"'This swine flu "epidemic" is not something the US public needs to worry about, as long as they use some common sense practices - like keeping clean, washing hands, knowing the symptoms and seeking medical help if those symptoms appear.' Strait from the corporate controlled propaganda news, LIES YOOOOOOOOO!"
So, you're saying that the flu can be countered by not taking medication, not keeping clean, not washing your hands and not bothering to know the symptoms?

This is from the very same site you posted in your original post.
"Take common-sense steps to limit the spread of germs. Make good hygiene a habit.
Wash hands frequently with soap and water.
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
Put used tissues in a wastebasket.
Cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve if you don't have a tissue.
Clean your hands after coughing or sneezing. Use soap and water or an alcohol-based hand cleaner.
Stay at home if you are sick."
THIS is word for word from the site. You're calling this lies?
You may refer to me as a dumbass, but I'd argue that I'm actually a smartass. There's a difference.
You started this thread asking "Am I crazy or does this H1N1 strain look like it could kill us all?"
Well, I didn't want to call you crazy at first, but since then, you've done nothing but prove how crazy paranoid you truly are. So, yes, I think you're crazy.
I also didn't want to attack your lack of grammar, but no one is going to take a person seriously that doesn't make an effort at good grammar. Fact of life, pal. Making a mistake here and there is understandable. Hell, I make grammatical mistakes all the time, but if you're unwilling to make an effort to spell correctly, how do you expect people to take what you say seriously?
Seriously! I was not being a smartass just then. Write down your thoughts and then go back and reread them, looking for spelling errors and/or grammatical mistakes before you post.
Everything you've written so far has been nothing but paranoid propaganda in itself. You started the thread asking if we thought the sky was falling and while we were trying to figure out if you were serious, you decided to start yelling at the top of your lungs that it is, but offering no proof, just opinion and conjecture.
And what do you expect from this thread? "Oh my god, this virus is going to kill us!" You expect us to say "Oh my god, you're right! We're fucked!" I mean, I offer you my honest opinion on things and then you call me a liar. My opinion doesn't come from the "corporate controlled propaganda news." It's common sense!
I think you're just looking for people to argue with. Well, congratulations, you've found some.
I'm not saying this strain doesn't have the potential to become a pandemic. I'm saying that of all the data I've seen so far, it's not likely to become one.
There are no certainties in life. You can walk out your door and get hit by a bus. Does that mean you're never going outside?
If the strains mutates and/or starts to become a crisis level event, I'll get worried. Right now, it hasn't, doesn't look like it will, so I won't.
The thing that gets me is that you attack the very same "corporate control propaganda news" that are making it out to be a pandemic. They're confirming (without proof) what you're fearing and yet you say they're lying. So, which is it?
