Animatic you forgot to include the odds of falling off a mountain.
Or is that included in the falling down odds?

Had that for a bit so far, it IS very funny.

They missed bathroom accidents and such also.

I figure I have a better chance dieing on Koh Samui on the motorcycle
than most ALL those listed causes....

Chances of death on motorbike on Samui ... hmm well pretty high . Chances of death from swine flu or better Mexican flu ( swine flu gave people the strange idea you get it from eating pig ) probably close to 0 . All deaths on this moment are people with severe health problems allready .
So , what's the symptoms ... same like normal flu , it's flu ... and for the moment not a strong 1 either . It can be potentially dangerous , but that chance of evolving in something very dangerous is close to 0 also . If however you get in contact with it now .. your body makes antibodies ... nice , very nice . worst case scenario :
1 this flu becomes a very deathly , before vaccine is made .
2A you haven't been in contact with this type of virus so you get sick very fast and your body still needs to make antibodies . Chances of being killed are very much possible .
2B : the option i prefer above 2A , i've been in contact with it and been mildly sick because the virus was weak , and i still am a young and healthy guy . i come in contact with the deathly variant and because having a previous infection with the mild virus my body still got antibodies and recognises it and kills the virus before i get very sick .
Why don't they infect everybody right now ... well same like with every other disease , you do not want to kill people b4 having a vaccin . That is exactly whata vaccin is . A very weak form of the same viral strain , so your body has no problem of killing it and recognising it when the strong form comes along .

Did you stop to think before you made that post?
when a virus mutates it takes on a different form to it's earlier form,  Therefore your bodies immune system will not recognise it as you incorrectly stated.  If what you stated was true then flu would be extinct

The worry about this particular "novel" flu virus (H1N1) at pandemic levels in LOS is the fact that nearly 1.5% of the country's population is immuno-compromised due to HIV infection.

The availability of cheap over-the-counter antibiotics has also encouraged drug resistant strains of bacterial infections to proliferate (MRSA) due to improper dosage and incomplete administration terms of the medications.

The combined effect is a public health environment rife for serious illness associated with an influenza outbreak.
These issues add fuel to a potentially devastating communicable disease which otherwise might be nothing more than a nuisance.

Bloody Farangs coming here with your desease and destroying our tourists inductry.

We're destroying the tourist industry which we created!

Everybody knows that the swine flu started in Mexico and crossed the border into the US.  The first two cases of swine flu in Thailand were two thai's returning to thailand from the US.  I have not seen any reports of deaths in Thailand.  Have there been any in Asia?

A Pandemic indicates if " something" is spreading over the world.

The level if that happens is indicated by a number.

Level 6 tells us that it has spread the world over.

It is NOT an indication of " something" ( swine flu in this case) being deadly or not.

That is where a lot of people go wrong.

That is true,  At this moment in time swine flu is only deadly or should i say can be deadly.  Where somewhat poor health or health care is evident.  Swine flu may or may not become more deadly ( there are no hard and fast rules as to what it will mutate into) when it mutates which it most certainly will at sometime.  Be it 6 months or a few years into the future.
