occurring naturally in that part of the world).
..Then the next day pretended and acted like it never happened!
I was chatting in my site the other day with a few chatters who were discussing Swine Flu, and I mentioned that I’m more worried about the Chinese government’s new chemical warfare weapon. They hadn’t even heard about the Tibetan towns being quarantined and then infected with the Pneumonic Plague (which I must stress is a mutant strain of the Bubonic Plague, a much deadlier, much more infectious, airborne, kills you within 24 hours plague!).
I’m intrigued as to why we are covering it up. Have we been threatened by the Chinese government that if we ran the story again or alerted the masses it wouldn’t just be the Tibetans they’d be testing their new chemical warfare weaponry on?
It would be very easy for China to wipe us out. I mean most of our imports come from there. Children’s toys. Clothes. Rice. They’d have us infected within a matter of days. By the time we found out we’ve got it we’d be dead.
..But yes, let’s all carry on panicking about a bit of a cold bug going around instead. :roll:
19 August, 2009 at 9:09 am #400508I have a good idea… let’s promote scare mongering and conspiracy theories. Pneumonic plague has always been about and probably accounted for most of the feaths in the Great Plague
Epidemiology
Since 2001, the World Health Organization (WHO) has reported six plague outbreaks, though some may go unreported because they often happen in remote areas. Between 1998 and 2008, nearly 24,000 cases have been reported, including about 2,000 deaths, in Africa, Asia, the Americas and Eastern Europe. The vast majority of the world’s cases are in Africa.Pathology and transmission
Pneumonic plague can be caused in two ways: primary, which results from the inhalation of aerosolised plague bacteria, or secondary, when septicemic plague spreads into lung tissue from the bloodstream. Pneumonic plague is not exclusively vector-borne like bubonic plague; instead it can be spread from person to person. There have been cases of pneumonic plague resulting from the dissection or handling of contaminated animal tissue. This is one type of the formerly known Black Plague. It could kill 90%–100% of a population if the victims coughed and passed on the bacteria.Symptoms
The most apparent symptom of pneumonic plague is coughing, often with hemoptysis. With pneumonic plague, the first signs of illness are fever, headache, weakness, and rapidly developing pneumonia with shortness of breath, chest pain, cough, and sometimes bloody or watery sputum. The pneumonia progresses for two to four days and may cause respiratory failure and shock. Without early treatment, patients will die, some within 24 hours.19 August, 2009 at 9:11 am #400509And the 1918-1920 flu pandemic killed at least 25 million and perhaps as many as 100 million in it’s 2ND wave but hey it’s only a cold eh
