Swine!!

Bird flu, SARS, and now swine flu.

This is getting serious...

Is our ham-fisted Government ready to cope?

It's about time a viral infection curbed the population a little. I mean no malice it's just that statistically we are well over due.

The human race is getting stronger and weaker at the same rate.

True..... Loved that Original series "Survivors"......... For some reason I always like the "demise of man" movies... warped or what.....?

But this current outbreak is serious in that the "bug" is adapting fast.... has it realised that there are more humans than pigs?

Edit.... you must have been around aged 2 when that came out... don't think they ever repeated it

Pigs and humans are very closely related in how our bodies work and react to viral, chemical and other environmental conditions. Perhaps that's why Bible followers are not allowed to eat it. (Leviticus 11 and all that)

Whilst I would hope that nobody was hurt or killed Nature has to do something soon to reset the balance.

Does anyone have any idea what the incubation period is for this little gem of nature?
Not seen or heard a mention of it.......
We could all be infected, just don't know it yet

Just keep your heads down it's coming our way.

BigRuss · 27th April 2009, 12:49

Incubation period is thought to be 7 to 10 days depending on the individual.
