Swine Flu Contest

[trackrunner]

This is the Swine Flu Contest. Playing for pride.

Contest 1

Predict how many deaths from swine flu?

Power Ball Contest 2

So I took off work this morning after becoming ill. Do I have swine flu? If yes how long do I have to live until I die from swine flu?

[rockgremlin]

Possibly 100 total deaths. Only about 15 deaths are confirmed swine flu deaths -- another 150 are suspected (unconfirmed).

I recall reading that an average flu season takes care of about 70,000 people a year. That seems high to me, but if you're very young, very old or have a compromised immune system and you get the flu - your ticket is about to get punched. Swine, avian or just your regular run of the mill influenza.

YMMV

I personally chalk the pig flu up to a government invention.

Did you hear that it was believed that the day an African American was voted in as President of the United States of America - pigs would fly? 100 days ago Barrack Hussein Obama was voted in and today - swine flu (flew).

Bwwhwhahahahaaaa. :roflol:

Nope, you're right. It wasn't that funny. :ne_nau:

Might wanna fix that thread title.

[Sombeech]

I predict 10 deaths nationwide within the next month to Swine Flu.

I predict 300+ deaths nationwide within the next month to the REGULAR Flu.

This did not copy and paste very well but you get the idea.
