    No, I don't even think it was that. That's how much of a non-event it was, nobody else seems to remember it.

    Uh the "swine flu" is actually an extremely rare and naturally impossibly unlikely combination of human flu, bird flu and pig flu that sprang up in multiple regions at the same time.

    Basically, Man Bird Pig flu. If it does start killing alot of people, then I'm going to laugh.

    Oh, so it mutated into existence in multiple places around the world at almost the exact same time.

    Amazing!

    GUYS GUYS GUYS DON'T DO ANYTHING THAT WOULD STRENGTHEN YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM UNTIL THIS BLOWS OVER LET ME EXPLAIN:

    Ok so, Swine Flu attacks the immune system and causes it to overreact and spaz out and attack your own body. If your immune system isn't very strong, it won't have much success in attacking you. PEOPLE IN HYGIENE OBSESSED NATIONS SHOULD BE OK.

    As for Mexico, many Mexicans regularly consume foods that are unsafely made (street cheese made in dirty bathtubs, as well as the water supply in many areas) and don't get sick. That same stuff would make most of us puke. Their immune systems are very hardy. Hence the high number of deaths in Mexico, particularly Mexico City, where conditions are worse than other areas (and by extension, its citizens would have better immune systems). Swine Flu causes their supercharged immune systems to attack them, putting them in a very bad situation.

    DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?

    From: Deputy Vice Chancellor <enrol@canterbury.ac.nz> Sent: Mon 27/04/09 7:49 PM

    To: ALL-STUDENTS@it.canterbury.ac.nz Priority: Normal

    Subject: Swine Flu Type: Text


    It has come to our attention that two University of Canterbury staff and
    two of our students travelled from the United States at the weekend on a
    plane carrying secondary school students infected with Influenza A.

    Students will be aware that Swine Flu (H1N1) is a new strain of
    Influenza A.

    The two staff members and two students have been asked to remain in
    isolation for three days having commenced a precautionary course of
    Tamiflu. They will be guided by doctors as to when they can return to
    the University.

    During this period of uncertainty about Swine Flu, it is important to
    keep abreast of current and correct information, especially regarding
    impending travel. Appropriate local information can be found at
    http://www.fluinfo.org.nz/

    Another useful link is http://urgent.internationalsos.com/default.aspx.

    Students should consult a medical professional if they have any health
    concerns, particularly if they have visited North America or Mexico in
    the past fortnight.

    Students who are intending to travel to these areas in the near future
    are advised to monitor developments.

    If anyone mentions Mark Knopfler I will kill them. My dad plays his couple singing shit with that country bitch nonstop. The one thing all duet singers have in common: They all think they sound good. They don't. Ever. Duets suck. End of story.
