Is This The Long Awaited Pandemic?

[Peter Lemkin]

I've been following this story carefully. While I don't discount the posts [including my own] above that hint [or more than hint] of possible anthropogenic or sinister cause(s) of this disease, or the media and PTB using it to further terrify the Public, profit, etc. Whatever the cause and irregardless of the hype and fearmongering it is a very real danger now. It is very clearly now being transmitted easily person to person, and no one has prior immunity. A few students in New York who had just returned from Mexico City developed this flu upon return and now most of their entire school have flu-like symptoms. The same is starting to happen worldwide. The only unknown now is how virulent it will be. My prediction, being trained in Public Health, is the WHO call is correct and there is a much better than even chance this will accelerate and spread widely to worldwide in the next few weeks, as did the 'Spanish Flu' in 1918. Then there were, I believe, 40,000,000 dead recorded. If this is virulent the death toll will be far greater, if not too virulent [let us hope!] far less. Thus far most cases out of Mexico have not been lethal, but now there are some recorded deaths outside of Mexico. It is a very bad situation. :afraid: This will also deal an economic blow worldwide, on top of the bankers/financiers war on the rest of us.

This is now a very serious threat, and one way or the other yet another sign of humans living a 'life out of balance' - Koyaanisqatsi

Professor and author Robert Wallace says the swine flu is partly the outcome of neoliberal policies that forced poorer countries to open their markets to poorly regulated Western agribusiness giants.
