Well, actually ... It should be American flu 2.
The Mexican flu was a pig flu that originated in a factory farm in North Carolina:

"Scientists working to understand the genetic makeup of the H1N1 virus that causes the disease have linked it to a virus behind a 1998 swine flu outbreak at an industrial hog farm in Sampson County, North Carolina's leading hog producer."

That was 16 years ago. 👇🏼

We dodged a bullet then. It was 'mild' and it stayed 'mild'. My biggest concern is that we won't be so lucky this time with H5N1.
Especially considering who is in charge in the US at the moment.

Humor and the flu, two things that go together like... like... like...

Okay, let me start over: for a clever and very timely capture of thinking surrounding the 2009 Swine Flu pandemic, PutnamPig's Swine Flu Song -- issued as it was just getting its foothold in the US -- is probably the best go-to. Find out why in this blog post!

#DonnieDumbass' criticizism Obama's handling of the #SwineFlu outbreak in 2009 should be etched into the tombstone of every #Covid victim.

When I think how Covid didn't hit until his final 11 months in office and still killed 405K before he left, and now he'll be taking over for the next 4 years just as a potential #BirdFlu #pandemic is emerging with someone like #BrainWormBearDumper in charge of #HHS, is terrifying. 😱 #DisasterPresidency #CabinetOfIncompetents

I think we’re going to need a bigger chart

A public announcement
So let me go'on announce it
H5N1, I hate to be around it

It's deadly but silent, what a dirty virus
It's coming to attack
I'm scrappin' like a Fighting Irish

I see it on the news,
this swine is growin' strong,
'Fyou feeling sick today then you need to stay at home

(Sorry, I don't think anybody ever made a rap talmbout that bird flu. This was from summer 2009 when H1N1 was epidemic.)

@rbreich
It bugs the hell out of me that NO ONE ever asked #TheOrangeMenace while he was in office to defend his criticism of #Obama's handling of the #SwineFlu #H1N1 outbreak while pointing out just how much worse of a job he did (mis)handling #Covid.

Interestingly this multi series doc, which was really well done btw, but it might be part of the reason masses are so dumb on #sarscov2

My ignorance of #influenza made me not privy to the tropes of how flu works & b/c I don’t have kids & am not a healthcare worker, I declined flu vaccines always & forever

Hence got to learn fresh what most people believe in terms of flu & correlating it w/ Covid…oy vey🤦🏻‍♀️ I get how flu=Covid=vaccines still help got conflated. But news flash, COVID IS NOT THE FLU

Also there’s a scene where they’re doing a hospital drill on #ebola patient & I’m like, YOU GAVE PATIENT ZERO A F%£ING SURGICAL MASK?!?! While everyone is donning an N95?🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

And India… if you guys are worried about #swineFlu & spreading it… there’s this invention called masks & I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL…YOU CAN PUT A LAYER OF SILK UNDERNEATH A WELL-FITTING RESPIRATOR IF ITS UNCOMFORTABLE B/C SILK IS HYDROPHOBIC & COTTON IS HYDROPHILIC. The silk will cling to your skin.

At least Drs in India were wearing proper sealed masks however the usage was inconsistent

And if this doc was meant to panic people into worrying about #avianFlu well… I got a new & crazy #airborneVirus to tell you about that is MUCH worse in terms of population spread🙄

Good: new test 4-in-1 should be available soon. Many ppl suffer from 'Immunity theft'.

1st case of a new strain of #SwineFlu has been detected in a human in the UK *last swine flu pandemic killed 457 ppl in Britain *expert: this strain looks dif. -but: urging Brits to take precautions.

A flu test: important for ppl to ID exactly which virus they are suffering from. Private tests are avail., such as London Med Lab’s pioneering 4-in-1 #Covid, RSV, influenza A & B test.

Man from USA can’t comprehend that not everything relates to 2024 elections

#DonaldTrump #MadeUpNews #MAGA #Republicans #satire #SwineFlu #trump

In 2020 he thought that Covid-19 was a plot to manipulate the election. When he heard of lockdowns in Paris he thought that was in Texas. He couldn't comprehend that events can happen throughout the world, in places that couldn't give a shit about US elections.

I’m sure the placement of these articles in the Grauniad is purely coincidental 🙃

The US has detected H1N2 previously, typically in kids attending agricultural fairs. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/ukhsa-detects-human-case-of-influenza-ah1n2v

🚨*The first human case of swine flu detected in North #Yorkshire!*🚨

One person in the UK has been confirmed to have a strain of flu similar to viruses spreading in pigs, health officials say.

It's the first time this strain has been detected in the UK & close contacts are now being traced.

The A(H1N2)v case was detected as part of routine flu surveillance.

This comes hot on the heels of a growing #UK measles outbreak. 😳

A close friends entire family of four is down with Swine flu virus in Bangalore. Symptoms are fever and possible pneumonia. Apparently it is highly contagious too.

Anyone else seeing such cases in their network in Bangalore or India ?
