Good news on flu could be deceptive | The Columbus Dispatch

When the city issued its flu surveillance data late last week, the news appeared good.

[knocking on wood]

Still don't know anyone that has contracted this virus. Maybe I don't get out enough? Or maybe I'm not getting around anymore due to the news?

I can tell you one thing, however; this is killing my kissing booth business.

I don't know of anyone that has it. Makes one wonder about all the hype. Strange.

I know of 1 person who actually had the H1N1. The rest who have been sick were not tested, so it could have been anything. How are they getting acurate counts if people are not tested? I have had both vaccines, so maybe I will be a lucky one. My biggest worry was the time I would miss from work, and passing it on to my teenagers, which would be more time off work to care for them.

[Woops]

This is reciculous that George Bush wasn't better prepared for this. He's out stumping for the Olympics, playing golf and going to plays in New York while people, mostly kids are dying of this flu. President Bush could be doing much more to stop the flu. What? He's not what anymore? Who? Oh, Bush is gone? Barack Hussein Obama? MMM MMM MMM

Never mind.

The sky is falling. Support the Democrat's Health Care overhaul or we will all die.

Apparently you aren't aware the appropriations money for the flu vaccine was vetoed last June. And guess who the prez was then?

The woman who works on the other side of my cubicle says she got it and it felt like a bad cold. Still waiting for my symptoms to develop, but so far in vain.

Woops you are a idiot, if you would maybe look into it you would know that they had trouble growing the virus to be used in the vaccine.

Vinny you are an idiot.

Would that excuse have worked for Bush? Not a chance. He would have been hung from a tall tree and the media would have held the rope.

Barack Hussein Obama (MMM! MMM! MMM!) has been spending gazillions of dollars in the last year. He could have spent a little on the flu.

Oh, and by the way, Barack Hussein Obamma (MMM! MMM! MMM!) was president last June.

[vinny]

I think the President has been a little busy cleaning up the mess the conservative republicans have left this country in. I know if he could of only handled the h1n1 as well as Gov. Bush handled Katrina we wouldn't have anything to complain about would we?

Please list your source. I can find no record of President Obama issuing a veto of any bill yet during his presidency. I think you made this up.

Sure it was. lol

I know several people who've had H1N1 and one couple who lost an infant to it.

We can't afford to let down our guard.

unbelievable. The state run media once again wants to make sure we are all scared. Beware of any good news. Let's all depend upon the government and fall in line and do whatever they say.

That's exactly what I was just thinking.

Oh, and I have known a handful of people that have had it. Actually, more like 2 handfulls. One ended up in the hospital because it caused kidney infection (he is 17...and alive and well now) and the others were all middle aged, and said it felt like a cold. And they are ALL alive. I am more concerned about the seasonal flu than this crap.

You mean that the 787 billion can't be used for this ? I guess spending a few hundred more million on projects like John Mutha's airport that has two flights a day is better spent ? What about the 400K stimulus money spent on that special helocopter radar that tracks bear crap.

Glad I lost 117 lbs! Don't forget boys and girls, Get plenty of sleep, fluids, eat correctly and healthy, take your vitamins, exercise and get a little sunshine(even when its cold). And remember the flu vaccine does have a little mercury in the incredients, also the companies that produce this vaccine have been legally exempt by the federal government from any and all lawsuits related to this vaccine.

Hey Vinny,

Did Katrina call ahead to let us know she was coming? Don't remember that. We have known for quite awhile that the Swine Flu was coming.

Barack Hussein Obama... MMM! MMM! MMM! Come on, everyone sing along Barack Hussein Obamma MMM! MMM! MMM! Now just the DemocRATS Barack Hussein Obamma... MMM! MMM!MMM! Now just the Republicans.......... Hummm!
