But it may be too late to contain the outbreak, given how widespread
the known cases are. If the confirmed deaths are the first signs of a
pandemic, then cases are probably incubating around the world by now,
said Dr. Michael Osterholm, a pandemic flu expert at the University of
Minnesota.
The Associated Press: Fear, anger and fatalism over swine flu in Mexico
Dusk masks are selling out fast in the USA, camps and trains on standby for the mass bodies.
Alarmed residents are stockpiling
food to hole up at home or packing bags and leaving the city - an exodus
that could spread the disease
The current seasonal flu vaccine is not believed to offer any protection
against this new swine flu, but anti-viral drug Tamiflu appears to be fully
effective against the virus. However, Mexico's health secretary Jose Angel
Cordova said the country had enough Tamiflu to treat only one million people
— just one in 20 people in greater Mexico City alone — and that the medicine
will be strictly controlled and handed out only by doctors.

globeandmail.com: Unique form of swine flu surfaces
The unusual swine flu virus was first detected in California about 10
days ago. But investigations of infections in the U.S. and reports from
Mexico suggest cases have been occurring for several weeks if not more
than a month.
“This is an animal strain of the H1N1 virus and it has pandemic potential because it is infecting people,” Chan said. Clues that the virus may be a synthetic creation are already manifesting.

I have just seen all the reports on Sky News: Headline of a BA crew member on a flight back from Mexico collapsed and has been admitted to a specialist hospital . This does not seem right how this virus just turns up. Ironman could they spray this virus from planes.

CC The potent viruses aren't disseminated from a lab, they largely evolve in the wider population and between species in response to new antibiotics, not from flu jabs. This is proven with regards to bird flu in SE Cambobia/China ..with more potent bird flu.. Southern Africa with evolving strains of HIV/Aids. The pathways are well known. Same with Pigs/swine fever in Central America/USA. Nothing to do with laboratory virus creation, which is scaremongering, fiction with no evidence.
BA crew member must have been infected (incubation period) from human contact in Mexico/air conditioning spead on the plane
The only recent documented lab sourced outbreak was the accidental Berkshire Foot and Mouth outbreak.

US Centres for Disease Control, said Dr Richard Besser hasn't heard of H1N1 and so indicates its a interspecies/interpopulation evolution; not lab release. Natural/Seasonal event!

NWO explanation is rubbish!
Two American Presidents, Franklyn Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, and a British Prime Minister, David Lloyd George, and the Emperor of Ethiopia, Haile Selassie, are all known to have been infected by the Spanish Flu and to have recovered from it.
"There were some odd facts about the Spanish Flu epidemic. It came apparently out of nowhere, and even now no-one has any idea exactly where it arose, or how the strain mutated to infect humans"

Thanks for link bluebottle, from that site I got this link
Exercise to prepare for flu pandemic - Press & Journal
Exercise to prepare for flu pandemic
Tayside officials to play major role
By

OFFICIALS in Tayside will play a major role in an
emergency exercise designed to make sure Scotland is prepared for a flu
pandemic.
The month-long exercise, due to start next week, will
test government agencies on their readiness to respond to a major
outbreak. Just like 9-11 or 7-7 governments were acting out terror attacks as real one's broke out,weird or is it planned. Along with the fact that the government contacted all councils in Britain on how much spare plots were in burial sites. You can have a bet when masks start appearing in Britain, Trains/tube.

So Mad whilst you are spreading fear and hype about organised pandemic death; faster than H1N1 itself; the Scotish government is making plans to save scottish folks. Sounds sensible preparation to me. Perhaps CommonPurpose are training them up??![Big Smile [:D]](/cs/emoticons/emotion-2.gif)

I suppose you'll label lots of good Doctors and Nurses as CP infiltrators as well when they are treating folks from Mexican Flu.
Keep taking the Garlic tablets Mad!
