«Adrian Gibbs, 75, who collaborated on research that led to the development of Roche Holding AG’s Tamiflu drug, said in an interview that he intends to publish a report suggesting the new strain may have accidentally evolved in eggs scientists use to grow viruses and drugmakers use to make vaccines. Gibbs said he came to his conclusion as part of an effort to trace the virus’s origins by analyzing its genetic blueprint. “One of the simplest explanations is that it’s a laboratory escape,” Gibbs said in an interview with Bloomberg Television today.» www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087...

In any case, it seems not nearly as lethal as it looked like in the beginning - more like the regular yearly flu wave, or just slightly worse than that. Maybe it's a great case study for informing epidemiological scenarios. As a researcher, I clearly see the benefits of paying a lot of attention to this now (and spending some money)... we don't know nearly enough about how such things spread over the world, and we need to know if we ever want to be able to curb a pandemic - this time or the next...

The economic impact is obvious! «Mexico began shutting down all non-essential work and services on Thursday to slow the spread of a new flu strain» www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSTRE5...[/quote]
The this flu was created by the US to knock out Mexican competition, eh?

We are wrongly mis-informed.... i am having a difficult time with accepting this Suddden News H1 N1 Flu .... but i do suspect that our Government officials have something to do with this Virus..... The amount of Chem Trails polluting our skies.... is alarming... they streak our skies everywhere WHY ?? & For what reason?... and of course government reports that they need them up in the skies... for protecting home land security.... Right my @SS... Well Then these Chem trails can easily fly over where enemies might lurk.... such as (Oceans & Boundary Zones)..... why are these Jets constantly over our house...?? I Think I know WHY...... slowily we're being poisoned with nerve gas & toxins...

Mlyons619:
"serious than the flu most folks get"
That is, _ten times as deadly_ as the Islamist bombing that the USA warped into an excuse to invade!
If over three thousand people died in just one place in the same day, we'd be talking a panic, so your asinine anti-American remarks about 9-11 just fell flat bub!
And BTW you're totally off topic as well...
