WHO claims it’s already too late to prevent a world pandemic…
:o
well I will keep it up til then
Incubation period is 24 - 48h, so it is rediculous to only deny access to planes to those that are already feeling ill.
But really, even in the first day (that the mexican goverment made it public) it was already too late.
Under ‘normal’ circumstances about 30% of the world population will get ill.

great for Java Gaming! 
Move to Madagascar or New Zealand.
We already have confirmed cases in New Zealand, so no luck there, I’m afraid 
Right, I’m writing to the programmers of Pandemic 2 for my money back.
Did you steal this joke from slashdot? ;D
I hope your not saying New Zealand is a joke 
Well just read a little bit on this. 10 people here may or may not have it and 56 other people being monitored.

Pretty cool article, I doubt though we’ll see the streets white of bones.
No, not at all. But in the game Pandemic, where you play a virus/bacteria/parasite trying to wipe out the human race, the smaller island countries tended to close their ports immediately as soon as you started spreading game, making the game unwinnable.
A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?
I hear Antarctica is nice this time of the year.

There’s the solution I’m not sure if cheating on your wife is the cure but something to look at…

I’m glad NZ would survive against a virus/bacteria/parasite to wipe out the human race :

cough :-X cough
:persecutioncomplex:
No. Xkcd, same as the person who posted it on Slashdot.
Er… someone should point out that WHO has said no such thing.
Most recent information from their website-
"The Director-General has raised the level of influenza pandemic alert from the current phase 3 to phase 4.
The change to a higher phase of pandemic alert indicates that the likelihood of a pandemic has increased, but not that a pandemic is inevitable."
WE ALL GONNA DIE!
Just like we did when SARS broke out.
