I remember hearing about WoW getting a bug that spread like the flu, just like the <a href="drug-rehab.org/san_francisco_california.html">drug addiction treatment in san francisco</a> giving out free h1n1 shots a patch was out pretty fast.

WTF?! The swine flu has not killed thousands of people...

"Really? Really? This hardly seems like something to joke about..."

Let me just quote someone on wowhead. I think they hit the nail on the head.

"People die from bleeding to death in real life as well. Let's remove anything that kills people in real life from the game! We wouldn't want to offend anyone!

Please, tens of thousands of people die from the normal flu every year. A hundred and fifty people die in a place like Mexico that has poor health care to begin with and the world freaks out."

This isn't funny it's realy cruel to make a joke of a plauge that has killed so many people's it's just wrong to make it like this

Ok so this is just a joke and everyone should get over it,my question is this. The posts i see here seem to be all from immature persons or teens that think everything is funny these days.Sorry but i guess i was raised in a different time period when s@%t like this was not funny.get's really old in trade seeing all the crap.WOW may be the largest MMO,but it is still the only one filled with immature people IMO.And as always opinions are like a$$holes every body has one

Imagine if this swine flu debuff was real. I would lol. Imagine if there was a cancer or Aids debuff, thats a real sh1t storm.

OK folks has anyone noticed the link between the Obama visit a few weeks ago in Mexico and the timeline of when it started. It seemed to have started just after he got there. I'm not saying He himself had anything to do with it, but he has ppl that may have had something to do with it. Surprisingly we already had 50mil stock pile of Tamiflu and Relenza. Oh and that child that died in Houston was from Mexico not TX. Yet surprisingly if just one case is reported from a school as a possible they shut the whole school system down. Now does that make since. What is it the government may be planning. Hmmmm.

Dignified, it was originally transmitted from pigs to humans, but now it's more human to human.

Oh and everything can be joked about.  Let us not forget the immortal words of George Carlin.   "Say you can't joke about something because it's not funny. Comedians run into that shit all the time.

Like rape. They'll say, "you can't joke about rape. Rape's not funny."

I say, "f*** you, I think it's hilarious. How do you like that?"

I can prove to you that rape is funny. Picture Porky Pig raping Elmer Fudd.  :-)

"Let's all contribute to the killing of pigs all around the world, even if they have NOTHING to do with the so-called 'Swine Flu'. Pigs don't carry it and therefore don't pass it on to anything."  Ummm...IDK where o begin.  Have you read anyting on SwineFlu before you started spouting your "learnin"?  Point of fact-Swine Influenza (swine flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza viruses.  But hey youre probably right and CDC.gov is probably wrong.  Oh well food for thought.

it`s a joke get over it lol

Hi Sjampoo,

unfortunately MDs are worse at spreading bad practices, look at your use of antibiotics to treat a cold cold..lol. You are so insurance scared, you provide antibiotics to patients, if they demand it, since you don't want to end up in law suit.

pardon if I take second opinion from a virologist and not MD :-)

lol @ Meatpieandwow

Shivrael, thank you for pointing out what needed pointing out.  :)

"Dammit bill, you cant raid with us till you get that sh1t cured bro".

Mastrgamr.

Since I worked and developed Flu vaccines, you comments are inaccurate and need to be followed up. Swine Flu is worse then regular flu because it is caused by semi-resistant strain of flu virus that may or may not be treated with vaccines depending on the person.

If it was like normal flu, WHO would not being trying to contain the spread and not allow it in their region/country.

Btw other point is, once you have semi-resistant strain and it changes due to weaker person, who may not be able to fight off the virus, the virus DNA may change to adapt and make it fully resistant.

If you want more information visit WHO web site, but do not pass on ill informed info to people.

Fun fact; been out since Wrath release. Contagious sickness like Rabies in westfall only like, 30 second debuff. Comes off of undead pigs in Horde quest zone.

Observe as I cockblock trolls with the efficacy of the human host at the defense of Silvermoon.

no chance blizz would risk a shitstorm like that :)

Swine Flu can trigger a Cytokine Storm in victims, which is more likely to be fatal in a healthy, young adult with a strong immune system than older people and children ;-)

Swine flu isn't anything serious at all... unless you have an uber weak immune system. as far as everyone should be concerned, swine flu has all the sympthoms of regular seasonal flu, it just has a fancy name. i like this event it's cool lol
