Could we do something with it? Would Recon, Dax, and Pericles (since they are the most affected) be willing to do anything with this? I was going to make a news post or somethin that Turkmenistan has found recent cases. It could be fun.....maybe |

Here's my impression of the swine flu. Over 30,000 Americans die each year of all of the other flus... A couple hundred have died from Swine flu...not even the numbers of the infected people world wide, are as many as those who die within the US. Sooo. That being said. I think this is something that people will eventually just get tired of hearing, and acknowledge a new disease. I can't see any other RPing, other than a more rapid spread of a more deadly strain. If THAT happens...then pretty much everyone except Africa is fried, since to my knowledge up to now...has not been infected, yet. I don't really see it spreading to Mid Asia for some reason though either. |

Yes. A somewhat mutated strain. And we defeat it. No interest at all? I'm not saying wipe out the world, just infect some people, kill some, ya know, a little bit of a freakout. |

No. No pandemics, radiation sickness, nuclear war, etc. It ruins RPS. |

I think a no on any pandemic, but I do think something should be RPd about it, is it spreading more rapidly, is it dying out, etc. I've heard various sources say Swine Flu could infect up to 1/3 of the world's population while others say it's as bad now as it's going to get. I don't think it's a pressing issue, but I'd suggest it be RPd. On the note of Swine Flu, I was reading on the BBC website that they figured out that the reason the Bird Flu didn't get as big as many originally predicted it would was because the human nose is too cold to carry the flu effectively, so it dies out more often instead of spreading. |

Pigs and Humans have similar germ receptors. So what Pigs get Humans can get. Typically. That's why we get it more often |

Philippines haven't had any Swine Flu yet, because our Department of Health is concentrating in keeping in coming into our country. Even a simple flu, will undergo check-up for 6 hours to know if there is a Swine Flu or not. Even most of the Filipinos don't eat Pigs because of the threat that the flu is being transfer from pigs with Swine Flu (not a mutated Swine Flu) to humans. I'm planning to work with other ASEAN countries to help and disable this flu. The 15th (16th I think) ASEAN Summit is near, so I'm planning to bring up the economic recession and to solve/find cure for Swine Flu Virus or something. It may take 2-4 quarters to find a cure, if we RP it. |

The swine flu deal was considered to be "near-pandemic" levels on April 29th. It's May 15th and the rating has gone up, and infection rates have been a lot lower than originally thought. It's not 'nothing,' but it's overhyped. |

I'm with Schwerpunkt, and I've already roleplayed significantly on the swine flu. All I can tell you that it will disappear on my news thread by next year, 2010. |

We discussed a global pandemic last round, and decided it would be best if we didn't mess with something like that. The idea is really cool, but you'd need everybody to get in on it and we don't think that this board is capable of something like that. |
