Scary. CDC for the third time in its history has opened its Emergency Operations Center and alerted hospitals worldwide.

yeah theres been some people up here in vancouver with it ,because there are so many chinese people up here its crazy ,anyways it wont spread as fast up here as over seas were less densley populated making it harder for those kind of things to spread.

And there has been 2 reported cases in the states

"Two people who had been in the United States are believed to have developed the illness. A doctor from Singapore was taken off a New York-to-Singapore flight in Frankfurt, Germany, on Saturday and quarantined. In addition, a woman, hospitalized in Canada with similar symptoms, had traveled to Atlanta on business shortly before becoming ill." - The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report. [MSNBC Online Text, http://msnbc.com/news/885653.asp?0cv=CB10]

The two are US citizens but both are far removed from borders. That is, unless the Altanta case spread the illness to others.

its a form of the influenza obivously and the antigens just simply mutated a little and it changed and has become a more deadly disease. It is type B influenza as well meaning it is easily spread. The coming of this virus was gonna happen sooner or later. It was predicted a few years ago or so. I think they guess that it could easily kill 25 million world wide... Best thing to do is start excerising, drinking plunty of water, eat well, sleep well.

A wise man once said, "Don't take life too seriously, you'll never make it out alive."

If you fritter away your life worrying about what can kill you, how do you expect to enjoy it?

Its not a bio weapon, unless some asian country had a leak in a lab, but its unlikely. Its a Virus by my guess.

Reccomended viewings to ease its reality:

Outbreak
The Stand
12 Monkeys
The Omega Man
The Showtime seriers 'Jeremiah'
The Puppet Masters(ok this was alien parasites but same sorta thing)

[Bighoss]

good news I just read its not influenza so it means it isn't as crazy of a spreader as we thought.

[Arshune]

OMFG I BET IT'S SCURVY! EAT YOUR ORANGES OR HEAD FOR THE HILLS, PEOPLE!

[Bighoss]

lol or just go to GNC and pick up some vitamin C pills... I like Acerola's:D

[Arshune]

If I could get an IV bag loaded with mandarin oranges I just might be able to overcome my fear of needles.

[Bighoss]

lol I know somone that got so nervous when getting a shot he punched the doctor and run out of the building.

That's pretty harsh, I can at least get innoculated...just makes my veins feel all weird for a while.
