Swine Flu: A pandemic?

It'll never get Madagascar though, so we're safe.

Haha i hate Madagascar. after three hours of play and probably twenty tries you might get it infected.

but i think that the swine flu is being over exaggerated by the media, like they always do. Remember a year ago when they were predicting millions upon millions being killed by the avian flu? i looked up the swine flu on the CDC and its symptoms are almost identical as the seasonal influenza.  the only problem is that since its a newer form of the swine flu it lasts a little longer in humans since our resistance isn't built up to the new strain. at least thats what i understand from it.

The flu is not present in the meat of the pig. If you ate uncooked pig lungs or stomachs then you might get it. Having a virus doesn't make you the virus (unless...).

[sabrebattletank]

Because viruses are forms of life. It can be argued that we are viruses by our actions instead of classifying us by our makeup.

Because they don't have a metabolism and we do, it can be argued that viruses are not alive.

[Red Devil]

Maybe they say that because we do have one that we aren't alive.

RD... you are saiko.

Whats the difference between a pandemic and an epidemic?

[cheesepuffly]

pandemic, more severe than an epidemic

[TheJamsh]

There was a certified case of swine flu in paignton UK, a place only a couple of hours from my home town.

Epidemic would be over more than one country/continent i think, so now it is am i right?

[AHadley]

I think an epidemic is when it strikes seriously but is limited to one of two countries.

Pandemic would be when it hits... five, i think.
