i shld really check that 8% figure out, it was everywhere this AM (And thing that made me pay attention) but I can't find cites now.
― stet, Monday, 27 April 2009 21:35 (seventeen years ago)
well, i'm guessing it's from the 80 or so deaths from the 1000 or so confirmed cases in Mexico. which last i checked had been upgraded to 100 or so deaths out of like 1300, but that's essentially the same. thing is, tho, is that (as stated somewhere up thread) there are probably loads of much milder cases of H1N1 in Mexico that haven't presented to hospital, that the actual mortality rate is much lower.

I'm not exactly holding up "the end is nigh" signs in the streets, but the "other bad stuff happens so this can't be a big deal/one time I heard there was something to worry about and then it wasn't that bad" argument is retarded.

well, when 36K die each year from plain ole flu, why the fuck are people freaking out about a tiny number of deaths? i actually know the reason. ratings, clicks, money. media outlets are pushing this story to drive traffic and viewers. call me when 37K are dead.

Swine Flu Prompts U.S. to Declare Public Health Emergency
I made an awesome your mom joke about max's mom having swine flu and giving it to me, but then my hard drive crashed
Hopefully this flu pandemic will be similar to the time I got flu really bad in elementary school, missed school for a week, and beat Dragon Warrior I TWICE.Did I BEAT Dragon Warrior I?I taught that game who was boss so many times I literally lost count. For a long time that was the only game I had so I would just play it continually, beat it, start again, over and over.and I DID get the diamond shield! I had the Nintendo Power strategy guide to it so I pretty much knew where everything was. Including that one hidden item in the middle of the swamp.
Mideast First: Israeli man hospitalized on suspicions...must... resist... zing
Or my dad. Or my mom. Do we all secretly have the same parents? Do any of your parents make unexpected visits to Missouri occasionally?"

Thanks for the excellent breakdown. I can't believe you resisted that Israeli zing, you're the king of zing!
