Good News and Bad News About Swine FluPosted on Sep 1, 2009
Researchers at the University of Maryland say not to worry about the dreaded swine flu mutating into an even more dreaded super bug. That’s the good news. The bad news: Swine flu doesn’t mutate, based on their tests, because it doesn’t have to. It’s stronger than other flu strains and spreads like wildfire. At least among ferrets. Who should be concerned? Young people. Unlike traditional flu, which is much more dangerous among the elderly, the porcine variety is most lethal for people in their 20s, 30s and 40s, reports The Associated Press. —PS

Very funny , grousefeather. I can only hope you’re on to something. because from where I’m standing the biggest threat to the continuation of the human race is politicians and the intelligence services, both paid for out of our tax money. At this stage we’re paying them to oppress us, subject us to fake terror attacks, start wars we never agreed to and to infect us with flu strains they invented in a lab for purposes known only to themselves. Talkin’ about a revolution? Damn straight.

What is really going on here?? Is it a money thing for Big Pharma? Fear mongering? The Flu kills 60,000 people in this country EVERY YEAR and this Flu killed what 12 people? I will never let our Government stick something in my arm, never. I smell a rat and it stinks like Fascism…......

Ferrets are members of the weasel family so does that mean politicians will be particularly susceptible to Swine flu?
