Bird flu or swine flu?
 
If you had a choice on which flu to have, would it be the Bird flu or swine flu?

NJ Torque 05-03-2009 08:51 PM

hmm.. chicken or bacon...

BonzoHansen 05-03-2009 08:59 PM

Swine flu because everything is better with bacon.

Doesn't the current swine flu have a strain of bird flu in it, in addition to a human strain? So you would be getting both! YAAAY!

DevilDougWS6 05-03-2009 09:16 PM

umm...whichever one wont kill me...

Swine flu...researchers and doctors are coming out and saying this strain is actually WEAKER than the influenza that comes every season. This whole situation is a pathetic attempt and distracting people from the REAL issues. It's one thing for the CDC to come out and say "hey, there's a new strain, a few people got sick, we should watch this" and it's another thing for them to update EVERY day...have the media use it as a top story EVERY day.

I did go out and buy my Outbreak suit so I can be Cuba Gooding, Jr. though. :D

haha good call, they say the media blew this one waaaaaaay out of proportion. Stats say more people die each year from the common flu than those who have died from swine flu.

BonzoHansen 05-03-2009 09:41 PM

More people die from meteor strikes

thank you, finally someone who knows, the media is making a big deal out of it because they honestly have nothing better to report on, i mean its not like there isnt a war going on that they cant cover right now. I heard that there was a case of the swine flu in the 80's too. thats all i heard, i dont know much about that.
