That is a THIRD of the PLANET, folks!!!!
Had enough fear yet?
"Up to 2 billion people might get swine flu; WHO assesses risk of 2-year pandemic" by Alexander G. Higgins and Eliane Engeler, Associated Press | May 8, 2009
GENEVA - Up to 2 billion people could be infected by swine flu if the current outbreak turns into a pandemic lasting two years, the World Health Organization said yesterday.
WHO flu chief Keiji Fukuda said many would not show any symptoms....
But you got it anyway! Now here, take this needle!!
Fukuda said, "It would be a reasonable estimate to say perhaps a third of the world's population would get infected with this virus."
With the current total population of more than 6 billion, that would mean an infection total of 2 billion, he said, but added that the world has changed since pandemics of earlier generations, and experts are unable to predict if the impact will be greater or smaller.
"We don't really know." said Fukuda. "This is a benchmark from the past. Please do not interpret this as a prediction for the future."
Chris Smith, at flu virologist at Cambridge University in England, said the 2 billion estimate was possible. "That doesn't sound too outlandish to me for the simple reason that this is a very infectious virus," Smith said. "You're talking about a virus that no one in the population has seen before and therefore everyone is immunologically vulnerable. Therefore it's highly likely that once it starts to spread, people will catch it. And since the majority of the world's population are in contact with one another, you're going to get quite a lot of spread."
Please see: Who Let Loose the Swine Flu?
I've really had it with the globalist scientists and their agenda-pushing lies.
Need that funding, huh?
John Oxford, professor of virology at St. Bart's and Royal London Hospital, agreed. "I don't think the 2 billion figure should scare people because it's not as though 2 billion people are going to die. The prediction from WHO is that 2 billion people might catch it. Half of those people won't show any symptoms. Or if they show any symptoms, they will be so mild they will hardly know they've had it."
Then WHY THROW that number out there, a**hole?
They TRIP the ALARM and then tell you not to panic!
Fuck you and your yo-yo fear, shit-bags!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People react differently to the flu depending on their general state of health and other factors, Fukada said. Some younger people in the Southern Hemisphere may be more vulnerable because of poor diet, war, HIV infections and other factors....
Oh, now the globalist sophistries and rationalizations come out!!!
Yeah, it MIGHT NOT BE SWINE FLU at all!!!!!!
