At the tech support office where I work we had a posted contingency plan in case of an epidemic, and people are starting to get sick, including myself. People are freaking out way more than they should be, considering we just had a major weather change and wet weather.

Yeah my local health department have been swamped with phone calls from people and doctors offices that dont listen to the media, don't listen to the hotline or go to the website that says the exact same information that the live person would tell you if we had time to talk to you. LOL.
Its more seroius than what people want to think it is.As of monday,a law was passed.We could go into martail law at any time.We could also be forced to stay in our homes.Its all over the world right now.Last i heard,195 dead in mexico,1 in the usa,1 in overseas.A school in Chicago has been closed because of it. They are also say in could be govt. made and got released by accident.If it keeps spreading like it is,we could see a death count in the millions.All of this came out of a doctors mouth.The media doesn't want you to think its this bad.We are on the verge of a worldwide pandemic. Just be ready for the worst. |

Just be ready for the worst. Like SARS, like Avian flu, like plain old influenza, the biggest risk is to young children, the elderly and others with a compromised immune system. There's very little risk to the able bodies and healthy. back to the topic-- when's BBTS gonna put up some preorders?! |

And because one doctor says it, it must be true. Wow. That's why Doctors practice medicine. Actually Public Health Laws that are already in place can declare martial law and quarantines when there is a need. That does not mean it will happen. Yes we are on the verge of a pandemic but if people follow instructions, take care of themselves and be vigilant everything will get better.

oh, they've put up a ton of pre-orders...just nothing modern/25th related in a while, a long while. Star Wars, My Little Pony, Marvel, X-Men, etc have all been added over and over.

Not to be starting a flame war, but where exactly are they saying that this is a government made flu that was released by accident? And how does the relatively few deaths reported so far justify a prediction of millions dead?

I'm not try to start no shit with you or anthing.All i'm saying is this is a serious threat and people are treating it like a joke. |

I don't see anyone here laughing about it but I also do not see any reason to treat it like an end of the world, doomsday situation. Viruses mutate and infect humans all the time. I tend to think of them as mother Earth's personal birth control pill. When the planet gets too many people (which we already have thanks to places like China), the Earth will just start aborting us until the population is back to a sustainable level or we're wiped out and another species takes over as ruler of the world.
