Panic Spreads More quickly than Swine Flu

 As the World Health Organization WHO raised its global epidemic threat level to 5, a phase in which a pandemic is imminent and the infection spread easily between humans,  governments are struggling on to limit the disease with increasing demand for face masks is in return; a protection against the disease.  

"Influenza pandemics must be taken seriously, precisely because of their capacity to spread rapidly to every country in the world."

  In a televised address, Mexican president told his people to "There is no safer place than your own home to avoid being infected with the flu virus," alongside with more many cases seen in UK and USA.

  On the other hand, many warns panic never is the appropriate solution calling for more stability in records :"The traditional media and the Internet are updating the numbers of victims and people infected by the minute, they are showing pictures of people suffering in hospital and giving situation reports from the affected regions. One has to be careful not to panic in the face of the flood of information."

 With the outbreak of a deadly disease and increasing panic worldwide, is there a chance for the world coming up together facing a real threat to human lives??

PEOPLE across the world have been urged not to panic as experts warned that most of you would be dead by the end of this sentence.

As pork flu swept across the globe governments sought to calm fears by ordering 400 million coffins, while media organisations offered a reward to any scientist prepared to use the word 'holocaust'.

In the UK, experts stressed there was no risk from pork products before urging Britain's army of morons to round-up all the sausages they could find and throw them into the sea.

Professor Henry Brubaker, of the Institute for Studies, said: "There's nothing to worry about but this is definitely worse than four simultaneous nuclear wars and a dinosaur invasion."

Governments have called on media organisations to work together in the face of what one official described as 'a nice, big, fat panic'.

Professor Brubaker added: "The world is paying the inevitable price for years of unprotected pig sex.

"It's no surprise this started in a devoutly Catholic country where everyone follows the Pope's instructions to the letter, especially the pig molesters.

"Pig sex, chicken sex, monkey sex - eventually they all come back and bite us on the ****. But not goat sex, that still seems to be fine."

Meanwhile the editor of Daily Mail was last night under observation in a central London hospital after suffering what witnesses say was a 'cataclysmic ejaculation'.

A source said: "He got more and more engorged as the details came in and then, when we got the Brubaker quotes, he went all cross-eyed, fell backwards off his chair and his trousers exploded. There was spunk everywhere."

 Yes, the numbers of positive cases and those infected are increasing every minute through media and internet sites, though; we don't yet know if the swine Flu virus is actually as dangerous as the deadly Spanish flu of 1918??

 Besides, it is said that it will take from 4 to 6 months or so to provide a vaccine deal with that kind of virus. This means what?

Actually henda my post was somewhat tounge in cheek. The whole thing is being blown out of all proportions, currently normal flu claims around 250-500,000 lives a year but nothing is said regarding this. Panic across the globe serves no purpose apart from mass hysteria.    Remember bird flu, same thing happened to a lesser degree, wild claims, mass panic and yet in reality more people are killed from nut alergies.

Playing the devils advocate, it does deflect attention from the more pressing problems the world is currently facing, rather convenient really.

I did try and phone our NHS direct line to ask about swine flu, all i got though was crackling

  A closer look to the reports and officials' announcements worldwide and we will see the world sink into contradictory views and records.

 While some represent the infection as a serious threat to all nations especially the less developed;" Influenza pandemics must be taken seriously precisely because of their capacity to spread rapidly to every country in the world," said WHO Director General Margaret Chan in Geneva, others see that the current cases are a warning and the pandemic hasn't arrived yet.

 Besides, it is more and more repeated there is no vaccine at present for the flu as what is currently available at this time is antiviral medicines which can help reduce the duration and intensity of the illness. 

Although the whole world endured a deadly pandemic 90 years ago, it is entirely unclear what could happen in the current case as no definite answer if the current infection has the same murderous capability of that of 1918.

 From the sound of all that, the well-meant suggestion for the world is to WAIT AND SEE.

 The mass of information updated every minute through media and internet could have adverse effect causing further complications and the contradiction concerning reports on swine flu is a case in point.

* What are the signs and symptoms of this virus in people?

 The symptoms of this new influenza A H1N1 virus in people are similar to the symptoms of regular human flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. A significant number of people who have been infected with this virus also have reported diarrhea and vomiting.  Also, like seasonal flu, severe illnesses and death has occurred as a result of illness associated with this virus.

* What should I do to keep from getting the flu?

 
 First and most important: wash your hands. Try to stay in good general health. Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food. Try not to touch surfaces that may be contaminated with the flu virus. Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

The panic indeed is being caused by media orchestrating and adding to the fear factor. The question is who is behind this orchestration and the answer is the beef industry in retaliation against the pork and chicken industry for creating the mad cow epidemicJ.

On another note the proper way to cover your sneeze or cough is to do it into the crux of your elbow because to use your hands as a cover will allow further contamination of anything you touch.

Well I agree with part of your argument. It is being blown out of all proportion.       Flu kills between 250,000 - 500,000 people a year, most old or very young. This small outbreak has been grasped by the media as a new story. How convenient it diverts attention from the real issues facing the world today and prior to this new news, finance Pakistan Afghanistan and of course Palestine  was on every hour 7 days of the week.

For god sake it a virus, much like any virus we see today. Avian flue is far dangerous than this in so many ways, Sares Blue Tong, BSE and all the other nasties are a product of the world we live in. Nature taking its own back, no more no less.

"Did you hear that Mexico has become a world power?"

 "When it sneezes, the whole world gets the flu."

A fresh Joke!

Slm, do you realy belive this bullsheets? Realy, I have a different oppinion for your page, what are you afraith of? Are you going to push muslims, to buy the dirthy swine vaccines? Vaccines are dangeros, they dont heel, they never did, batter read alitlebit more before to put such materials on a muslim page!Did you ever think haw much a farmaceutic company gains from the vaccines? End expetialy for the flu, you can ask yourselves:"Haw com that so common illness is becoming deadly?" And, what must be our reaction as muslims, when a muslim knows, that there is no way to escape from Gods will, even with the best vaccine(if we consider them good). Didn't you think, that just may-be someone there don't want you to think for the more important tings, like your brothers end sisters, theyr children, dying in Palestine, end in the prisons all over the world? Why don't you make some checks haw many people are ding from hunger, canser, heard atacks, end doctors mistakes, end compere it to the so called"victims" of the flu with the ugliest name? Come on brohers end sisters, belive end rely on your Lord, end Hell protect you in sha Allah! Let me tell you, that our Prophet did not use doctors, end Abu Bakr Siddeeq, told to the people, who wantet to bring him a doctor while he was sick:"I don't need a doctor for my illness is given by my Doctor."(you can check about this matter in sahih Al-Buhari). Assalamu aleikum.

Salam

The Knights Templar, reportedly, started as a group of Christian knights that were sent to protect the pilgrims that visited Christian sites in Jerusalem.
They then began digging underneath the Temple mount and, reportedly, started to find the Arc of the Covenant.
Whether this is true, Allahu 'Alam.

What is known about them is that they learned about the Jewish Cults and about Kabalah.
Knights Templar means "Knights of the temple of Solomon."

If we know anything about Sulayman(Alayhis salatu was-salam), we will remember that he was given the power to control the Jinn and use them as labour.
So the Templars were involved in invocation of Jinn.
Jinn will not interact with humanity, unless they are Shayateen.

So, the Knights Templar were involved with the Shayateen.

Jewish Kabaalah is also Satanism.
The premise of it is that the Rabbis of old would use intoxicants and interact with what they thought to be Angels.
The angels would give them secret knowledge about the Universe.

Kabalah is Satanism.

The description of the Freemasons is that they protect secret knowledge dating from the times of Firaun in Masr(Pharoh in Egypt).
The Firaun were idolatrous and invokers of Shayateen.

George Washington and all of the Presidents of the USA are and have been Freemasons.
