Is anyone on here as freaked out by this swine flu as I am,  I'm stocking my pantry today  The CDC is telling if thier is a severe outbreak we cant go outside to the grocery store or anywhere.  Lets keep each other informed  if anybody is infected.  Maybe I'm just paranoid but this sounds very serious.

Where do you live?

If your freaked out over swine flu then listen to this guy, should cheer you up a bit. Yes he is a fool but he is funny.

Oh and please no sex with pigs ok.

central florida

its in san diego to four more people died today crazy

each year over 36,000 people die from the flu, this is nothing new. I dont think this is the end of the world as we know it just yet ok.

I am making an exception to the no post policy because of this Swine Flu.

Avoid crowds. Have your wife do her shopping at ‘off hours.’ Cut out movies, public swimming pools, mall crawl, busy restaurants, after work bars with the guys. Avoid crowded places, spend some quality ‘home’ time with your family.

Purchase some waterless disinfectant hand sanitizer; keep one in your ride, one in the boss’s purse.

If the kids are of the age where they will understand the danger potential, talk to them. Washing your hands as soon as you get home is a must. Real deal soap and water scrubbing. Set an example for your kids to follow. Like it or not they will key off of what you do more than what you say.

If you are out, keep the kids close. Pay attention to the what and where  their hands are doing. No chomping fries at Mc D’s before their [or your] hands are clean. If you do not HAVE to travel away from home, don’t; and air travel is the worst.

Last year’s flu shots are a joke; don’t waste your money. Wait for the new effective batch.

Don’t be the one responsible for bringing this disease home to your family.

If there is no way to avoid a crowded situation wear a mask. The ‘dust’ masks that you use at work are not designed to stop germ transfer. Your best shot is the blue “dentist” mask. The guy making fun of you for wearing it will get sick, not you.

Please take care of yourself and your family. ;~)

Shortbus please be good, lol ok.

I don't know but I hope the company that is sending out 32 on my sweet job for $450 for the 1 st 4 and a buck an hour GETS IT! ALONG WITH THE EBOLIA VIRUS, SARS AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT MAY SLOW THEM DOWN!

I cant believe we had to create the swine flu just to get Bob back. hi Bob.

great to hear from you Bob.

bigstick -think you deserve a medal. nice to see the blue again.

Thanks Bob,  I am in total agreement with you.  Me and the wife went to the grocery store today and bought $500 in groceries just in case.  Dont want to sound like a nut job,  but I am really afraid this is not going to end well.  I hope and pray I'm wrong.  Everybody stay informed and keep in contact with your loved ones.  Anybody read Steven King's  The Stand?  Captian Tripps may be on the way.

 I dont know if it's the large print or if it's the blue text or if it's just because it is coming from Bob but it sure is easier to read and gets the message across better?

 Thanks Bob, Stick around will ya? You too Seed, long time no hear?

Everybody needs a Bob sometimes...

I just heard on the news that the swine flu is not as bad as the normal flu. Its milder and that its just the flu. 36,000 people die from the flu every year. We dont need to go stock up on guns and food, not saying it bad to have guns or food, i have both but dont live your life in fear. Its the babies and old people, week and sickly that die from the flu. If i see someone walking around with a mask, i am going to start to cough around them just for fun. People we are going to be ok, dont freak out.

The japanese people you see walking around with masks aren't paranoid about getting sick, they are already and wears the mask so others won't get sick.
If you didn't already know...

It's treatable. Thats the good news.

  HE"S BACK>>>

  Hi BOB

Good to see you BOB

Last week we went to do a shop floor and walls for a guy in the country.He said he wanted to see everything before we poured.

He left to go fishing in Mexico for a few days, and we havent heard from him since...

I think he's maybe quaranteened or something, dont know, and I dont want to find out in person

The job is sitting there....

todd, don't stock up guns???

ok guns are ok to stock up, sometimes i get out of hand.

SEED

and some of that to the company down here that went to my job and gave the customer half of the price I gave.

HI Bob.

you guys be carefull

 It is not air borne and can only be contracted from an infected pig(swine) or from being very close to a person that is infected. Same flu like symptoms but can lead to severe respratory infection, this is what sets it apart from typical influenza. Wash hands frequently, the waterless hand wash is a good idea, you can buy small pocket size bottles for .99 cents. I worry most about the kids at school! especially the boys, they never wash their hands. I sat them down and explained how important it is and showed them what's been happening in the news papers

 We wont be getting any piglets for pork chops this year! With all the "mad cow" and sick swine I think we're sticking with the wild game in the meat dept? And no you cant catch it from eating a pork chop.

One thing that comes with age is accumulated knowledge. It doesn't mean old people are smart it just means old people have more experience.

I experienced this; check out the fatalities. The main difference being that today people travel more and have the capacity to transmit germs more widely and rapidly. But hey, what the hell, it ONLY Kills babies and older sic people, right?

Bob, "One thing that comes with age is accumulated knowledge. It doesn't mean old people are smart it just means old people have more experience." I agree, I just can not remember?

Well Bob its good to see that someone in this world dont think I'm crazy.  Everytime I see something like this come up I do as much research as possible.  I may be way off on this one but I think this is end of the world, old testament stuff that the end is near,  if I'm wrong then everyone can have a good laugh,  but if I'm right at least I tried to warn people.  If the shit hits the fan come to my house I have plenty of food and ammo.  Damn I sound like one of those militia people I used to make fun of twenty years ago!!!!

you might be right bigstick better to be safe than sorry and you got bob to post twice so all i have to say is good job.

 What map page are you on bigstick? I'm on my way...

Level Five today, maybe I'm not so crazy after all.  Too tall come on down to Orlando the weather is always nice.  Will have to teach you not to get seasick because we fish way out in the ocean.  So far no reported outbreaks in Fl.  Everyone dont think I'm crazy I just want everyone of my people to be safe and stay healthy.  This is very serious business.

when your number is called its called,no matter if its the flu,cancer,heart attack,car accident or others when god starts calling angels home just pray that you are one of them. if what I have read is true the common flu is just as deadly if not treated just be proactive and dont putoff going to see doc and we should be fine , the scare tactics used by the media is a hoax watch your elderly loved ones and young ones and let the doctors do what they do cure people for outrageous rates so have your wallet handy
