US President Barack Obama said the outbreak of swine flu had created a "serious situation" in the United States requiring the "utmost precautions." He also asked Congress to release 1.5 billion dollars to help fight the spread of swine flu.
Excuse me Mr President but where do you plan on getting this money? As i recall we are already broke as a nation and in debt. But you go ahead and make us a third world country, I kind of planned on moving to Australia after you were elected anyways.
On the other hand the vaccine for the Swine Flu is months away but they have already started research for it.
A top US health official told lawmakers that vaccines against seasonal flu were likely to not protect against swine flu and that a vaccine against that deadly disease cannot be ready before September.
Its kind of absurd that we didnt already have this vaccine figured out, I mean dont we have vaccines for everything else but Cancer and AIDS? I would be baffeled if China found the vaccine before we did! But it wouldnt suprise me.
The Flu still does continue to spread hitting more countries around the world and taking more lifes.
CONFIRMED INFECTIONS, according to the World Health Organization and national governments: The United States 65, Mexico 26, Canada 13, Germany 3, New Zealand 3, Britain 5, Costa Rica 2, Israel 2, New Zealand 3, Spain 4, Austria 1.
So Obama put OUR money back in your pocket and use the labs we already have and find a vaccine, before september perferably! I mean unless this is your idea of population control...

Even if Obama increases the government's debt, there is little to no chance that us, as a first tier country, will turn into a third world country. Even with the Great Depression half a century ago, the United States survived that and remained a first tier country. What's to say that won't happen again?
It is extremely hard for the pharmaceutical companies to push out a vaccine so quickly for this mutation. Considering the H1N1 has a high possibility of mutating again, the mutated version could be immune to the vaccine. The company would then need to continue to push out new vaccines and abandon the old ones for the old versions, which is not profitable in a business point of view.
I do like the idea of moving to Australia in general. The scenery is beautiful and the country is not as polluted at the United States.
