Swine Flu and Spanish Flu

A bunch of people are posting videos in which they offer their opinion on the Swine Flu, I decided to jump on the bandwagon too.

Deaths in the United States are now up to 2 (as of May 6, 2009), I believe both cases so far involved people with previous health complications, but I might be wrong so don't take my word on that.

I just watched Ron Paul who is a Senator and a Doctor say that there is no need for alarm from this swine flu.. He states that back in 1976 the same bunch was running ads on TV telling everyone to get the Swine Flu shot. Well guess what? Only 1 person died of the swine flu that year, and 29 died from getting the flu shot! We now have modern medicine now, and sanitary conditions that they didn't have in 1918. When Ron Paul starts to worry then I'll worry.

"Only 1 person died of the swine flu that year"

Possibly over 1,000 have died from Swine flu since its outbreak in march. Over 250 of which are in the USA. It isn't even flu season yet (the time of year in which the 1918 pandemic caused the most deaths).

I hope you agree that 1 death is very different from 1000. Based on what we know it is still very possible that mortality will greatly increase during flu season. (seeing as how it has happened in the past)

[michaelvinther]

do you think it will?

[CarpeOmne]

I personally find it unlikely that it will, but I have not studied the virus or anything like that so I wouldn't be a good person to ask about the probability of mortality increasing during flu season. All I have right now is evidence from what has happened in the past.

I will point out that even if it is a 1% chance that this virus might become as powerful as the 1918 flu it is still worth it to try anything we can to stop it now.

I got this video from a link from an Alex Jones show post. Alex Jones thinks that this Swine Flu is a bunch of overhyped B.S.

Doesn't at least 30 to 40 thousand people die every year from fllu related illness? Aren't we possibly being over alarmed due to so many 24 hour news channels carrying the story? You have to ask that question in todays environment of paranoia about everything since 9/11.

[CarpeOmne]

It is possible that people are over alarmed by this, however as I show in my video it is still a legitimate reason for concern. Flus hit during the winter flu season, so we won't know how deadly this strain is until then (similar to how the 1918 flu killed very few people during the summer, then ended up killing millions when it finally got around to flu season).

It is possible that this is exagerated, but in reality it isn't worth the risk

So did this virus disappear because of vaccination now or it disappeared by itself? What can we say from the point of time now?

@jankopat

You fail, antiobiotics treat bacteria not viruses... Your opinion is officially invalid.

[jankopat]

Unmentioned facts -

1. 1918 - late stages of WW1

2. Medical industry was not as developed as today, i.e right now we have antiobiotics, single use syringes, proper sanitizers just to name few.

3. Economic downturn was caused by war, so that proper food and nutrition was a luxury at that point of time.

4. I assume that most of those who died were probably soldiers and people in war hot spots.

I believe, that BigFarma, inc. and Media,inc. had some kind of a under-table deal about swine flu.
