The Sky Is Falling!
#1
From the CityTV News website speaking of the Public Health Agency of Canada:

"The agency estimates between 11,000 and 58,000 people (in Canada) could die from a full blown flu pandemic"

I know they go on to explain it further but is that sort of report REALLY necessary at this stage? Especially considering how stupid the average person is. Sells papers I guess?

Oh and ever wondered how something gets transmitted from an animal to human?:

it's ridiculous -- with Malaysia and Newzealand issuing travel alerts to Canada.

My mom even called a couple times this weekend telling me to be careful...

- I work remotely most of the time
- I can order all my food online if I need to
- I have several hundred video games and movies.

go ahead, bring on the end of the world -- would be nice to wander around nekkid and not have the cops called on me.

For the love all all things holy lets hope it doesn't come to that. I don't think they call cops for those sort of catastrophes anyway?

Quote:The complainant told police he saw a woman online performing “inappropriate sexual behaviour” first with her dog, then with her young child, over an internet webcam feed the previous evening.

Quote:The OPP and CAS expressed their “sincere thanks” to the concerned citizen that reported the incident.

I have a couple concerns about the above quotes from the same newspaper story. Did the cops investigate the complaintant with regard to him maybe having child porn as well? I don't get it. Why did it take him over night to think about what he actually saw and call the police?

I think that the media is bored with discussing the economy so they are doing there typical over reaction to the swine flu. Not to say that the swine flu is isn’t a big deal but at this stage everyone in Canada and the USA are recovering and only one person was hospitalized from complications.

I guess this flu can affect a lot of people and hopefully it doesn’t spread as quickly as they say it can.

I was just watching CNN and it showed 4 infected states in red (40 cases, mostly in NY) and then it showed Canada completely in RED...WTF.

This is why I hate the media, they want to scare everyone into staying inside. I wonder how many people think all of Canada is infected after watching CNN?

If they had their way, Canada would just be one giant resources bucket &quot;state&quot; for the good old U S of A. The fact that their childish graphic artists pulled that stunt is neither new nor alarming to me - you see it all the time. We're just used to their juvenile antics by now so most of it slides under the radar. :rolleyes:

this is a different strain and seems to be killing some healthy young adults though....thats what worries me.

I dont think we really need to panic though...

1/2 a million people are killed by influenza each year, I think the media is blowing this up for thier own ratings for sure.
