DC Tom Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Let's see..... From the Whitehouse itself now.....not some bunker-digging fruitcake like myself...... 30-50% will get it. That's on top of normal illness. Do you know what that will do to our splended economic "recovery"? If 50% of the working population misses an extra week of work/productivity because of this, and most of that happens over a 3-6 month period....without taking any quarrantine into account, we will lose 2-4% productivity on an annual basis over that time. Once again, that is without any proactive measures to keep the virus "under control". If 100% of the hospital beds are filled with flu patients.....what else does that mean? Prepare to meet your friendly military men and women at the front door of the hospital! Having a heart attack or stroke? Good luck getting through the cirucs in time to get proper care. Oh....and since 50% of the population could be sick, that includes health care workers. I'm sure all those nurses aides making $8 an hour will just be RUSHING back to work to deal with this mess. I'm also sure the doctors and nurses won't be overworked. Schools? Police? Garbage? Snowplows? Your Work? Supermarkets? Gasoline? Get the drift? So don't be shocked when we all take a "little timeout" to "let the virus take it's course".....in the meantime we'll just shut down 400 banks while the gettin is good. I mean...we're all on holiday anyway, right? But then again....I'm just an idiot on a message board. It's not like your God in the Whitehouse is telling you what they are expecting now. Days are gonna get shorter, too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Frenkle Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 If you have the Swine Flu World Wide Mortality Rate of Novel H1N1 (as of 6 July 2009) = 0.45% Up since previously calculated World Mortality rate (as of July 3) of 0.42% US mortality rate of Novel H1N1 (as of 10 July 2009) = 0.57% Up since previously calculated US Mortality rate (as of 2 July 2009) of 0.5% The above mortality rates are based on the number of cases reported and or hospitalized, and the number of deaths reported to be related to the pandemic, it is believed by CDC that the number of actual cases in the US is higher (maybe over one million already) which would reduce the mortality rate significantly (unless more deaths should be considered in the equation), but it would still be higher than the death rates of the seasonal flu. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_percentage_..._2009_swine_flu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 How many days have we now been above the 200 day moving average? But we'll drop below when the flu - spread by chemtrails, of course - kills everyone, causing the Illuminati to declare a banking holiday and round us all up into FEMA camps. We don't know why they're going to do this...but it's to the benefit of Big Oil, I'm sure. But it'll result in the Bills-Pats* game being cancelled...so there's a plus...

Play fair, it is about overpopulation. This group wants to kill everyone off and take over the world. To do so they are going to inoculate the youngest and oldest with a a virus that will kill them all off. This of course leads to a group of adults who are somewhat miffed that their sons, daughters and parents are dead. They should fall into line easily enough though.

How long until we hear about the Swine Flu Death Panels that will be setup to decide which H1N1 infectees get treatment and which will be slated to die?

Dwight Drane Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 How many days have we now been above the 200 day moving average? I hear you....good for anyone who has made money on the move. I'd invest in hookers and booze before I would put anything into this market. In the meantime.....I suggest you read the 86 page report. Tom just may get his football cancelled yet. Some snippits for those too lazy to do any real research.... At least 30,000 will die from this flu in addition to the annual 30,000 from regular flu Expected to blossom September 1st...and peak the 2nd week of October, at which point 1-2 MILLION Americans will get the flu each day Most of the 90,000 projected dead will be ages 0-24 If you are 0-24 you have 20x the chance of getting the flu than someone 65+ Vaccines will not be ready in time for anticipated peak It will be up to regional executives to decide on closing of work, school, sporting events etc. under current projected numbers If there is a bigger outbreak such as 1918, authorities will need to close borders, deny personal rights, and confiscate valuable commodities as command is shifted to Department of Defense, Homeland Security, et. al (page 44 of report) If outbreak is delayed.....massive vaccination program is in order There are reccomended subsidies to workers and schools to make up for lost salary and state funding to encourage people to stay home if sick White House Swine Flu Plan Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as fun having clueless liberals spew nonsense. See how riled up you get in response to just one question? I feel sorry for you and your narcissism personality disorder and that's why I choose not to jump in every time you want attention. As I said early on, narcissism is the second most toxic personality disorder for me to deal with. Every interaction with you transfers a little of the "ick." Anyways, now you got your bit of attention--I'm sure your monkey is happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramius Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 What the !@#$ is this retardedness? Nutjob didn't even bother to read the drivel he is citing. All of his "numbers" are simply from a possible scenario. Douche Drane apparently failed to see the 2 dozen different times where the document mentioned that numbers printed were NOT PREDICTIVE, but simply a test scenario. Also, the little "government seizure of property and freedoms." Sure it's mentioned, but of course its only mentioned in the small section where they play the "what if this is the worst pandemic the world has ever seen" game. The odds are more likely that whacko will be arrested (for shooting some random person who he thinks is there to "give him the vaccine" and take his stockpiled top ramen and dinty moore) and put in the nut house before any type of banking holiday occurs.

I particularly liked At least 30,000 will die from this flu in addition to the annual 30,000 from regular flu and Most of the 90,000 projected dead will be ages 0-24 Wait...what? 90000 of the 30000 projected dead will be under 24? That's, like, 3.5 times more, isn't it? And then there's this gem: Expected to blossom September 1st...and peak the 2nd week of October, at which point 1-2 MILLION Americans will get the flu each day September 1? Not the second?

The problem with wiki's is any joe schmo can enter data. Does the source make the numbers wrong? Look it up on the CDC's site if you want to refute the facts. It's easy to say that everything with 'Wiki' on the page is wrong even though that's far from the truth. FYI, since academia has seemingly finally become relavent in your life, it's spelled with an 'a'. The point is that the mortality rate of those infected with Swine Flu is well under 1%. The apocalypse will have to wait for a more evolved flu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
