Swine Tube

Interesting.

I was reading this article posted today on Wales Online.  Link Here

I'm wondering is it just me, or is it that other parts of the world are not reporting on swine flu topic enough?

Mercola/ Fisher Swine Flu Vaccine Q&A

Spanish Flu?

I ran into this site: www.swinefluhumor.com and they had a post with the follow list on ways you can catch swine flu:

Twenty Ways to Catch Swine Flu:

2. Sit next to pig on an airplane.
3. Lick a pig.
4. Order dead pig from Amazon.com.
5. Wear dead pig as a hat.
6. Convince boss to hire a pig. Share a cubicle.
7. Sniff a pig.
8. Shake hands with pig and don't wash.
9. Take pig on romantic date. Kiss goodnight.
10. Use curly pig tail as dental floss.
11. Order a milkshake. Share straw with pig.
12. Compliment a co-dependant pig until it follows you everywhere.

17. Give dead pig CPR.

Of course this isn't serious and actually not that funny,. but I felt compelled to post it.

This is coming from a NY Times website article about the entire story.  Visit the link to read the entire thing.  What I found most interesting was the insight of Dr. Frieden.

Anyway the story read,.
The first doses should reach doctors by Oct. 6, said the director, Dr. Thomas R. Frieden, but almost all will be the FluMist nasal spray version, which has some limits on who may use it. By mid-October, 40 million doses of both the nasal spray and injectable versions should be out. The FluMist version is not recommended for infants under 2, adults over 49, pregnant women or anyone with a range of underlying health problems. But it is easy to use, and some pediatricians prefer it because many children fear needles.

With vaccines going from 5 manufacturers to 90,000 distribution points, Dr. Frieden said he expected shortages in some places and oversupply in others. Distribution will be different from that of seasonal flu vaccine, which doctors buy on their own. All the swine flu vaccine has been ordered and paid for by the federal government, which is also paying for its distribution and providing syringes and other items with it.

In some states, the swine flu vaccine will be injected at public sites like schools and city clinics, as polio vaccine was doled out in the 1950s. The best-prepared school systems have already asked parents to sign consent forms and have discussed plans at parent-teacher association meetings, Dr. Frieden said. Doctors, pharmacies and companies may also dispense it; the government is urging them to keep fees minimal.

Dr. Frieden said that the virus had not mutated in any threatening way and that the vaccine was still a good match for it.

Everyone knows that reduced human contact will help protect you from both spreading and getting infected with the 2009 Swine Flu virus.  You might also now about ways to boost your immune system so if you do get this virus you'll have a better chance of survival.

Over and above the obvious there are drugs, vaccines, and snake oil cures that are being sold everywhere.  Clorox, the bleach company, has jumped on the swine flu fear train with a swine flu resource area off of their website. (Click here to view)

I'm not saying that bleach won't kill the flu virus, I just think it's interesting that Clorox would take this marketing position.
