"Swine flu confirmed in Iowa cat" by Associated Press | November 5, 2009
DES MOINES - A 13-year-old cat has been infected with swine flu, veterinary and federal officials said yesterday in what is believed to be the first case of the H1N1 virus in a feline....
Pffft! Just used the litter box.
The virus also has been confirmed in two ferrets - one in Oregon and the other in Nebraska - but they died. “We’ve known certainly it’s possible this could happen,’’ said Centers for Disease Control spokesman Tom Skinner. “This may be the first instance where we have documentation that transmission occurred involving cats or dogs.’’
The veterinarian who treated the cat, Brett Sponseller, said two of the three people in the cat’s Iowa home had flu-like symptoms before the cat became ill. Other influenza strains have been known to cross species, but Sponseller cautioned against drawing too many conclusions from the cat, including whether other pets could get the swine flu.
“It’s well documented in influenza in general, but this is the first highly suspected case of H1N1 going from humans into a cat,’’ he said. The indoor cat was lethargic, had a loss of appetite, and appeared to have trouble breathing after it became infected, Sponseller said.

"H1N1 swine flu infects commercial swine in USA, reports USDA The pork industry desperately wants you to believe "the Big Lie" about swine flu: That it can't infect pigs, and therefore it's perfectly safe to buy and eat lots and lots of pork products. It's a merry little tale, and it would be a nice little piece of information to pass along if only it were true. But it isn't. H1N1 swine flu can and does infect pigs. And the safety margin for eating pork products from H1N1-infected pigs is not well known.

"President's address to the Ukrainian people on the occasion of flu epidemic in Ukraine But now, in this moment there is no time for waiting or remonstrance. National Security and Defense Council should become the center of decision-making. Failure to comply with its orders will immediately result in application to the law enforcement authorities.
"Martial Law Declared In Ukraine Over Mystery Epidemic Ukrainian President Victor Yushchenko has all but declared martial law in the country as he announced yesterday that the National Security and Defense Council will become the supreme ruling authority in the wake of a mystery epidemic sweeping the country. Say hello to the dictatorship virus.
"WHO 'assumes' Ukraine gripped by swine flu The World Health Organisation said Tuesday that it was valid to assume that most of the cases of influenza reportedly sweeping through Ukraine were caused by the pandemic A(H1N1) virus. Ukrainian authorities on Sunday launched an urgent appeal for help from world powers after it imposed drastic measures to tackle a sudden surge of flu-like illness in the country.
"This is incredibly dangerous. The WHO has a vested interest in "assuming" that the Ukraine outbreak is swine flu. After all, that's what WHO was warning us about all year and spending vast sums of money to prepare for. If the Ukraine California Flu is indeed something different, then WHO blew the call, predicted the wrong virus would be the threat, and prepared for the wrong illness. WHO's credibility as a global health authority is on the line here and like the former USSR, the global government may not be right, but it can never be allowed to be seen as wrong. Which means that if the California flu is indeed a different virus, but WHO treats it as Swine Flu, using the WRONG vaccine (even if it worked), then this thing could really get out of control." -- Wake the Flock Up

"Ukraine shuts schools to fight swine flu" by Associated Press | November 3, 2009
KIEV - Urging its citizens not to panic, Ukraine yesterday closed the nation’s schools for a week to avoid the spread of swine flu and suggested that some nightclubs, cinemas, and food markets also shut down.
But they are saying .... sigh, gulp/gasp, sob.
The World Health Organization said yesterday there was no evidence that Ukraine had a bad outbreak of swine flu, but at the government’s request it had sent a health team there to help the country cope.
Would you have a rapist, burglar, or murderer into your home?
Then WTF?
Why have WHO in?
Who's WHO?
Yeah, that's right.
No, I'm asking ya!
Give it about a minute.
WHO spokeswoman Liuba Negru: “.... we have to double-check it and make sure it is real, evidence-based information.’’
Okay, THAT ELIMINATES NEWSPAPERS as a SOURCE!
Take WHO and government with you, MSM, because that is who is writing your material!
Ukraine’s Health Ministry said yesterday that 70 people in the nation of 40 million have died of flu, but did not say how many of those deaths were related to swine flu. Worldwide, outbreaks of regular seasonal flu claim 50,000 lives each year.
Wait a minute!!!!
See: Number of deaths from the normal seasonal flu: 63,729 per year
And that is JUST in the USA!!!!!!
Oh, MSM LIARS!!!
Sigh, gulp/gasp, sob.
All schools were ordered closed for a week across Ukraine, even in the capital, Kiev, where there have been no confirmed cases of swine flu.

"Mercury Rising - Autism Spikes, Toxins Suspected As the national focus on the H1N1 pandemic rages, additional evidence of a more insidious epidemic has emerged, with an all-too-expected shrug from the mainstream media. Results from two federal studies announced in October say parents have a 1-in-100-or-greater chance of having a child with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Since boys are four times more likely to have an ASD, their odds are as high as 1 in 60.

"Mass. General further restricts visitors
The growing number of swine flu cases among its patients has prompted Massachusetts General Hospital to expand restrictions on visitors. Last week the hospital barred children from its obstetrics unit because they are more susceptible to the flu. Beginning Monday, those 18 and under are asked not to come to the hospital unless they are patients, Debra Burke, associate chief nurse, said yesterday. She urged people with flu symptoms and anyone who has been around someone sick with the flu to stay away, unless they are patients.
Don't worry, I will!

And WHAT do the ELITE KNOW that YOU DON'T, America?
NEW YORK - Some of New York City’s largest employers - including Wall Street firms like Goldman Sachs and big universities - have started receiving doses of the much-in-demand swine flu vaccine for their at-risk employees.
The government-funded vaccine is being distributed to states; health departments decide where to send the limited number of doses. In New York, health officials are allowing businesses with onsite medical staffs to apply for the vaccine....
Jessica Scaperotti, a spokeswoman for New York City’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, called the large employers “a great avenue for vaccinating people at risk.’’
But a critic said Wall Street firms should not have access to the vaccine before less wealthy Americans do. “Wall Street banks have already taken so much from us. They’ve taken trillions of our tax dollars. They’ve taken away people’s homes who are struggling to pay the bills,’’ union official John VanDeventer wrote on the Service Employees International Union website....
This they can keep!
Still nothing about the Ukraine, 'eh, Globe?
Smells like a COVER-UP to me!
