Even the virus hasn't mutated yet it's multiplying. Guess in a week we will see
"passed the million mark"
Fatality rate is around 0.5% so far.
Pray that it may not mutate

Remember a while back they were saying wearing face masks were ineffective in protecting against swine flu?

Well, watching coverage of the outbreak in Australia, I see that all the healthcare workrers and airport personnel were wearing them.....

I predict a new fashion statement is on the way for Pattaya!

......heading to the Pharmacy to stock up!  :D

People wear face masks to protect others and not themselves, as a general rule.

Do you really think that is the case?  :)

Indeed I do, unless of course they are of a type that is designed to protect the wearer and filter in bound air, most masks bought over the counter and used by medical staff are not of that type. surgical masks are designed to trap exhaled particles rather than filter inbound air. Google the subject and check it out.

Thais don't need farangs or swine flu to destroy the tourism industry, they do a pretty good job already closing airports and having stupid protests during Songkran

Right on the money!!! :)

well thats my trip to Patts cancelled! But maybe as I am bound to get it ( I always have in the passed) I suffer very badly.I have had the flu jab for the last 15 years and have not had it since..No flu jab for this one yet..My point is better i go get the flu there in Pattaya where they have Tami-flu to take..her in Chiang rai they do not have it! I've checked and for sure it will come up here sooner or later.......So maybe best to have a few flu parties so as to get it while you can get the medicine!!

Just was about to write the same.
Thanks for the clarification.

I was thinking more like Resident evil and the Umbrella corporation... sorry,  I'm a gamer :D ... anyway, let's hope this doesn't mutate, I enjoy killing zombies in my Xbox and PS, but I wouldn't enjoy seeing a lot of people dying because of this.

In any case, I've seen people saying they might cancel trips and stuff like that, I have myself a trip to Latin America for business, and I'm planning to cancel that, if you're due to catch something freaky, it will happen here in Thailand, in Australia or even in Michael Jackson's special air bubble... don't live with fear, but don't be fearless either :D

dam_n I need to correct myself, I meant to say I'm NOT planning to cancel my trip, and I also replied in the wrong message, I was meaning to reply to the guy that made a mention to a movie about a virus... :D

At least three US federal laws should concern all Americans and suggest what may be coming - mandatory vaccinations for hyped, non-existant threats, like H1N1 (Swine Flu). Vaccines and drugs like Tamiflu endanger human health but are hugely profitable to drug company manufacturers. The Project BioShield Act of 2004 (S. 15) became law on July 21, 2004 "to provide protections and countermeasures of Health contracting flexibility, infrastructure improvements, and expediting the scientific peer review process, and streamlining the Food and Drug Administration approval process of countermeasures." In other words, the FDA may now recklessly approve inadequately tested, potentially dangerous vaccines and other drugs if ever the Secretaries of Health and Human Services (HHS) declare a national emergency, whether or not one exists and regardless of whether treatments available are safe and effective.agents.

The World Health Organization's (WHO) latest A/H1N1 update as of June 10, 2009 at 06:00 GMT shows 74 countries worlwide have officially reported 27,737 cases of influenza A(H1N1) infection, including 141 deaths

http://www.ubalert.com

Oh no a whole 141 deaths?  Not to be crass but it has been more dangerous to fly Air France than the dreaded Swine Flu..

That's not even mentioning Songkran.  Be hysterical go stock up on Tamiflu and lock yourself up in your house.  Live scared 24 hours a day..

Meanwhile I'll be enjoying myself and laughing my ass off at all of the idiotic hype surrounding this "pandemic"

They sneeze, they cough and on the third day transfer into a pig and get shifted to the slaughterhouse.

Or may be I have got that mixed up with a Harry Potter tale and those diagnosed just get quarantined.  :)

The two from Taiwan, who were infected in Pattaya. We were supposed to have been told, where they visited. No info given out. The Disco -No name. the school -no name. If people are not given information why bother reporting it. Is it some sort of public health censorship?
Lack of information just breeds speculation and rumour which does far more damage in the long term.

Ok my point being that as a child I suffered badly virtually every year from the flu..As an adult I was advised to have the flu jab every year.I'am a Brit. Since taking having the flu jab every year for the last 15 or so I have not had the flu again. I of course have no resistence to this new strain, so maybe as I live in Chiang rai where they have no Tami-flu medication it may be better that I go to Pattaya get the flu and have done with it! At least there they have the Tami-flu there at the moment...So as my mother used to do when we were kids if any one had the mumps or chicken pox we were sent to play with them so we would get the illness while we were young and therefore be safer when we were adults(reference my flu party joke!)..Now this flu is more dangerous than what we have encountered in the past because if we have a strong emune system we effectively can kill ourslves by flooding our own lungs....So please I miss your point...
