Alright, someone read my post cause no one ever does. But what if you think swine flu was mechanically engineered (as in made by humans)? I mean think about it, it's emerging in the world RIGHT as a big health care crisis is going on in America. What do you think? Oh and I think that talking about the swine flu is kind of stupid since the real flu kills like 3x as many people in 1 year. But I do think it's necessary to study because it is a new strain of virus.
my brother was diagnosed wit hit on monday. thankfully I don't live with him, half a dozen members of my family do though. and he had it for 84hours before we went to the doctor.
to the guy( and the people) asking about why its such a big thing. this is basically the same thing as the spanish flu during WW1. although we are combatting it much better( taking precautions, keeping clean) its not that they made a big deal out of it then nothign happened, it has been bad BECAUSE they made a big deal out of it.
It is a miracle you survived! I'm so happy now! :cry:pvtdonut54
:lol: Yes it is!
