Skippy…swine in the Financial sector, in the Government and Now in us, cough, cough. You are so correct, its a piggy take over!

BBC reports that Egypt has decided to immediately slaughter all Egyptian pigs. Reportedly, none of those pigs show any signs of illness, but never mind.

The head of the Muslim Brotherhood approved and issued a statement that “Pigs are more dangerous than hydrogen bombs”. Presumably, it serves the world right to be punished for disobeying the teachings of the Holy Qu’ran…

By ‘mobilize,’ I mean inspire and provide financial incentives for private sector innovation in vaccine distribution systems which are known to be inadequate.

I think the time for change and innovation has been declared at the highest levels as ‘now’ and stimulus funds widely publicized as ideal for that purpose?

Production cannot be decided until a vaccine is developed.

My understanding as a reader is that to complicate things there is a possibility of 2 different flu- like diseases being reported.

Here’s another NY Times story that explores the timeline, assuming the U.S. moved as fast as it could, for getting the U.S. and world populations vaccinated:

Federal officials said it would take until January, or late November at the earliest, to make enough vaccine to protect all Americans from a possible epidemic of swine flu.

And beyond the United States and a few other countries that also make vaccines, some experts said it could take years to produce enough swine flu vaccine to satisfy global demand.~

However, the government still hasn’t decided whether or not to proceed with vaccine production:

Federal officials have not yet made a decision on whether the swine flu is enough of a threat to warrant vaccine production.

It really is amazing how gullible people are in how effectively panic has been stirred up; either that, or the disconnect between what our news media reports and the reality on the streets and in the minds of people will have decayed to the level of totalitarian regimes, where reports of surpluses and plenty are looked at in puzzlement by people without anything to eat.

If 20-30y old people in good health start dropping like flies in the streets with visible sores on their limbs, then we should begin to worry.
