In today's PC world we live in, they won't even think about naming a pandemic after a nationality, ethnicity, race, color (wonder if they will change the names of yellow fever, bubonic plague at some point in the future) .. As a matter of fact, they are moving away from using Swine now and referring it by its technical name - H1N1 i- n the press conferences, media (Pigs' feelings are getting hurt I guess). Well, actually, some people are getting this idea that because the flu has swine associated with its name, it's caused by eating pork. And so you have countries like Egypt who have decided to slaughter approx 300,000 pigs. Go figure.

After that the US started calling it H1N1, presumable to cut off objections from the US farm lobby about hurting the sales of pork products. It's absolutely Mexico's fault, so it's seems fitting that it SHOULD be named for them. The US has enough issues with them allowing illegal aliens from Mexico (ALSO MISNAMED as "undocumented workers"!!!) into the US, it's 10 times worse now that these people will be sneaking in as potential disease carriers. -G

I just had the flu shot today, doc said it will take two weeks to get immunity to the 3 strains included but these were based on last year's Northern hemisphere common bugs so what ever (little?) value it has will kick in just when I am flying to the USA. Anyway no guarantees I won't end up with a bug, especially as I'm at a conference with 400 Americans, with a lot of plane travel there and back. Of course the biggest tragedy would be having some stupid temperature and I get stopped from boarding my flight to HK / MACAU for my R&R before returning to AUS (No!!!), that would be worse than being quarantined.

#45 Post at 1-5-2009 23:03  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L With HK's first confirmed case of H1N1 virus, better to stay away from mongering activities for awhile, and from public gatherings unless necessary.  Can you imagine being in the Metropark Hotel on a WG visit, and the police came and announced that all residents and staff are being quarantined in that hotel for 7 days with no exiting and new entrants.  Some might see it as a gift from heaven (because probably the govt has to pick up the tab for rooms/meals), but being with the same WG for the whole 7 days might be a bit much.

#49 Post at 2-5-2009 09:32  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Reply #48 twiceAweek's post Big consequences for Bro with wife back home in any country! Bloody hell, sealing off the whole Metropark hotel for 7 days because one person .....[cough] ..[cough] ..tests positive for swine flu.  ....[cough] .. Mind you, if WG was overnight in MY hotel room I think I would like her to stay on for the 7 days, so long as we were both healthy. The big question is what will the authorities do if more cases keep appearing in the Metropark over the 7 days .... will they keep extending the quarantine? [cough] .. Cheers, Froddo .....[cough] ..[cough] ..

#50 Post at 2-5-2009 13:17  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L A Mexican brings H1N1 to HK You know what's another interesting thought. What if this mexican guy had done some mongering at KP or 37D or gotten a nice 3-session massage at the GFS or all the above, soon after he arrived into HK. Imagine the clusterf*ck then. The authorities would not only be going after the WGs but also be chasing the punters serviced by them. Getting quarantined because you were staying in the same hotel as the carrier is one thing but trying to explain the WG connection when they ring your doorbell is a whole different debacle. And how many of our mods/lords/conquerors would be out of commission because of this 6 degrees of separation. This would definitely make for a good dark comedy. Any screenwriters out there?!?!

Also, wasn't metropark the hotel where the bird flu started a few years ago? It's the Metropark in Wanchai. Some Metropark Hotel guests who were not willing to stay in the hotel had moved to Lady MacLehose Holiday Village in Sai Kung. Staff and guests are required to stay either in the hotel or holiday villages which are used as isolation centres until the end of the quarantine order. The bird flu one was the Kowloon one.
