WHO Not Recommending Swine Flu Travel Restrictions

[riel]

less than 300 confirmed....158 deaths...thats more than half of the patients.....according to this you have less than a 50/50 chance of survival if you become infected. The economy will be a non-issue for the unlucky half for sure.

So I guess closing that school for a week in Ohio was a bit over the top....not in the light of these statistics.

i'm not sure about the 300 number. i read there are more like 2000 in mexico. but, of course, i don't know if that's true or not.

the really big part of this picture, though, is the fact that the ONLY deaths have occurred in mexico. so it's really not fair to say this flu kills half the people it infects--it has killed 0% of the people living in countries other than mexico. so these numbers do not truly tell the statistics of the mortality of this di

I know one thing for sure. FEAR is a great manipulator, and we have the evidence of this from the historical happenings in the past. We HAVE to do the opposite of what the manipulators are expecting us to do. We have to STAND IN FAITH because a one world government is what they're trying to create.

The Scriptures are honest and true, and they reveal to us where civilization is headed. It boils down to one fact: Who can we trust to tell us the truth? I'm putting my faith in the spirit of Daddy and His word only. I'm not going to be swayed by any man or demons. We have to STAND and not LET FEAR PARALYZE US, TAKE OUR PEACE AWAY AND MAKE US ITS CAPTIVE.

I'd advise us all to pray to Daddy and ask for His guidance.

FATHER,

We don't know if this is the end of life as we know it, but you are STILL in control. We know that you have a plan, and that plan is for our good. Yes, we want you to return and take us home, but none of us want to go through the process of getting there. We know one thing though--if you're in control we can trust you explicitly. All we have to do is read your word and see how you spared the Hebrews who occupied Goshen during Jacob's life. You terrorized the Eygptians but shielded the Hebrews from all harm.

YOU ARE GREAT and have overcome ALL evil. We could see you coming any minute. Give us expecting and rejoicing hearts as we go through our days. YOU WILL NOT FAIL US!!!!!!!!

Thank you!!

One world government? How is the flu going to influence a one world government? What am I missing?

i guess i don't understand. why is this dumb? this flu is not a huge threat that would entail spending lots of money curtailing travel and border crossings.

Should we wait for a global epidemic? This is spreading fast, and the borders are an excellent place to start. Some have even called for it already.

Let's see - how many people are on the planet? How many are sick? We should take precautions but certainly not panic. It's not spreading ...fast. In fact it's been contained in several places now. I think we should use reasonable care about whether travel is necessary or not to exposed areas - but alarm is not helpful.

this is kind of what i'm thinking.

worst case scenario: it becomes a global epidemic.

the only people who have died from this are the ones in mexico, and only one person in the US has even been hospitalized for it. so even if it does spread like wildfire (which it's not), i just can't see spending all the money on travel restrictions and whatnot for something this "benign".

common sense is more in order than anything else. don't go to places where it's known to be. don't travel if you're sick. use the normal precautions regarding contageous diseases--washing hands and stuff.

as atticus says, it's not time to worry yet.

There are less than 300 confirmed cases, and 158 deaths, out of the global population of 6.6 BILLION people. Closing borders and panicking, when the global economy is already shaky, could cause economies that are wobbly to totally crash and kill the recovery that's starting to be apparent. Common sense, rather than hysteria, is called for here.

less than 300 confirmed....158 deaths...thats more than half of the patients.....according to this you have less than a 50/50 chance of survival if you become infected. The economy will be a non-issue for the unlucky half for sure.

Closing schools is prudent; closing borders is hysteria. Of course, if the situation warrants such drastic action, then the borders should be sealed. And not just ours.

I doubt if the Mexican government, or any other, created this flu to kill people and thus create a one world government. I've no doubt that it's being worked on, don't get me wrong. But an uncontrollable virus that decimates the population isn't the way they will achieve their ends; they'll do that with the LIE. I'm more inclined to believe that God himself would create a pandemic in order to thin out the ranks of the unbelieving. If that's the case....we had better be right with Him because there is no other hope for mankind.
