Health Canada will no longer be reporting individual lab-confirmed cases of H1N1. They will now be updated weekly as part of the FluWatch website - which is what they should have done since the beginning of this media frenzy.

That was a pretty good joke years ago and it still is.

Haha, I laughed.

[Lauren]

i always think of that when she is mentioned somewhere.

Two people were fired last week from work for bringing in Swine Flu (they were tested for it, had it, and still came to work.) If you are sick stay the fuck home people.

[Morglor9]

Can you seriously, legally, be fired for that?

[ToadMan]

In America, the land of at will employment, yes, yes you can.

[hum-an-ole]

Any moron who goes to work with something contagious like this deserves to lose their job IMO, it's pretty irresponsible and puts the employer in a bad position since other workers could fall ill.

[Audio of Being]

Yep they were fired, for the reason that they placed over 600 people in peril at the time.

I got a kick out of the very existence of this page:

Fuck Swine Flu. How come every person who dies from it seems to be either 1) elderly or 2) has existing health problems. Hmm sounds like the same kind of people who die from the regular flu.

 

fuck this shit. At least SARS could kick some ass.

i read yesterday that for every 1000 people with the flu, 40 are hospitalized and 1 dies. it's no stronger than the regular flu, except its not as stable, so they are scared of it mutating.
