#3  SWINE FLU PSA's > only tells us that SWINE FLU closely resembles regular = normal flu, but doesn't inform on the major differentiations nor on why Swine Flu is mortally more dangerous than regular flu.

IMO the BAMMER'S ADMIN's OFFICE OF SURGEON GENERAL + CDC, etc. are SERIOUSLY DROPPING THE BALL the Officials -in-charge should be either fired or seriously downgraded in status just on principle.

#2  That sounds almost as much fun as chocolate chip cookies, Anonymoose. Is this the kind of thing where one just curls up to die, or can something be done? The PDF doesn't say.

#1  Elsewhere I read that this is likely Necrotizing fasciitis, the "flesh eating bacteria", that is now all over the US, some of which is antibiotic resistant. So you catch the flu, and you could get Acute Respiratory Distress, or a whopper of a Staph infection, causing bleeding into the lungs, and maybe a Staph toxic shock syndrome.
