Obama Admin. Releases Stockpile of Antiflu Virus Drug
Tamiflu Has Shown to Be Effective Against Swine Flu

The Obama administration was "all hands on deck" today in response to the quickly escalating swine flu outbreak, with the declaration of a public health emergency and the release of the national antiflu drug stockpile. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano declared a national public health emergency, with swine flu now confirmed in at least 20 cases in five states. However, she said, the outbreak has not yet threatened to reach the lethal level it has in Mexico.

Hey guys remember this article?

NEW YORK (Fortune) - The prospect of a bird flu outbreak may be panicking people around the globe, but it's proving to be very good news for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and other politically connected investors in Gilead Sciences, the California biotech company that owns the rights to Tamiflu, the influenza remedy that's now the most-sought after drug in the world.

kahljorn Apr 27th, 2009 03:15 PM

yea they've been expecting another pandemic for a while, they just suspected it would come from the birds.

Tadao Apr 27th, 2009 03:50 PM

On some streets in Mexico city, the curbs are high so that raw sewage doesn't get on the sidewalk.

When I returned to my island home after a month hiatus recently, the quarantine officer asked me if I had any fish, I said no and he let me in.

I doubt we will get this new super virus where I live.

Tadao Apr 27th, 2009 09:33 PM

Was that code for vials of super flu?

Evil Robot Apr 27th, 2009 10:12 PM

I'm fairly certain the quarantine officer was just hungry.

Zhukov Apr 28th, 2009 11:18 AM

Actually I answered "Ï have sauce" and he said "is it fish sauce?" and then I said no.

Yeah, I guess he might have been hurting for fish sauce.

Shit, yeah!

birdshine Apr 29th, 2009 01:55 AM

Yeah this story hasn't been off the radio or anyone's tongues lately. There haven't been any fatal cases in the United States, I heard its easily treatable, and there till hasn't been a single break out where I live.

Esuohlim Apr 29th, 2009 09:47 AM

That's because more people probably die from regular flu every day and the media is blowing this all hell of out of proportion

:esuohlimpostinginpoliticsforum

Tadao Apr 29th, 2009 01:16 PM

Hopefully the price of pork will plummet. I love pork.

Esuohlim Apr 29th, 2009 01:24 PM

Oh no 91 reported cases in the US! Shit that's like 0.0000003% of the population. Start getting scared, guys :(

Tadao Apr 29th, 2009 01:30 PM

"officials reported the first death in the United States from the virus was a 23-month-old Mexican child who died in Houston."

birdshine Apr 29th, 2009 01:56 PM

God, I'd hate to have the flu. It sucks but I think I'd get over it.

Tadao Apr 29th, 2009 06:52 PM


Dr. Boogie Apr 29th, 2009 07:32 PM

That chart doesn't take into account the big drug war going on in Mexico.

Tadao Apr 29th, 2009 07:56 PM

Oh yeah the left should have a check mark in Horrible death as well.

Zhukov Apr 30th, 2009 05:36 AM

Could go some fucking Tamiflu right now. Fucking Tamiflu. Just give me some fucking Tamiflu.

Dr. Boogie Apr 30th, 2009 06:11 AM

The good news: Tamiflu cures swine flu and bird flu.

The bad news: It gives you dog flu. :(

Dimnos Apr 30th, 2009 10:55 AM

So the city of Fort Worth in Texas has closed all schools in fear of the swine flu. :lol

Geggy May 2nd, 2009 03:50 PM

Guys, you better get your shots now because commercials from 1976 says so


kahljorn May 3rd, 2009 03:24 PM

I hope geggy dies from the swine flu and his last words are, "I SHOULDA GOT THAT SWINE FLU SHOT"

Dr. Boogie May 3rd, 2009 05:34 PM

You think that's going to win out over "fucking JEWS!"
