Anyone else down with a cold/flu right now?

[ethirtydavid]

I estimate 1 more day for me, been a week and a half

I'm just getting over mine today. Fucking SUCKS.

How about a cold/flu conspiracy to go with this thread:



On June 17, 1996, the U.S. Air Force released Air Force 2025, “a study designed to comply with a directive from the chief of staff of the Air Force to examine the concepts, capabilities, and technologies the United States will require to remain the dominant air and space force in the future.” In the unclassified study, the College of Aerospace Doctrine, Research, and Education at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama posed several “fictional representations of future situations/scenarios” likely to arise.

Air Force 2025 timeline

In 2009, according to a figure in the Air Force 2025 report, influenza kills 30 million people.


In Chapter 5, the authors present a timeline figure representing “plausible history.” In 2009, according to the figure, influenza will kill 30 million people. “A similar influenza pandemic occurred in the past,” a footnote explains, making a reference to the influenza epidemic of 1918 and 1919, described as “one of the worst human catastrophes on record. It has been estimated that more than 20 million people around the world died during the epidemic, and of the 20 million people who suffered from the illness in the United States, approximately 850,000 died.”

“The influenza virus is unique among viruses in being able to undergo so much antigenic change that an antigenically novel virus can sweep around the world in a year or two, giving rise to significant morbidity and mortality,” another footnote states.

It is interesting to note that the source of the Air Force’s fictional pandemic is described as unknown and it is not “determined if the virus was a natural mutation or bioengineered. Many feared the latter.” (Emphasis added.)

Is it merely a coincidence the Pentagon would propose in 1996 a deadly flu pandemic for 2009 when live H5N1 avian flu viruses are discovered in vaccines produced by a Baxter International plant in Austria?

“The fact that Baxter mixed the deadly H5N1 virus with a mix of H3N2 seasonal flu viruses is the smoking gun,” writes Paul Joseph Watson. “The H5N1 virus on its own has killed hundreds of people, but it is less airborne and more restricted in the ease with which it can spread. However, when combined with seasonal flu viruses, which as everyone knows are super-airborne and easily spread, the effect is a potent, super-airborne, super deadly biological weapon” of the sort proposed in Air Force 2025.

Last year, author and researcher F. William Engdahl revealed a Pentagon effort to weaponize avian flu. “If the reports are accurate, this could unleash a new pandemic on the planet that could be more devastating than the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic which killed an estimated 30 million people worldwide before it eventually died out,” writes Engdahl.

Engdahl then suggests “that sections of the international pharmaceutical industry cartel are acting in concert with the US Government to develop a genetically modified H5N1 virus substance that could unleash a man-made pandemic.” He cites Rima E. Laibow, MD, head of the Natural Solutions Foundation, a citizen watchdog group monitoring the pharmaceutical industry, who states:

Our best intelligence estimate is that pandemic Avian Flu has already been created through genetic engineering in the United States, fusing the deadly genome of the 1918 Pandemic, misnamed the ‘Spanish Flu’, with the DNA of the innocuous H5N1 virus in a growth medium of human kidney cells, according to the National Institutes of Health and the vaccine’s manufacturer. Some virologists believe that this would insure that the man-made mutant virus recognizes human cells and knows how to invade them.

Finally, it should be noted that Walter E. Boomer, a retired former four-star General and Assistant Commandant of the United States Marine Corps, sits on the board of directors of Baxter International. Of course, this is not definitive evidence the military controls Baxter or is behind the “accidental” contamination of H3N2 seasonal flu viruses with the H5N1 virus at its laboratory in Austria. It is highly suspicious, however.

Baxter International has had a relationship with the military since 1941, when its blood-collection devices were the only ones that met the specifications of the U.S. Armed Forces.

Recently got over a nasty one.....lasted 4 weeks

[wagonizzle]

Thanks guys; now I don't feel like such a waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles. This shit has had me gripped up for like 10 days now. I am definitely on my way back to normal, but it's taking way longer than usual. For those who have it, just keep drinking fluids and have an extra bed made up for when you sweat-soak the regular one

I had a cold to battle last month - it wasn't the worst I had but the SOB lingered for just over a week. I'm of the mindset that I won't take medicine unless it is really bad. I simply drank a ton of tea - green tea in particular - as well as a lot of water/juice. For a few of the nights I took a shot of Nyquil. If it did nothing to ward off my cold, at least it helped with knocking me out for the night.

I was feeling nauseous for a week 2 weeks ago, then I got better for a day before I got a fever. I got over that and was better for a day and now I'm nauseous again. The worst part is I haven't been sick in like 5 years.

This winter sucks.

[TwoJ's]

I slept for 38 hours straight the first day, ...

Impressive.

[Peterkaczynski]

i feel like shit throwing up & pooping all night =[

[Collin]

I have midgets drilling at the backs of my eyes and every joint feels like someone is sucking out my cartilage. But I'm happy to hear I'm not the only one suffering right now.

It's like a hangover without the fun night before.
