Even quotes them saying "It doesn't do much more than the seasonal flu".

So why the fuck does it need to be a Pandemic?

It's the New World Orders plan to get back on its feet...Lolz.

Quite honestly though. I've been living under a rock lately, and have heard...nothing about swine flu for the past couple weeks lol.

No seriously. Now, the thing I have to say, is that while some may bitch about it. It's probably not all bad. This will beef up cash flow for the pharmaceutical companies that actually get to make the vaccine. That article suggests the US, UK, and France would be in on it. It's that many more jobs that could be created.

WHAT STAGE SIX ACTUALLY MEANS:

Phase 5 is characterized by human-to-human spread of the virus into at least two countries in one WHO region. While most countries will not be affected at this stage, the declaration of Phase 5 is a strong signal that a pandemic is imminent and that the time to finalize the organization, communication, and implementation of the planned mitigation measures is short.

Phase 6, the pandemic phase, is characterized by community level outbreaks in at least one other country in a different WHO region in addition to the criteria defined in Phase 5. Designation of this phase will indicate that a global pandemic is under way.

It isn't like the bloody Doomsday Clock, which is a bunch of superfluous bullshit.

The problem is the word 'pandemic.' The definition is hypercharged with bullshit. The Bubonic Plague was a pandemic. Swine flu is not.

Birth, or total destruction from the Swine Influenza.

You mean has the potential to kill like the regular flu? Oh, right, nothing to worry about I guess.

WHO has moved to level 6 because of geographical spread, not the severity of the virus. They said it them selves yesterday.

WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!

Their actual reasoning to mark it as a Pandemic is because they're fearful that if they don't prepare for curing it/vaccinating it by winter, it could infact turn deadly with the change of season.

Still, in the mean time.. it's fun to fuck with alarmists.

Up here it gets colder then the North Pole,

yesterday, I realized I can't fly anymore, but apparently I can swim a little. Therefore, I must have devolved into a Penguin. Curse you, father Winter!

Seriously, last May we got snow. SNOW in goddamn fucking MAY!
By July it'll be 40 degrees Celsius on the hottest days. Our weather is seriously shit. The humidity's pretty crazy too ...

3 Hours 32 Minutes.

Better than the current travel time.
Unless, of course, I air dropped from a Hercules with a big fucking Americanized looking Parachute that spelled BAD ASS on the outer canopy and FUHRER on the inside of the canopy, yelling YEEHAW all the way down, hopefully not landing into any electrical lines or a swimming pool...

Then I suppose that I'm not too far away from you no matter where I go too.
