US Flu Epidemic Update: All Red
We are not epidemiology experts, but something tells us the US flu (or is that communist?) epidemic is getting worse, not better.
A week ago:
And today (from Google):
In other news, from USA Today:
Flu activity remained high in the United States through Jan. 13 but is decreasing in some areas, numbers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released Friday show. Twenty-nine children have died as a result of the flu since the season's start.
Although there's no national reporting system for adult flu-related deaths, the CDC said that 8.3% of deaths reported in its 122 Cities Mortality Reporting System were due to pneumonia and influenza. That's above the epidemic threshold of 7.2%. The rate of deaths linked to pneumonia and flu the week before was 7.3%.
Forty-eight states reported widespread geographic influenza activity, but the wave is beginning to wane in some areas, CDC said.
In other flu news, the company that makes Tamiflu, an antiviral drug used to lessen the severity of flu in those exposed to the virus, has released reserve stocks to lessen shortages in some parts of the country.
"With the addition of these reserve supplies, we anticipate having sufficient supply of Tamiflu capsules to meet demand for this flu season," spokeswoman Tara Iannuccillo said.
The liquid form of the drug, given to children because they can't easily swallow pills, has been difficult to find. Genentech, of South San Francisco, has worked with the Food and Drug Administration to get more 75-milligram capsules of the drug on the market in the United States, Iannuccillo said. Pharmacists can mix the contents of the capsules with a sweet liquid to make a drug that children can easily take.

This is a result of America's total ignorance of all the healthy products available out there. I'm now a full-time Herbalife distributor. If any of you want to see the fantastic products that herbalife has to offer, please PM me. It's so cool to be able to spread these awsome products and spread the Michelle Obama health revolution!
o god, kill me now....
No ~ MDB is right...

Chewbacca developed a fascinating new okra strand that 'grows itself' in the WH rose garden... It requires NO WATERING or CARE while you're on a trip to the Alhambra~Spain with 2 dozen of your BFF's during peak okra growing season... When you return, it harvests itself & magically jumps into & packages itself into cutsie little robin egg blueTiffany boxes [while you're in Martha's Vineyard]... So that when you return from your ever so tiring diplomacy world tour, you can present them to foreign dignitaries wives at a State dinner...

Ol' Tuesday Ben woke up at 3am this morn feeling *awful*... lots of projectile vomiting since, and fever... no way I'm getting out of the house today
Pretty sure I got this flu... Needless to say, burgers don't taste as good in reverse.
You think China is white because they don't report. But they're really fudging the flu numbers too!
I gotta tel y'all, I'm not convinced there's any significant flu epidemic this year any more than the last several, for each and every time we gots a problem of communication:
Fucking Crying Wolf
Talk about a Credibility Trap
I keep hearing about it, but everyone I know doesn't have the flu.
I deal with tens of thousands of people. Not one of them has the flu. Google is main stream media and uses fear tactics relentlessly.
Plus who know's what their motives are for wanting to inject objects into our bodies. When was the last time the government did something that was actually in your best interests?
Never.
You'll have to hold me down before I'd take a flu shot.
Lot of paranoia and disinformation coming at people from many different directions....Let's just look at the facts.
H5N1: This is the scary fucking badass. Highly pathogenic, highly mutagenic Arguably much worse than ebola. Ebola is too good at its job. It has a case fatality of up to 90% but kills its host too quickly so outbreaks are contained to small regions. H5N1 has a mortality rate of more than 50%, but, is able to infect many more people because it's an airborne virus whereas ebola is only transmitted through bodily fluids. OR so we thought. New evidence that just emerged in 2012 shows there is now an aairborne form of ebola. Anyway, the main takeaway is there is no H5N1 pandemic so there is no, I repeat NO, H5N1 vaccine. There are some experimental vaccines in progress but they are still undergoing trials.
H1N1, H1N2 and H3N2 comprise the human influenza virus. This is your basic seasonal flu. When you go to CVS or Wal*Mart this is the shot you get. The seasonal flu shot does not, repeat DOES NOT, protect you against H5N1 (source CDC). The Hong Kong Flu killed 4 million people worldwide (34,000 in the United States) in 1968. Currently, 36,000 people die every year in the US from seasonal flu. No picnic but a basket of fruit compared to a full blown H5N1 outbreak which would kill over half of all people infected. So if you want to play Flu-shot roulette the odds are in your favor. But that's your call. Now you know the odds.
Tamiflu: Again there is no vaccine for H5N1, but, there is some evidence that taking Tamiflu shortly after you become infected may inhibit the spread of the virus, but to be clear, it is no guarantee that you will not become infected. There is no reliable evidence that Tamiflu will prevent an outbreak. nevertheless, the WHO has stockpiled about 3 million courses of Tamiflu to be used in the event of an H5N1 outbreak.
Postscript: An H5N1 outbreak is inevitable. Maybe not this year, maybe not next year, but it will occur. Nature doesn't let you stay lucky forever. Ron Fouchier successfully created an airborne strain in the lab and then successfully repeated the test 10 times. He said it was probably one of the most dangerous viruses you can make. And that's saying something.
Well this is just unacceptable.
***I motion to BAN ALL FLU VIRUSES FROM ALL 50 STATES***
29 children died senselessly because of our archaic and out-of-date laws.
The Doctors will proctect us!
Sounds like a good way for TPTB to reduce the future outyears cost of medicare. Knock off 50% of the population.
There is about a 5% chance of dying from the flu compared to the 1940s.
so yer basically sayin TNB?
Who the hell has the flu; I've heard nothing about it.
Get the flu shot they said. Protect yourself from the flu they said.

Doesn't boiled okra remind you of Jizz?
Could you expand upon that for us?
Are you speaking of texture, or flavor?

I believe it was Dorothy Parker who commented on this situation, way ahead of her time.
"You can lead a whore to culture, but you can't make her think."
Trust me, Obama and our betters have that in mind. The world is for those who deserve it... and their staff.

“And it seems to me perfectly in the cards that there will be within the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing … a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda, brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods.”
just raise the limits
on their credit cards ..
“Within the next generation I believe that the world’s rulers will discover that infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis are more efficient, as instruments of government, than clubs and prisons, and that the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging and kicking them into obedience."
ibid.
Mayhaps why so many with long periods in, hard worked, practiced 12 step programs are amongst those frightened the most by the future, having seen it clearly and even at times almost wish for recapturing of the blue pill continuum.
Once gone, never returned, no escape. As deadly as addictions, distractions, mental and spiritual bankruptcies.

Nah, that won't help. I been steady tweakin ever since I heard about this flu threat.

Dude, I'm at work and I can't be laughing out loud ...... bad enough I'm on Zero Hedge when it isn't my normal scheduled break time.
MDB,
That's great but there's a much easier and LESS EXPENSIVE way to stay healthy... LYPO-SPHERIC VITAMIN C (nanotechnology)

Cured this New Zealand farmer of Swine flu, but the doctors & hospital HATED him for it!

Elderberry preparations not only stimulate immune activity, but also directly inhibit the influenza virus by disarming the virus of its ability to invade healthy cells and multiply there. This is especially noteworthy because although the influenza virus mutates every year, its means of penetrating cells (and using them to make copies of itself) remains largely the same. So while flu shots need to be created each and every year, Elderberry will acts effectively throughout these mutations.

Isn't an elderberry something like a dingleberry?
It's much, much worse. But not as bad as kefir! I know, I drink both each and every day.
...and still got the flu this year!
You mean dingleberries and kefir?? Boy, you are brave.
Elderberry = vintage dingleberry.
pre masticated elderberry = dingleberry.
Pretty sure that's POST-masticated...
Everything you do is art.
That's why I do my 'art' in buckets now. Never know when I might be handed a government grant.

Dammit, the algo-socializing trick is working, the +green's are out-numbering the -red's for no good reason. Humour is NOT a good reason to +1 the MDB algo_beast.
