Seriously, WHY is this swine flu on every TV channel from here to Mumbai? Are they trying to fill the void left by OJ and Britney?
Here are some quick facts -
People in the US - 300,000,000
People in Mehico - 110,000,000
Confirmed deaths from swine flu - 150
Cases in Mehico - 2000
Cases in the US - 65
People killed this year from the drug lords - 11,000
People killed by AIDs in the US - 15,000
(All facts come from me counting on my fingers)
Here are the percentages -
Americans with swine flu - .0002%
Mexicans with swine flu - .02%
Worldwide deaths from swine flu - .0000023%
You have a higher chance of getting struck by lightning, bitten by a shark, or contracting a disease from Flava Flav than dying from swine flu.
Bloomberg reports -
"If the world is facing a pandemic, 'this is a nice, gentle pandemic,' said John Oxford, a virologist at Queen Mary’s School of Medicine in London."
What is a nice gentle pandemic? It either is a pandemic or it's a media fabrication, you can't have both!
Bloomy also reports-
"The World Bank, in a worst-case scenario published in October, said a flu pandemic that’s similar in scope to the 1918 outbreak known as the Spanish flu could kill 71 million people worldwide and push the economy into a “major global recession” costing more than $3 trillion."
That was 1918! When people still rode around on horses and fought dragons for fair maidens and stuff. The reason this won't happen again is because we don't use leeches and chanting to cure a flu! Or cut off someone's arm and let them bleed the flu out! And aren't we already in a global recession? Is this just a clever plan by the WHO to get some bailout money as well?
Why is this newsworthy? Did some media conglomerate invest in Tamiflu or face masks? On the upside, criminals now have great disguises to rob banks, plunder, and create general mayhem. Just put on a face mask and no one knows who the real criminals are. (I think I saw that in a movie.) What can the banks do? Make everyone take off their masks before they come in?
