Taking Bets on first state w/ confirmed US swine death!

Post by Apollonaris Zeus » Wed Apr 29, 2009 12:40 pm

Bottle of Fine Wine- $25-$45

I say CA, but NY could take it but it could be trumped by some midwest state?

Place your bets!

The poor little boy in texas doesn't count since he was from Mexico and was brought to the states to be cured.

You lose. That two year old kid in Texas loses bigger--his whole life.

I say let it die an ignoble death, unless someone bumps the damn thing for their own self-aggrandizment. Your community at work, don't like it, don't post and let it sink.

(I wonder myself why I feel compelled to post)

I don't think AZ is "wanting" people to get sick from the Swine flu and die, I think he was {as usual) trying to be creative and "over the top" with his subject. I doubt that Jimmy The Greek is laying odds.

The subject as posted is offensive, no doubt, but the subect might be one for discussion. How bad might this flu get, what area's of the country will be hit the hardest?

As burners we are a kinda wierd group, I don't know how far we can go before something is just completely WRONG!

Here is the readers digest condensed version

children are skiping rope to the rhyme


I had a little bird,
Its name was Enza.
I opened the window,
And in-flu-enza.

and my reply to that..

I had a little pig
it had a little bacon
i ate all the bacon
I don't have a pig

Well it seems out Virus H1N1 is more unstable then first thought turning into a non-lethal common flu virus probably because it is recombinding virus DNA from the DNA of viruses found in the antibodies found in the host.

So there is as yet no related deaths in the USA.

I guess I can keep my fine bottle of wine from Bella Luna Winery.

Texas! Texas should not be overlook though!
Sadly the first American to die has occured!

And Texas it is!

I wonder if there is a connection with the poor mexican boy that died. It was reported that the child did make a visit to a mall.

On a more dire note is that Texas may have the more virulent form of H1N1.

I will be avoiding Texas, but texas has some bad juju going on anyway. I would recommend that people should do the same.
