Help!! Im Stuck in a 3rd world country with flu

~edlo:iconedlo: reports, April 29
Help!! Im Stuck in a 3rd world country that doesn't even know how to handle a flu.
Yeahp well by now all of you heard about the swine flu and everyone is kind of getting all paranoid about it around the world, and my fellow countryman specially the government are running around like chicken with their heads cut off.
Here are some facts:
Around 1500 people have been reported sick of some kind of flu.
There has been 147 deaths which only 7 have been confirmed to be because of the swine thing.
Of those 1500 People 1300 are back home sleeping it off alive and well.
Only 10% of the country have cases of the flu the rest its completely clean; and its a big country, some states are bigger than most European countries.
All in all the problem its 1500 people in Mexico City which holds more than 20,000,000 people so you do the math.
All of the deaths are because of poor or none medical treatment.
Its a mutation of an already existing kind on influenza virus, which its NOT fatal.

So here is my humble call to all not to be paranoid, not to take hasty measures; my country its already a poor one, beaten even more by economic crisis and drug cartels, we dont need our businesses closed, we cant handle our businesses closed; we dont need our tourism industry going down the drain, we cant handle that, we need to put food on the table for our family.
The thing its a flu, it does not kill you! you feel the symptoms and go to the doctor to get your pills and go home. Dengue fever its far more deadly and we have lived with it for decades, getting treatment its the key; if you dont get treatment for the common flu, you can also die its nothing new.
So well I tried to get some common sense going; or we can all roll over and watch our world turn to anarchy in a couple of months.

one thing we have to remember is that even 100 years we have something like this. in the dark ages they knew nothing on how to handle it, but in this day and age we know HOW, we know WHAT to do.

if we follow the adive that is been given, to the letter, we will get threw it all. most people are just saying its just like any other flu all you need is rest and the right medication.
if you live it a 3world country your body is has different coping strands to a flu, say in the US they have different types of a cold then china or some place else. (not saying that US or china is a 3 world country).
if you just keep active, drink water, eat healthy and wash your hands you can beat it.

6am the time when the sunrises and the sky turns the most wonderful red, pink and yellow and then the birds, the wonderful birds who sing there song so beautiful, then a door opens and a gunshot goes out and the birds thump and we can go back to sleep.
:iconkupo707:
Dude how can you be joking at a time like this.
:iconthe-danzor:
Its true that swine flue could turn into a world pademic, Buts its the same possibilty of the world getting hit by planet-X tomorrow, The sun imploding into a black hole or our galaxy starts to feed again.

Living is fear is just no way to live, we will all die and it will be from one thing or another. i do fell sorry for those who die from swine and other dieases like it. But fearing over what could happen is just wasting your life away.

Just apply common sense and you will be fine, Read the BBC website and read there health tips, apart from doing what they say, which is just watch out for sick people, cough and sneezes etc, wash regulary and stuff like that. Which you should do anyway, your fine.

Even if you get swine, just go see a doctor right away if you think you have it and its very treatable at early stages. As said above. people die from the normal flue every day.

I for one wont live in fear or think to much into this... its just not worth it when i can be out injoying what little of a life i will have. (human life span is small)
