I was quite amused by this amusingly politically incorrect article which scores for casual racism, but makes a few completely incorrect points. It's still amusing though. It's quite long, so here are a few chuckle worthy snippets:

Laughter is the best medicine. Oh sure, if you're a dead Mexican you might say that Tamiflu is the best medicine...

Although it has become popularly known as "swine flu", the virus is actually caused by foreigners, specifically Mexicans (the "Afghans of North America"), so it's important, if you've recently had any contact with Mexicans or otherwise greasy overseas types, to take a nice long shower and report them to the Immigration Department.

Of course, swine flu does contain certain traces of pig viruses, as well as human and bird flus, demonstrating that foreigners do indeed like to sleep with animals, as noted in our Constitution.

Admit it: if you were asked to posit a utopia, it would be a world in which all the snot-nosed little brats and musty-smelling, hairy-eared old cranks had disappeared.

Sorry to be serious for a moment, but I'm not quite getting this. Swine flu causes people to have flu symptoms & about 2% of them die (according to an epideimiologist interviewed earlier in the week), though all deaths so far have been of people without access to high standards of medical care. Now, I can't find a good mediacl source on death rates from flu, but www.globalsecurity.org suggest that 5%-10% of Americans hospitalised with regular flu die (I believe all swine flu cases are being hospitalised?). So doesn't that actually make it better than normal flu?

I've read those same figures elsewhere, Sharon, and I don't know why the extra attention on swine flu (unless somebody has figured out how to make money from it)...It's estimated that 36,000 Americans a year die from flu...Ben

Flu has different strains (apparently) and this is h151 (i think) which is similar but different to H5n1 (I think) which is bird flu. Both of these are different to SARS - and none of them are the same as the squirts (which is terrible).

These strains have a great chance to kill you - if you're vulnerable to it (for instance if you are likely to want to break into a democratic country) etc...

BREAKING MEDICAL NEWS!!

The JDBB Clinic has developed a system to know for certain whether you have developed swine flu...Visit this website several times a day and if your condition changes, consult your physician immediately...That is all...

Apart from the manufacturers of Tamiflu and the media, you mean?

A friend sent me this picture today. It goes a long way to explaining the origins of swine flu!
