My stomach still hurts. Hello? Anyone out there? Help?

Alarmist media bias.

This.

I was taking care of my Grandma Monday watching CNN all day when a write in text comment they scrolled was, and I'm fully serious, attributed to a "Seymore Butts" and read something to the effect of, "Hey CNN, nobody is going to die from this in the U.S. that wouldn't have just died from the regular flu so give it a rest already..."

I liked when a doctor came on and said, "Stop buying and wearing those stupid masks and just be hygienic for a bit, stupid."

The swine flu outbreak that has alarmed the world for a week now appears less ominous, with the virus showing little staying power in the hardest-hit cities and scientists suggesting it lacks the genetic fortitude of past killer bugs. President Barack Obama even voiced hope Friday that it may turn out to be no more harmful than the average seasonal flu.

You mean the media and local governments overhyped something that turned out to be nothing different than usual? NO! I read about how ONE KID was tested for this thing and they shut the whole fucking school down. Whatever happened to getting some facts and knowing what the actual story is before pushing the panic BUTTon?

If it was any less potent than first feared, it would actually make you better.

As it is, only retards got freaked out by the swine flu.

I think I might have this. I have not felt this sick in over eleven years. I've been battling this since Monday night and it gets worse adn worse every minute.

"CZEHCHAS SWINE FLU" IS NOT A GIMMICK.

I could only sleep for one hour last night and I think I was hallucinating. If you never hear frmo me again, I died of this.

Go to the hospital so they can tell you to go home and rest.

 

[Czech]

I'm feeling a little better now that I got some rest and some vitamins, garlic, chicken soup, horseradish, that sort of thing. Flu didn't know I'm one tough customer.

 

[KOAB]

Judging from the previous post, you may've just been drunk.

 

[BUTT]

Yeah Czech, that post was almost KOAB-ish.

I was really in another place when I made that first post. I'm sorry. I still feel congested and sore and awful, but I'm not bumping into things and sweating and convulsing, so that's a +.

I think I was hallucinating

Trust me, if you did, you'd know it. No one "maybe" hallucinates.

Mexico resorts offer 'flu-free' deal

Cancun: Hotel occupancy has sunk because of the scare. Fifteen hotels have temporarily closed.


By Laura Bly, USA TODAY
Desperate to woo back travelers who cancelled trips in the wake of Mexico's swine flu outbreak, more than 20 coastal resort hotels have launched a "flu-free guarantee": Guests who catch the H1N1 virus in Mexico — and have the blood test to prove it — can get their next three vacations for free.
The initiative comes as the country's tourism industry tallies staggering losses from a flu epidemic that Mexican officials first confirmed on April 23. The country's official death toll rose to 64 Thursday, with 2,656 confirmed infections. The virus has so far infected nearly 6,500 people worldwide, including 3,352 cases in the USA.

After the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and U.S. State Department warned travelers against nonessential trips to Mexico, U.S. cruise lines dropped port calls, airlines waived cancellation fees and resorts emptied. On Friday, the CDC downgraded its Mexico travel warning, following lobbying efforts from Mexican hoteliers and the Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association, whose May 5 letter to Pres. Obama noted that "it is now apparent that the health implications of H1N1 are not limited to Mexico, (and) CDC and WHO officials have publicly stated the H1N1 virus is generally no greater health risk than seasonal influenza."

Tourism minister Rodolfo Elizondo estimated this week that a flu-related drop in foreign visitors could cost Mexico up to 250,000 jobs and as much as $4 billion. this year, or nearly a third of what the country earned from 22.6 million visitors last year.

The new flu guarantee is offered at Real Resorts, AMResorts, and Karisma's El Dorado and Azul hotels, most in Cancun or the Riviera Maya. At least 25 Cancun hotels have closed because of low occupancy, and many are slashing rates.

To qualify for a free vacation under the flu guarantee, travelers must have made a new reservation at a participating hotel between May 8 and June 30 for travel taking place between May 8 and Dec. 20, 2009.

Sniffles don't count: Guests must provide a doctor's certification and positive test results, taken within five days of departure, for Influenza A — H1N1. The three return stays — one per year — are valid for the original traveler plus one companion; blackout dates and other restrictions apply.

I wonder if you get extra free vacations if you die.

I'd probably go out of my way to catch that stupid flu.
