flu bug

Or Offensive Offending Naming Offenses?!? OOFO!  Gewurz Grain (a dealer in grain?) Radish Rindskopf (a dealer in Radish?) Getreide Spice (a dealer in spices?) Horse Pisoheles (someone who sells horse piss/urine?) Schmetterling Ladstockschwinger (someone who inflicts a swinging blow with a rod)?

In the 18th to to early 19th century when registration of names and family names became mandatory for European Jews, petty governmental officials assigned uncomplimentary and ludicrous names to those who occupied a "comparatively low status in sane communities". The rich bought the most attractive names derived from flowers, precious stones and gems (Rosenberg, Goldberg, etc.) The penniless were given unflattering names designed to disparage and to inflict more needless ridicule and suffering.

Names of viruses...Influenza A H1N1. I am sticking to SWINE FLU - no offence to the pigs but just easier to pronounce and it's easy to relate why the virus was named so in the first place. When pig farmers get upset over the name, suddenly the words "SWINE FLU" has become a brand.

May be I should add my own term for it - the "Mutated Swine Flu" (similiar but not 100% same as 1976's Swine Flu). Or patent it as MWF!! lol

In order to appease interest groups offended by "pork associations" for the virus, Team Obama started referring to the Swine Flu as 'H1V1'.  Erm....too late?

Here's your midterm Swine Flu Report - may far be the least "serious of all Health reports" now that we know many more recover from the much over-rated Swine Flu! I call it 'mid-term' as the world is sorta in the middle of Swine Flu now (or nearing the end of it)! lol

My previous 'prediction' that it won't be a pandemic (my doubts about WHO's and CDC's statistics) was close to what other blog critics were saying.  Applause for the people who recovered from Swine Flu and now has the immunity against it!

"Though it is reasonable to call a pandemic for an extensive spread of a new strain of killer flu to many parts of the world at once, what is sorely lacking in this alert system is any counting of actual cases or number of deaths before raising the alert level." - Dr. Marc Siegel M.D., author of “False Alarm; the Truth About the Epidemic of Fear and Bird Flu: Everything You Need to Know About the Next Pandemic”

Current Swine Flu News

1. In Singapore, it is now mandatory

By the way, this is a pretty loooooong blog entry so be sure to bookmark it and return later. Or just PRINT this to read offline!

"As of 6pm April 24 2009, 8 human cases of swine influenza A (H1N1) virus infection have been identified in San Diego County, Imperial County, California as well as in San Antonio, Texas. This strain of influenza virus is unique because it is a combination of swine, bird, and human influenza viruses."

The original swine flu derives from pigs, who crammed into, small confined areas smell one anothers' FART!  Outbreaks of swine flu happen regularly in pigs. (Is it any wonder these animals develop and suffer respiratory problems and eventually death?)  With genes from birds, pigs and humans, mix up those flu's genes like a evil witch's brew, and you have one hellava flu bug!

One of the symptoms of this new never-before virus infection is respiratory problems - the same symptoms as that of the original swine flu. Never-before because the original swine flu bug has been mutated. Only now it's "harder" to cure and the current Swine Flu is not a naturally-occuring virus; this virus....or flu bug was born in a petri-dish.
